We are a Knoebel's family and waited and watched for years for Flying Turns to be hand built and open. We rode it the past two years and will again on our next family camping trip. My husband and daughter got soaked (ringing out socks)on Hershey's roller soaker and the entire family rode Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure. I enjoyed the ride while the rest of the family just said ouch!
I worked at Cedar Point one summer, so I've ridden Disaster Transport, Iron Dragon, and the Mantis many times. Kennywood in Pittsburgh, PA has The Racer - a variation on a dueling coaster, a wood coaster, where the cars seem to come in on the opposite side of the station as when they left. It is a national landmark.
Kennywoods Racer is a unique racing coaster as it is a möbius loop coaster. That means it is really one long track instead of two tracks.
Not so unique, the Grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is also a möbius coaster. 81 years old and still going strong.
I'm still waiting for an inverted standup coaster!
I've ridden Green Lantern at SFGAdv and it was the most uncomfortable experience ever.
i went to kings dominion in may 2014 and remember riding an overhead track coaster, standing coaster, race/dueling coaster and a bobsled coaster! Some of which I had never seen before!
ive been to Kings Dominion as well. That overhead track is an inverted coaster from Intamin called Volcano: The Blast Coaster, the stand up coaster is from TOGO and is the only one left in North America, TOGO is known for their extremely rough rides. The racing coasters are a pair of woodies called Rebel Yell and the bobsled coaster is from Mack and is called Avalanche Run.
