Look at this wonderful new fence that they installed for the Flyers for the 2009 season.

They also moved the entrance from the center of the ride off to the side to hopefully provide some shade for the patrons waiting in line.

We are glad to see such attention spent on such an old ride.  It shows the dedication that Knoebels has to the maintenance and presentation of each and every ride.

A new ride has been added to the main midway.   A great kiddie himalaya ride is located between Skloosh and Downdraft.

What impressed me the most about the install the is great new fence and wonderful sign.

We have a small construction update on the flying turns.

As of just a few weeks ago, the transfer track structure that was in place has been removed.   Also the transfer track itself at the base of the main lift has also been removed.

What does this all mean?   As of now there is no official word on reason or a new scheduled opening date for the flying turns.   We will keep you updated as we get more information.

Here are some photos of the dismantling of the High Speed Thrill Coaster.

This was the last known Overland coaster in existence.   It will be replaced with a new family coaster this year.

It is sad to see you go!

This year Knoebels will be removing the high speed thrill coaster.

Thanks for so many years of fond memories... You will not be forgotten.
