At PPP, they announced that they were working on building a flying turns. Can you just imagine the reviews a ride like this will get? I might just have to make my way over to Elysburg next year if this is true!

By the way, if you don't know what a Flying Turns is, Norman Bartlett teamed up with John Miller in the 40's (I think) to create what was basically a wooden bobsled. Way more intense than the Intamins and Macks of today.

It is true. So take the question mark off the main subject line! :D :p

Here's a old picture when it was in operation at Euclid Beach. It's the bottom picture not the top.
