In January 2006, Knoebels began construction of a Flying Turns roller coaster, modeled after a similar ride designed by John Norman Bartlett and John Miller in the 1920s. The ride concept is similar to a modern steel bobsled roller coaster, however the Flying Turns will be made of wood, like the original rides.
The layout of the ride is most similar to the original one that was at Riverview Park in Chicago, Illinois.
