[edit] Millennium Flyers

In 1999, GCI introduced the Millennium Flyer, a fully-articulated wooden coaster train. Highly reminiscent of coaster trains of the 1920's, the Millennium Flyer marries modern safety standards to classic design. These trains allow maximum maneuverability through the twisted tracks that are a design hallmark of the company. Previously, the company used trains built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
