All I'm saying is that Carowinds had better not even think about laying a hand on those flying scooters so as to tame them... :laser:

sounds like the Flyers installed at Carowinds are snappable although themed to Kim Possible (I beleive) in the Nickelodeon section.

A little strange as a well snapped flyer tends to scare parents with small kids.


Yes, they are very, very snappable, not to mention that the ride op enthusiastically encouraged it. I was there today (and am in Winston Salem now, headed north of Richmond tomorrow) and I can't believe that deep down I doubted how fun that would be. I took five flights, and by the second one, I was really kicking ass, and yes, I am sore, but no bruises adriahna, so I guess I wasn't successful by your standards That was so freaking fun, really an awesome sensation when you get all that slack.. oh, I cant wait to go back and Im glad that they are a 4-hour drive away from me, they were second to only Top Gun in my book, which also blew me away.

About 200Kb each:

Yessir, the Flying Eagles are legendary. Glad you had such a great time on them, Bob - I cut my flying scooter teeth on those tubs, and can't say enough in their favor. Awesome.

Six Flags Over Georgia used to have a flying scooters ride, sorry, I just came across it and I didnt know.

"Phlying Phyrupus (Electric Flyer): a traditional Flying Scooter ride (2-person vehicles on cables with a big rudder to allow you to go up and down as you swing around). The Flyer was located at the end of the Cotton States section (now a climbing wall). "

I wish they still had it
