Thanks for posting the Construction photos Flying High, I hadn't seen those. The location is great and this is going to be yet another great ride addition for my favorite park.

Ok so is this like a ride that goes in a circle or what, that's what i was tryin to find out. Someone said it's a larson flying scooter but sorry, i'm not too familiar with flats so i guess i'm tryin to find out what exactly a larson flying scooter is.

Theres an exact replica of that ride at PKI, the name eludes me at this moment but the same "wings" if you will on the ride.

That ride model is called " Flying Eagles " at most parks I believe.

Definately time for insertion of a fact that is both worthless and somewhat historic at the same time. The platform for Air Crow is the Gravity Groups very first design and construction project

The ride is basically a clone of the Birco Rosch(sp?) Flying Scooters, exept that the ride itself is a clone of a regular park model Flying Scooters(like PKI's) but the seat hangers for each car are cloned from a portable model (like Holiday Worlds), which really is all wrong and makes snapping the cables extremely hard to do, unless you are a real expert, and even then alot of the momentum of the car is lost in rotation of the car instead of slack in the cables (cables are to close together at the point of attachment).

I should change my name to mini-altoff (though I dont suppose any of you know who he is)

I do and you should lol

You know way to much for your own good. But yet again I shouldnt talk lol.

/\ Yeah you know a lot of things that will never help you with anything, and nothing of anything else .

[coastrcorey]

I know who Dave is. Yeah, you both seem to know a lot of random things like that.

[coasterzak]

Oh the famous flyers. I'm still yet to get a good snap on one of those. Indiana Beach looks sweet - if I came out your way this summer would you guys recommend it?

Its like those flying boats they used to have at Riverview. I saw them in this one book.
