Big Flying Turns

Say it slowly: Big...Flying...Turns
By Fossil

Big Flying Turns simply assaults the rider with its drops - there are 23 of them in all. Considerable tuning and testing was required to adjust turn speed to avoid crashes, and include enough of them to qualify as EX class with this style of coaster.

Big Flying Turns is able to join the elite EX coaster class with a mere 4,331 feet of track. Considering that corners must be taken at limited speed, and that there are neither steep drops nor inversions, this is a notable achievement.

The lift hill is a "handle" design that can nicely be built against the side of a hill. Since the maximum lift hill size is used, the ground under the top of the lift must be at least as high as the ground under any other piece of track.
