Hey everyone! Jeff and I were invited to a special preview event for Skyhawk & Flying Eagles today. Both rides were a great time. Skyhawk took some practice to get the hang of but will be a huge hit this season. The current record is 59 flips in one cycle. I was only able to hit 24. Flying Eagles are a larger version that have larger gondolas allowing for two full-sized adults to fit comfortably. It's amazing how well it interacts with the Treetop Adventures (formerly Chopper Chase).

This is the view looking down the path from the Mountainside Bakery & Cafe (former Cookie Cafe).

And this is the entry plaza to the ride. Queuing to the left of the operator booth & the exit gate is immediately to the right of the booth. And those big TV screens are where you'll see your "flip stats."

Be sure to check out the preview of Skyhawk and Flying Eagles complete with POV of both rides. Can Jeff and Nick beat the flip record? See below. 

The marquee sign/logo looks fantastic! Are you ready to "Earn Your Wings?"

The covered queue looks great and will provide much needed relief from the hot, summer sun. There will be signage in the queue area that shows aspiring pilots how to maximize their flips when riding. And don't worry, the railings will all be installed for the first public rides coming up soon.

The entire ride area looks great.

Here are the red seats.

And here are the blue seats. The decals look fantastic!

And of course, the cables have been run & attached.

It was a bit cloudy today but everyone that rode Skyhawk agreed that it's a great addition to the parks awesome lineup of flats/thrill rides.

And here's a reverse POV shot the park provided us from a nicer day a couple days ago.

After checking out Skyhawk, we made our way over to Kidzville to give Flying Eagles a spin. The entire area looks much better than previous seasons. Flying Eagles fits right in

Snoopy & the Peanuts gang were all waiting for us.
