Arrow Development Flying Turns Testing | National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives

From scale models to full-size prototype; see how Arrow Development was this close to bringing a modern version of the Flying Turns to life.

Had it been successful, the first model was scheduled to debut at Six Flags Over Texas for the 1980 season. Instead, Judge Roy Scream - a Bill Cobb-designed wooden coaster - took it's place in the park's coaster arsenal.

Ironically, the park would eventually receive a Bobsled Coaster from Intamin - the spiritual successor of the Flying Turns - in the exact spot this coaster was planned to go!
