The Flyer has been a staple of my Knoebels experience since I was tall enough to ride them. My Dad was a private pilot and we would often go flying around in his little blue & white Cessna so when I was younger and rode the Flyer with him he would put that aviation experience to good use and really get the snap going something fierce. Nowadays your ride experience can depend greatly on who is operating the ride. I love it when a true master steps up and rides because it really gives everyone waiting in the queue a look at what this ride is capable of. The best part about the Flyers at Knoebels is that snapping is not outwardly encouraged, but it's not discouraged either. Usually when I see people getting reprimanded it's because of the way they're handling the rudder, not because they're snapping the cables. I should mention during their Halloween event Knobels has a nice tongue-in-cheek decoration for the Flyer enthusiasts: One of the cars with a length of snapped cable banged up and jammed between two trees with a skeleton hanging out of it. Good stuff!
