Yes, it coasts uphill on every corner 
Geez... Some things are just obviously a coaster, and this is one of them.
Looks stunning and beautiful and I'm jealous of anyone that can get to ride it. There's nothing as pretty as a wooden coaster, and I don't think I've ever seen anything this pretty in a long time!

Somewhat strangely, there isn't a coaster project for 2007 that I'm more interested in than this one. Knoebels' is a great little park and I hope this ride turns out fantastic.
The figure-8's portion of the structure is looking like it's nearly complete and they are stretching the layout from there at a good clip. Apparently the portion of the trough that looks done will get yet another layer of planking as they get closer to completion of the ride.

Seems construction is going well now, with the lift hill on its way up.

This thing is taking forever to build and open. Screamscape say it is now expected to open in 2008.

Screamscape has posted a pretty good photo update from Knoebel's Phall Phun Phest showcasing Flying Turns, as well as it's old school test trains.
Apparently these trains are not intended for actual operation and are one of a selection of styles of trains that are being tested to see how they look on the tracks, and are not the actual final design for the trains.
Regardless, it is awesome to see these old style trains running, gives you a real feel for roller coasters from the days of old.

According to a mail I got via the ECC mailing list there should be a POV of FT at the other end of this link: http://rollercoasterfreak.com/2008_ACE_ ... GP8637.MOV
(mind that it's ca 90MB large)
And it is. It really looks cool compared to the steel ones we have today.
