I've never riden one before, but to snap them means that when they are going fast, you, as it says, snap them (you make them go around the corner as if a circle has a corner, so that the car jerks to the side. It sounds really fun. Sorry if my definition is a little off and confusing. It's kinda like the Tennessee Twister at Dollywood (the spinning ride in country fair) where you pull back on the bar or lean back to make them spin. Good times on that ride, especially when your riding with my dad. Me and him have a blast on that thing. The only problem is that my mom gets dizzy really easily, so we restrain ourselves from doing that often.

IT mostly means to make it go out of control right?

When I rode the flyers at PKI, I couldn't do any of the stuff they did in the video. I suck at those flyers.

I might ride this ride in 05 but it will look pretty chidlish and it will look wrong to me on a kiddie ride but it sure looks fun.

The Eagles really isn't a kiddie ride. It seems more adults ride Flyers than kids do(especially during PPP at Knoebels.) I'm looking forward to them nesting at the park next year. Its nice to see a "traditional" ride being installed than one of these new suped up giant size thingies. I'd love to see the swings come back now but its not gonna happen.

Ha Ha. My main goal in life is to make confusing posts that no one can understand! He He He He. :lol: :D :P Sorry if my definition was confusing, but, you do know that its knida confusing to explain. Howabout you simplify it done so that people can understand it. Thats as simple as I think that I can explain it. I also think that I left out some really important punctuation marks.
