I was browsing through some of my old photos today and came across a pretty neat aerial of the Flying Eagles taken in 1965 when they were at Coney Island Ohio. Just thought I would share it with those who are interested.

I have a friend from Northern Kentucky and she used to go to Coney Island.

I wonder if she rode these there... I'll have to ask her.

BTW thanks for the pic, I passed it on to her too.

It'll probably be SpongeBob something. Would be nice if they did keep the Flying Eagles theme.

Can't you just see the sails painted yellow with the Sponge's face on them? Its just so exciting to think about that. Not.

Maybe they will slow them down, add water under them and call it Spongs Bob's crash course boating!

I hate StupidBob, he is so stupid. Can someone explain to me why college women like the goofball?

That spongebob (Ms. Puff's Driving School) idea is pretty funny.

I'd like to see a ride like that eventually, just not on our flyers. lol

Heck its a holiday.........

probably the same reason why girls may like you......soo cheesy till it starts to be cute.

And some people wonder why **other** sites dont get the same traffic flow as CC..... (its not rocket science)

It's not just college women, a lot of adults (myself included) like Spongebob.

I heard that 1/3 of the regular TV audience are adults and not because there kids are making them watch it either.

The movie though left a lot to be desired. I was not impressed.

Very nice pic.

I for one am excited about our new ride just because of the history of the ride.

Any improvement to Carowinds is welcome.

:lol:

I'm not a woman... and I'm well out of college. :D

Didn't care to see the movie though, but I think a more permanent ride like the driving school would be a great addition. 3D simulator movies don't seem to last long.
