Kentucky Flyer

Riders depart the station and immediately ascend the 47-foot (14 m) tall lift hill, before turning slightly to the right and plunging down the main 44-foot (13 m) drop at 52° steep. The ride twists into a pair of double ups before hitting the left-hand turnaround at a 54° banked angle. Several airtime hills are navigated on the way back before the train drops down into the final brake run. When allowed to do so, the train proceeds to make a right-hand hairpin turn back into the station.[12]

Kentucky Flyer's highest point of the ride is 47 feet (14 m) tall, its total length is 1,288 feet (393 m), and the ride maxes out at a top speed of 35 mph (56 km/h), which is achieved on the 52° 44-foot (13 m) first drop. There are 12 airtime moments along the ride, and a maximum side banking of 54°. Designed by The Gravity Group, the coaster is what many refer to as a modern junior wooden coaster, as it is very suitable for children, and similar to rides like Roar-o-Saurus at Story Land and Wooden Warrior at Quassy Amusement Park.[13]

The coaster structure is mainly made of painted steel, although the track and handrails are wooden, thus it can be classified as such. The support structure is painted white while the track has no paint, with red being applied to the handrails.

Kentucky Flyer operates with a pair of 12 passenger Timberliner trains, which have airplane-spoofing lead cars and curved lap bars, the latter of which make the ride suitable and comfortable for guests of all sizes. Timberliners are also far lighter trains than most and can navigate very tight curves.[14]

Kentucky Flyer is located behind the Hurricane Bay waterpark, running in the background of the 2014 Hurricane Bay expansion. The coaster's turnaround is located on one acre of expansion land promised to the park by the Fair Board. The entrance is located near the Skycatcher tower swing ride.
