As you can see Bond had a great time taking a spin on Knoebels Hand Carts.



Not a lot of coaster enthusiasts know that Knoebels as a wicked slide back at the edge of the park in the middle of a bunch of their kids rides.



The Sky Slide actually began it's life at Knoebels as a home made simulator back in the 1960's.  The rocket part of it laid down and people would go sit inside it and would watch a movie about going into space.  The rocket would then tilt up and down to go along with the film.  After it outgrew its popularity Knoebels stood it upright and transformed it into the Sky Slide.



Bond was a little nervous trying it but as soon as we started down he, and I were in love with the Sky Slide.



Inside the Sky Slide is a spiral staircase where you can see where the floor once was from when it was a simulator.  Once you get to the top though it's a twisted trip back down to the ground.
