Flying Turns

Flying Turns is a specific model of bobsled roller coaster.

John Norman Bartlett, a British aviator in World War I, came to North America after the war with an idea for a trackless wooden chute, full of twists like a bobsled course, with toboggan-like cars, based on a bobsled ride that operated in Europe.

When the ride went into production, much of the idea was the same, but the cars looks more like monoplanes, which Bartlett designed.

Miller worked on the loading station, supporting structure, braking system and incline.
