Paramount's Kings Dominion's "Sky Pilot" in September 1998.LOCATION: Paramount's Kings Dominion, Doswell, VA
RIDE TYPE: Flight Trainer
MANUFACTURER: Intamin AG, Switzerland
YEAR CLOSED: 1998
CAPACITY: 36 (18 pods, 2 riders per pod)
DURATION OF RIDE: About 2 minutes
This unique flat ride was at Kings Dominion through the 1998 season. After loading the ride, all the arms with the pods would ride up and beging to roated around the ride's center. The two riders in each pod had a lever in which to rotate their pod upside down as often as they wish. Each pod would automatically return to a straight position if the lever is released (to prevent riders from hanging upside down for too long). Paramount's Kings Island in Ohio also had a Flight Trainer, which closed a few seasons before Kings Dominion's.
