DiamondBackGirl Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I work at the Columbus Zoo as a ride operator and we ride our flyers after work all the time and make them snap! It's funny because we are told to discourage guests from doing it. I normally don't say much. lol 2 Quote

shadow2k3 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I hit up the scooters today and tried my hand at snapping. I wasn't able to snap as well as others. But for a guy who hasn't tried to snap a scooter since the Flying Eagles it wasn't bad. Practice makes perfect, I suppose. 4 Quote

The Hershey set is probably the easiest to learn on. Any of the CF ones have s learning curve. Quote
Oldschool75 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I finally got a baby snap on Monday. Gonna try again today. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. 4 Quote

LoraX Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 We went to Hershey and it was packed. I didn't get to try their gliders. However, we went to Knoebles and their set is about the easiest ones I've ridden to snap. I wish the WG were like the ones at Knoebels or the old set we had at KI.

The Interpreter Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Did you notice they spin in the opposite direction? Sails are canvas, too. 3 Quote
LoraX Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Yes, I did. I was paying attention. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk 2 Quote

I'm just saying because my KI snaps have caused some to jump. 1 Quote
