Fresh Coaster Track Now Arriving at Knoebels for Impulse

A post-holidays gift arrived at Knoebels this week - new track for Impulse!  The new roller coaster is the largest single investment in the history of the park, a modern steel ride that features several inversions and a vertical first drop.  The first piece arrived by truck after traveling across the ocean from the manufacturer.

The track is a brilliant cobalt blue color, which will eventually be set against a neon yellow support color.  Impulse is being manufacturer by Zierer, and will utilize triangular shaped track for much of the layout.

The park had to unload the track in some of the coldest temperatures of the winter so far, below zero in fact.  Thankfully the recent light covering of snow on the ground only makes the track's color look even better!

This photo is actually a few weeks old, but it shows the massive concrete pour that was completed in order to form many of the coaster's footings.  The park has continued to update their daily time lapse footage, which is available on Impulse's website.
