Mountain Gliders is a Flying Scooters ride built by US manufacturer Bisch Rocco currently located at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
History
The ride first opened at Coney Island in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in 1940. In September 1971, the park closed and the ride was moved to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, USA the year after. It was renamed Flying Eagles in 1976.
In 2004, Antique Cars and Flying Eagles were removed to make room for The Italian Job: Stunt Track. Flying Eagles was then relocated to Paramount's Carowinds in 2005, where it was added to the Nickelodeon Central area and renamed as Phantom Flyers, based on the Danny Phantom animated series.[1]
Phantom Flyers became Woodstock Gliders for the 2010 season when Nickelodeon Central was renamed Planet Snoopy.[2] The area was renamed Camp Snoopy in 2018 with Woodstock Gliders being dismantled. The ride remained in storage in 2018, but was rebuilt within the park in 2019 as Mountain Gliders. The ride was now be located in the Blue Ridge Junction area.[3]
