Scenic Skyway Ski
Lift
The Scenic Skyway at Knoebels is another of the many
rides purchased from another location and brought here
for all to enjoy. Originally located in Sugarbush
Ski Area in Vermont. this leisurely ride takes you up
the side of the mountainside on a peaceful, quiet,
14-minute journey traveling ¼
mile up the forested hillside and back down again in
spectacular fashion, to a total of 2,600 feet.
As you climb the hill screams and laughter fade
behind you as you are lifted hundreds of feet above into
the beautiful woods of the mountainside above the park.
The view from above is a breathtaking one giving you the
sensation of a different kid of thrill ride.
When you reach the summit, and make the 180 degree turn
at the top, you are 360 feet above the park below.
Your decent down reveals a majestic view of Knoebels
park and the surrounding Susquehanna Valley. Most
impressive is the view of the Twister Roller coaster
that rises grandly above the tree tops below. As
you look at down into the park you realize just how much
tree cover there is here. Trees everywhere
that give you welcomed shade on those hot, sunny days
☼. One
of the many valued highlights of this great family park
☺
