Based on the short 15-second teaser, this is unconfirmed and built based on what can be seen in that video. This roller coaster that the whole family can enjoy features an out-and-back layout with 1280-feet of track and a height requirement of just 40 inches.

It seems these new family wooden coasters are the new hot seller for The Gravity Group, with Kentucky Kingdom picking one up for the 2019 season! Please note this is not the official release from Kentucky Kingdom, but copies the layout shown in their short teaser.
The Kentucky Flyer features a 45-foot drop at a 52-degree angle. It reaches a top speed of 35mph and features turns with banking up to 54-degrees. The short-in-stature coaster may not have the biggest stats, but the low-to-ground, quick-twisting elements will likely make for quite a ride. Kentucky Flyer features 12 moments of airtime and The Gravity Group's Timberliner trains, which allow for a tighter turning radius, delivering a ride that truly everyone will enjoy.
Has anyone been able to ride one of these family-style Gravity Group coasters? What did you think of it?
