G-Force!

Hey everyone, Looking to get the locals advice for some good eats both inside the park and outside around Charlotte. Would like to know at least one BBQ place too that has amazing food. I'll be visiting this park at the end of the month from CA for the first time and have about 3 days to spare. I already decided I am going to get Fastlane because I want to make sure I get the chance to do everything I want to do and will be there on a weekend, so it just makes sense to me to spend the extra money. If there are any other suggestions that might be worth mentioning, I'm all ears. Thanks!

As someone who has grown up with this gem, I am glad it is getting the love it deserves and assures us that zoom will not be going away anytime soon. Wonderful news to hear.

That's an interesting development. Curious to find out what happens.

Took this today but really no progress since the last photos. Fun fact: Knott's no longer sells lids and straws for their drinks. I haven't been to the park ages so this is new to me. Looks like they went the SeaWorld route except at least SeaWorld has the biodegradable straws if I remember correctly.

Usually if there is an announcement for a ride, in the past Knott's has been notorious for waiting until after Haunt. But everything is speculation at this point so anything is game.

Interesting. Well KBF usually announces things after Haunt so we shall see.

Im suprised no one mentioned this yet but technically we are losing a car lenght on the new trains from what I can see. I dont know the weight difference between PTCs and MFs but it could make a slight deviation in ride time and feel. Thoughts?

Great news about Ghostrider. Been riding it since it opened and miss the smooth track it used to offer. It'll most likely be a Top 10 ride again. Cant wait!

Double post. Deleted.

Finally a look at the first inversion going up. Looking good!

That other angle made it look so wrong. The side view makes more sense, but still the speed going through that and the pop of air should be glorious.

The green side sure looks to be the more intense of the two at the moment. As others said, the animation didn't do this ride justice. Everything is looking amazing

Looking better and better each time I visit this thread. I can already see those trains flying through that section in my mind and all I see is airtime

I find it hilarious how everyone seems so against building a coaster at Knotts. Like its illegal to build one at this park because of the history involved and the small amount of space the park has. Times are changing, and the So Cal market is competitive. The park will build based on what the market wants, and if it is a coaster I have full faith that they know where to put it while pleasing everyone (if not most people) and so that it doesn't look out of place. I personally would like to see something thrilling after the focus has been family rides these past few years, but it looks like at this point we will be getting the dark ride for 2015. Cool, now lets switch gears for 2016.

Looking good. Can't wait to see more progress.
