I'd heard that they might have it fully open on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I can't make any guarantees. Thanks for the review! Sorry you couldn't ride it more times!

Can this all stop now? Thanks for the reviews VF15 and MonorailORANGE! I can't wait to hear more!

So awesome, thanks!!

Quick question, I remember hearing that DW had the option of a free visit the night before, with a purchase of a 1-day ticket. Is this policy still existent? I can't find it online. If so, can somebody explain how it works?

You obviously have never ridden Superman el Ultimo Escape at SFM. That coaster is NOT forceless, it actually has stronger airtime than most B&M hypers!

Thanks for your review! I'm looking forward to riding it!

Umm... Manta isn't even SWO's best coaster. I saw pictures that park employee's are riding today! The coaster looks fantastic - I think it may be one of the best B&M Megas under 300'.

I'm having a really hard time figuring out what hill you're referring to seeing as how the first two inversions are back to back. Also, I think you're combining two different elements when you say "camel back stall". Haha, I had the same confusion.

Tell us more! Favorite element? Best spot of airtime? Biggest surprise? 13-14 moments of airtime is insane!

Hey PhantomPoster, Have you heard any updates on what the 2017 coaster is going to be? Still a B&M? Any idea on what type?

To each his own but I think Magic Mountain still completely punishes them in the coaster department. It's not even close. It would help their coaster lineup though which would help solidify Knotts' standing as a more well rounded park than Magic Mountain. I personally have a nerdy system to determine - I value a park's "coaster lineup" on how many rank-able coasters they have - basically how many coasters I consider "great" (which, for me are 35 steel and 15 wood at the moment). I don't even bother trying to rank anything less-good than my lowest-ranked coasters (which happen to be Medusa at SFDK, and Lightning Racer). I understand that some people really like the lineup at SFMM - I think they have a lot of decent coasters that don't reach greatness. SFMM has only one coaster that's even good enough for me to rank, TC. Knott's would likely have three if they built a Megalite or Dive Coaster. At least for me, I would choose to visit Knott's over SFMM every day if they added one airtime-focused coaster after opening GR. For reference on my system, some parks have quite excellent coaster lineups: -BGT has 4 coasters -CP has 4 (likely more now) -Hershey has 4 -BGW has 3

I would love a Chance Hyper GTX or a small B&M Hyper (Goliath at La Ronde) or small B&M Dive! Any of those coasters would essentially boost Knotts' coaster lineup to the best in California! New GhostRider+Xcelerator+something relatively tall with airtime is better than what SFMM has (Twisted Colossus+Coasters I don't really care to ride)

God, I hope so! Screamscape is reporting it too. This is how I've wanted them to redevelop the park to gain space and utilize the real estate! I am hoping they can further improve the Boardwalk atmosphere. The 2013 renovation was great, I hope they can extend that across the whole back half of the park. Here's the space I imagine they may be able to work with: Yellow: The land occupied by Riptide and Boomerang Red: The land occupied by Sky Tower, Wipeout, and various food/games buildings. Demolish the Sky Tower like they originally planned for Windseeker. Orange: Move Wipeout to Windseeker's spot! Kinda like how they moved the Scrambler. Blue: I don't know what these buildings occupy, but it may be possible to use this space too?

After reading about Holiday World for the past 10 years, I've finally secured plans to visit! I am beyond excited to experience these truly unique coasters, and even the waterpark! How would you all expect crowds to look like on a Saturday at the end of June? Wait times for coasters? Wait times for the water coasters? Thanks for the advice!

This ride has a lot more going for it than Lightning Rod... It's clear cut to me that this ride is looking like it will be the best wooden coaster in the world. I disagree, I think it's impossible to truly tell which one's better when you haven't even see a real pov of either. I think both layouts have extremely unique features and both use their terrain tremendously! I refuse to make any actual judgement until I ride both! Judging by how much I enjoyed Outlaw Run, I think it's safe to say that Wildfire and Lightning Rod will eventually become my two favorite!

This coaster seriously looks like the best wooden coaster in the world (Other than possibly Lightning Rod). I can't wait to come out there and get on it!

I will hopefully be riding this opening weekend, along with Joker! Road trip for me!

That seriously looks like it will kick all types of ass! That's a first test run?! That second half looks stellar!

WHERE?! I can't find it!

I have ridden 6; all currently operating except SC and WC. Here's how I'd rank: 1. Outlaw Run 2. Medusa Steel 3. New Texas Giant 4. Iron Rattler 5. Twisted Colossus 6. Goliath I expect Joker to end up around NTG and Medusa. It looks really great!

The latter half (basically everything after the stall) look phenomenal! It really keeps it's speed for a first test run!

I'm seriously considering buying a plane ticket to Gothenburg just to ride Wildfire, Helix, and Balder. This looks INSANE!

#361 Flight of the Hippogriff at USH yesterday! Suprisngly forceful, and fits in great at the Wizarding World! Mack Youngstar is way better than a Vekoma Roller Skater. Forbidden Journey is my favorite dark ride of all time!

For the past couple weeks I have been learning a ton as an Associate Engineer for WhiteWater West, designing and building with FlowRider. I'm so happy to be in the attraction industry!!

I'm less than 2 miles from SeaWorld San Diego and Belmont Park.
