Definitely Looking forward to West Coast Racers! Love TC, now WCR looks like it will be a blast as well. Another racing coaster can't help but make me think that Knott's was way ahead of their time with the short lived, and horrid Windjammer Surf Racers. Looks like Jet Stream will stay, thankfully. I couldn't imagine loosing another water ride there after the Log Ride closed.

You can take an Uber over to Downtown Disney for an evening, tons of restaurants, shopping and dinning. Splitsville should be opening any day now there. Locally Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, Rock N' Brews (although kind of expensive) is pretty good, and Portillo's Hot Dogs are all great options near Knott's.

MackManiac - Worlds first loop for karts
winningfreak replied to Taron's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That wasn't an "almost" that actually did happen back in the 90's thay installed and operated, briefly a looping waterslide. -
I don't see either Apocolypse or Green Lantern going anywhere. They just spent a ton of money reinvesting in Apocalypse over the summer with it's retracking. And Green Lantern is not even 7 years old yet, and is very compact. If anything I could see it being relocated to another park, maybe to SFStL as they haven't had a new coaster in quiet some time. Or really any seasonal park where they would be able to refurb it in the off season. It will be interesting to see what season pass pricing is on the new passes.

Anytime during the school year on a weekday is usually great. The park is located in the desert and summers days (June/July/August) can often push 100°+. If you do go during these months make sure to have plenty of water. If you visit during October they *include admission* to Fright Fest. The event usually draws a larger crowed than normal and the catch is you have to buy a wristband to do all the mazes and extra activities other than walking around and riding the coasters. I use to live about an hour from the park so I don't have a ton of information on the hotels. I do know there i

The Official "TPR Coaster Poll" Thread!
winningfreak replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Excellent work on the TPR Coaster Poll. I remember Mitch Hawker's Wood Coaster Poll's from a few years back. I still think El Toro holds the top spot for wood. That coaster is one for the ages. Thank you for doing this! I'm super excited to see the results. -
