Totally agree with you there. Has Cedar Fair really added a favorite to Knotts since Accelerator? The Knotts family had started Ghostrider when CF took over(and it was running well) Accekerator kicks A$$ and is in my top ten due to the ridicoulas amount of ejecor airtime I got on it in June(1st time in back seat) but it ruins a bit of the ambiance of the classic boardwalk. It did kind of need a coaster, though. Silver Bullet is fun, but never really crowded(the capaciy is good though) but that ride destroyed the park. A B&M in the ghost town area of the park with no theming besides a stage coach with the word silver bullet is an ambiance killer. Sierra Sidewinder- I lied, I like this one quite a bit and it goes well in camp snoopy. There is little to no theming though, and it is a little to bright, but its in camp snoopy. Pony Express- White water wilderness was one of the last areas of knotts with charm, the coaster ruined that. The coaster is also uncomfortable, slow, too short, and not at all thrilling.(even for a kiddie) Cedar Fair also removed tampico tumbler which is a rare(they are rare, right?) flat ride and replaced it with a giant frisbee. I like la revolucion, but it goes in terribly with the area, and the tumbler was my favorite flat ride, probaby ever. Also, the removal of kingdom of the dinosaurs is and will forever be a travesty. I agree with almost everything you said. Cedar Fair needs to stop giving Knotts bottom of the barrel stuff. Pony Express is a COMPLETE joke. It's the worst ride in the park pretty much. Knotts should get a good hyper coaster and just take out pony express.

PTR: Paul's 2009 TPR West Coast Tour
Troy98 replied to Paul_Hollibone's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
LOL I totally remember the Ninja ride worker who would shout Hiiiiiya! -
Sadly, the only two hypers I have been on are Goliath and Desperado. lol Just by looking at POV's on the internet of hypers like Nitro, Apollos chariot, diamondback,Behemoth, etc, I can tell there better then Goliath at magic mountain lol. It seems like all the good hypers in north america are on the mid/east coast. D: Maybe when I'm a little older I can go on one of the trips that you guys go on. I would pick one that visits Cedar Point Btw, thats cool that you live down the street from Six Flags mm. I live 2 hours away from there which isn't too bad. My local park is Legoland haha! I live about an hour away from Knotts.

Matt Does West Coast 2009: Final Update!
Troy98 replied to Speeddeamon128's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
The last time I was at Knotts, (Dec. 2008) It rained in the morning and everyone left the park but we stayed and in an hour it cleared up. That day, I got on a total of 40 rides!!!!! I felt spoiled with luck Xcelerator x10 Silver Bullet x10 Ghost Rider x2 Montezuma x4 Boomerang x2 Sierra Sidewinder x4 Pony Express x1 Jaguar x1 Log Ride x3 Supreme Scream x3 The only thing we didn't get to ride was Perilous Plunge because it was winter time and no one wanted to get wet lol. Ghost Rider is the most painful ride on Earth and that is why we only rode it twice haha. Xcelerator was amazing especially because in the last hour of the day, we were able to ride it 8 consecutive times without getting off in the front row!!!!!! Silver bullet was great as always. The log ride had amazing scenery since it was Knotts "merry" farm. -
Nerdiest Coaster/Theme Park thing you've done.
Troy98 replied to Jds03's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was in the front row of silver bullet and the person working there was telling everyone all the statistics of the ride. He said Silver Bullet has 6 inversions and then I blurted out "a loop, cobra roll, zero g roll, and 2 corkscrews/wingovers" and then the guy was impressed -

That is insane!!! You should totally design park maps. That map looks better then then the actual Hershey park map -

Cedar Point is my dream park. When I get old enough I'm definitely going here and I'll probably stop by Kings Island and Holiday World if i get the chance.
