  1. Rode Ghost Rider two weeks ago towards the back. It's definitely still rough, but i think it's bearable so if you're up for it go for it . They have viewing holes for the Coast Rider construction and you can also view it from the sky cabin so I would assume it's not against park policy to take pictures. My High School and many in the area do not start spring break until the week after next (March 25th on) So I wouldn't expect large crowds, however I'm not sure if colleges are out yet so beware of that.
  2. Yeah I'd say so. Amazing first drop and some nice sustained floater airtime with a little ejector in some areas. While it did feel short compared to similar rides, I loved the sense of speed on it, especially in the front row.
  3. Yeah I was sad to see little Manta so far down. I ended up putting in on my #9 spot out of about 105 coasters haha . Happy with the results overall though! There's definitely a lot of awesome rides in the top 10 that I need to ride someday.
  4. Just signed up for Knott's! This will be my 3rd year participating and I can't wait for another amazing event! Let's do it TPR! http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/jakemcdaniel/KnottsBerryFarm2013
  5. Yeah I agree with this at the moment. Also, in the latest coaster guy update they were asking people whether or not they cared about water rides at the front gate. Hopefully enough people will say yes to convince Magic Mountain to leave it alone.
  6. The Fly at CW was the same if I recall correctly. Seems like a reasonable height requirement for the ride.
  7. I'd have to agree on this one. I haven't ridden it in probably 4 years, but I remember it being quite fun and re rideable. Sure it was rough, but it wasn't enough to deter me from riding it again.
  8. Manta in my opinion is the superior coaster by far. It has length, small pops of airtime, and even some decent theming. Pony Express isn't terrible, but it's very short and not really worth re riding. It's pretty much just a launch into a figure 8 of banked turns and that's it. However, the riding position is unique on Pony Express so that adds some worth to it, but I still prefer Manta by far.

  10. Socal high school student here. Our spring break this year is March 25-April 5th so expect some increased wait times then. However, my high school is a two hour drive from the park so I'm not sure how much my school will affect the attendance.
  11. I've done this event the past two years at KBF and it's been a really good time. I'm hoping to participate again this year, but I'm not sure how my after graduation plans will pan out. I'm graduating High School the Thursday before so hopefully I'll be able to make it! If not, I'll definitely be supporting other TPR riders.
  12. Awesome News! I live in this area so I'll be sure to get pictures of the construction as soon as it begins.
  13. Ok, thanks for the responses! But yeah it didn't piss me off at all just kinda caught me off guard haha .
  14. Decided to head to the park as a last minute decision. It was a good day overall not too crowded and rode everything I wanted too. It seems like the Blue Sky preview center was open with the Fantasy Faire preview but I didn't check it out yet. At the end of the night I wanted to get a quick single rider line ride in on Indiana Jones however when I approached the cast member to get a single rider pass I was told "Sorry we're too busy and not running the single rider system right now." The wait time was posted at 45 minutes. Does this normally happen/ happened to anybody else? When it first reopened in December I went in the single rider line with a wait of 50 minutes.
  15. This is correct. KBF is open 364 days a year.
  16. Great news! This will be interesting however because most likely by that time of year I'll be working at KBF. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to be the ride op for some TPR ERT? Anyways, i'm definitely excited for this event and will be going. I like the schedule change to align with the new attraction openings. To anyone considering doing this event DO IT, you won't regret it.
  17. I'll be visiting Disneyland on Wednesday so probably either Space Mountain or BTMRR .
  18. Everyone hop on the Yolobus to ride to the Yolocoaster Looks like this will be possible after all haha .
  19. Yeah, pretty much every college friend I have that graduated from my high school last year is out. This is our last week, but I'm sure a lot of grade schools in Socal are already out.
  20. Received my gifts! I would like to say a big thank you to my secret santa! I enjoyed every gift you sent me and opening them up was half the fun! I will be wearing this shirt to school on Monday . Amazing shirt! Thank you! The rest of the goodies! Hershey kisses from Hersheypark, a hidden Disney and more guide, and a Shaun White Snowboarding Videogame! Thank you very much!
  21. Thank you for the awesome coverage! This expansion is truly incredible and I hope I can visit WDW sometime again in the near future. Enjoy your new Fantasyland Florida residents!
  22. I grew up at Knott's because my mom worked there and some of my best memories were on Kingdom of the Dinosaurs and the Parachute Sky Jump.
  23. Looking forward to this park opening! I'll be sure to give it a visit and check out all the awesomeness .
  24. Gifts acquired and sent! Can't wait for my person to receive them .
