Test Track was my favorite ride at EPCOT when I last visited it back in 2005. I was very worried that the new dark ride section would destroy the ride and it would feel like a video game. After watching that POV, it looks like a very good improvement over the old version which surprised me. I like the futuristic design to it and I really like how the semi truck effect is still there. It's good that the outdoor section of Test Track is the same as that was definitely the highlight of old Test Track.
Also, since my family owns GM-only cars, I thought it was nice that they had the "Connecting to Onstar" at the beginning of the ride.
It should be very quiet on Wednesday. For the first upside down coaster, you will not have any problems, trust me. I know how nervous it is, but you will not pass out and you will have a great time. I hope you'll have a good time on your first upside down coaster.
Also, Xcelerator is the best coaster at Knott's.
After looking at these photos, it looks like this park has no shade at all.
Stomach King - This is an interesting name...
Chinese Food - This is China...
Honestly, I don't think Montezooma's Revenge has any inspiration to Full Throttle as the only similar characteristic it has is a launch into the loop. Plus, GL & wild mice have nothing in common.
Paramount removed Tidal Wave in 2002 and Cedar Fair removed Invertigo in 2010. Invertigo was removed because they were selling the park like you said, but Tidal Wave was removed for other reasons...
A Mack Spinning coaster would be really nice here. They can be built with a compact design and I wouldn't imagine them being too expensive. Also, a GG woodie like Twister could be built on the new pier(s).
When I saw Mt. Baker, I obviously knew who made the trip report.
I have to say the ski resort is in an amazing area and your photos show the area well.
