^ The sad, sad truth.

^ I love the remake but I also came to the same conclusion as you did.

^ Oh gosh Intamin what have you done.

^ I would say that it is not as scary as you might think. But again if it really terrifies you the ride is short enough where you won't be on it for very long. Plus it's not like the whole ride is backwards.

^^ Those look amazing. This ride just got so much more exciting to me.

^^ Out of the three (Monte, Bullet, Boomerang) I would start on Montezuma's since it is just smooth and fun, not to mention a great classic. And since it is so short if you really hate it your gonna be off pretty darn fast.

I kind of wish they hadn't gotten rid of all the physical sets but it looks like an improvement overall.

I sure hope Ninja isn't on the chopping block yet although with other suspended's being yanked maybe it is. If it were to get removed the only thing that would make up for it would be anything with airtime. But it's MM so it's not going to happen .

^ I think I would enjoy this more than Full Throttle.

^ This. That whole area of the park should get the next revamp after the Full Throttle area. I am really hoping they do as good a job as they did with DC Universe. Not holding my breath for it though.

^ At least an Intamin 12 inversion coaster has an airtime hill. Plus it would at least be better than Viper.

How did your visit go? Anything worth reporting?

Knott's Berry Farm removing Wacky Soap Box Racers for Windjammer.

I really don't feel like cutting Six Flags Magic Mountain any slack on this issue cause other parks have problems with their rides too and yet no other park comes to mind who is so notorious for late ride openings and painfully slow construction on their projects overall.

^ And it has rider in it's name so it's going to be very rough in a few years.

Well it looks like Windseeker is going to be closed for a while longer. Knott's website says that its closed til February 1st. I assume that is just the last possible date it will open due to other rides opening earlier than expected in the past but that still goes to show that these rides really have some serious issues compared to the Star Flyers.

THIS.

^ The problem is you shouldn't have two seats being a decent ride out of a whole train. The wait for the front on Ghost Rider can be pretty long and it is still not that much smoother, just tolerable. In my opinion this is just not acceptable.

It's your coaster count. Each time you ride a coaster you have not been on before you have earned yourself another credit.

^ Not only is the inside partly used by Johnny's HVAC but as many have said the structure is unsound and would have to be rebuilt.

^ So your telling me having four towers sticking into the sky with coaster track swirling around both of them wouldn't be a cool scene/picture? Sure maybe the ride for either wouldn't be that great but it still would have been cool to see.

After seeing that GCI shuttle I wish Knott's had decided to build that instead of Coast Rider. Then they would have another family ride, and it would be way easier to market. Edit: Considering this announcement was after Knott's there is a good chance that this wasn't even an option to be considered because the park may not have known about it. Still, at the very least it would have been cool to see two boomerangs side by side. Second Edit: Screamscape just reported that Knott's could be considering removing Boomerang within the next five years. Certainly wouldn't be missed very much and would free up some space for a newer compact thrill coaster.

The attraction also used to be a tannish brown and orange color which looked really nice. The orange and blue now looks a bit ugly.

^ I get what your saying but Boomerangs are made by Vekoma, not Premier.

^ Sounds like a good idea until you think about the capacity...
