Hey, Impulse is open! Or at least, according to this article . . . . wkok.info/news/news-news/knoebels-impulse-coaster-ride-ready-to-roll/

I just discovered that Knoebels changed their entire website. I must say it definitely looks improved, I guess its in preparation for the start of the 2015 season. Funny, though, how their Kiddie and Thrill ride pages are switched. www.knoebels.com/

Apparently he was hit somewhere near the cobra roll (not sure if after first drop or before the loop) and suffered a head injury. Probably wondered over near the track after the test started. Regardless, it could have been much worse and I hope he recovers quickly. wnep.com/2015/03/26/worker-hurt-during-roller-coaster-testing/

I wonder if Impulse will have 20 second dispatches like the Phoenix? The loading has to at least be faster than most other coasters simply because its Knoebels.

I believe the cars will generally be the same as those on Wicked, as Impulse's will only have lap bars, too. Probably the only differences will be the colors and that the cars for Impulse will be configured for a chain lift instead of for a launch.
