Ghostrider usually has a refurb inbetween spring break and summer, could be that.

Hey guys.... I moved to San Diego last year from Philly and thinking of hitting up Knott's for the first time this Sunday 1/30. Been checking the website and it has listed Xcelerator as closed for the last week+ but I thought it just opened back up after the repaint? Does anyone know if it has been open? Also, is MR still open or did they close it down again for the refurb?
Thank you!
Xcelerator is operating weekends only until a new part arrives, supposedly this is to prevent another Hangtime situation.
-
Superman is back open, does anybody know what's going on with Lex Luthor as that's been closed for an extended time also.
-
Maybe they decided to keep Montezooma open longer to help with ride capacity

Closed Rides:
High Sierra Ferris Wheel
Pig Pen's Mud Buggies
Wipeout
Supreme Scream
Timber Mountain Log Ride

In the past, they always closed at 6PM during the off-season - leaving about an hour for night rides after the sun sets at 5PM.
Also as someone who can't get there at opening losing that extra hour at the end is a bummer.
-
Beginning in January the park will close at 5pm on weekdays. Lame

^Anyone know what that ride buried in the trees at 1:37 is?
Isn't this coaster currently the Magic Flyer https://rcdb.com/749.htm. This coaster has moved locations a few times and has had many rethemes.

I was just at Knotts and Xcelerator appears to be down indefinitely, the ride looks abandoned just like Hangtime.
Its also been added on the websites closed rides list
Closed Rides:
HangTime
Pig Pen's Mud Buggies
Wipeout
Xcelerator The Ride®

Does anybody know what happend to Hangtime, its been closed for more than 2 weeks now?
-
Does anyone know if Chaos came from MGM Grand Adventures? It opened a few months after the closure of the park.
-
When was the last time they ran Fun House Express?
-
So apparently a new thrill ride is coming this fall, has anyone heard any rumors?
Where'd you hear that? The property is in the middle of changing ownership as well as the pandemic shitshow. I doubt they're adding anything new until late 2021 at the earliest.

Looks like Hangtime valleyed during a test run this morning.

I see this as one of two options:
1. A new dark ride or theater ride of some sort to replace Mystery Lodge.
2. A new theme, overlay, or revamp of Voyage to the Iron Reef.
I think they're both equally likely. Mystery Lodge closed earlier this year, which could be a sign. But given the 100th Anniversary celebration, re-theming Voyage to something like Bear-y Tales or Kingdom of the Dinosaurs to bring back a classic would be fitting as well. Exciting stuff!
Don't forget the 'VR Showdown in Ghost Town attraction closed recently.

Wow, I'm glad I wasn't on that highway at the same time as you.... Sheesh.
Why?
I think its because you're taking pictures on your phone while driving.

only 2 new mazes?
I believe thats been the norm for a long time now.

Help!! It looks like GhostRider, Revolucion, and Calico Mine Train are closed on the weekdays during my visit, but are open on Saturday/Sunday. Is it worth switching a Wednesday at KBF to a Sat/Sun with much higher crowds? Here is the current itinerary:
Mon: Six Flags Magic Mountain
Tue: Six Flags Magic Mountain
Wed: Knott's
Thu: Disney California Adventure
Fri: Disneyland
Sat: Disney California Adventure
Sun: Disneyland
Quick correction, it's the Calico Railroad that will be closed and not the Calico Mine Train.

It appears Timberline Twister and Camp Bus are permanently closed, both attractions are behind walls and have been removed from the Knotts website and app.
