I just bought my season pass to Knotts Berry Farm yesterday and I'm going to the park for the first time in about two years today. I only have about six or seven hours in the park and I would like to do everything. So it would be really helpful if someone could tell me which rides will usually have the longest lines and when. And what to hit first and second ect.... That would be awsome. Thanks in advance.

Okay this is like the worst case scenario. My birthday just passed right and I was living in Santa Cruz. On my birthday I bought a season pass to the boardwalk there. I only went there twice before I moved to Santa Monica. As you can already guess by now. The horrible thing is that now I have to be tempted to ride the transportation down to Valencia to go to Six Flags. But I won't be able to ride any of the rides. Instead I will just have my boardwalk season pass. I think there should be a way to return it since I only had it for two days before it proved useless. If anybody knows of a way could you tell me please? Because this is killing me!

Going to Magic Mountain hopefully this coming Saturday and scared of X. Definately scared. Waiting in the single rider line will scare me even more. Because I won't have enough time to think about it. I just get in line and wham I'm thrown into death. Ugh. I am gonna pysche myself out so bad. Anyway I am terrified of the ferris wheel after my wretched mother rocked it until our backs were almost vertical. At the tender age of nine. I will always hold her accountable for my fear of that wheel.

Change of plans. My mom decided she didn't want to live in Orange County again because we lived there when I was little. So we're moving to West La. Either Malibu or Santa Monica. Probably Santa Monica though because Malibu is a little costly. Anyway. I'll just be happy to say I live in the (good) part of Los Angeles. Although I was really hoping to live in Malibu.

RCT3 Steelworks problem.
RJD replied to coastercrazed49's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Yeah. I've installed like ten packs and only one didn't freeze my game. I remember the one that is working now I downloaded accidentally to a different file than where I wanted it and again accidentally I extracted it there because I didn't know any better. Anyway I tried to find it in the game and obviously it didn't show up so I just left it alone. Then I came across it about a month later having a greater knowledge about scenary packs and copy and pasted it to the right file. You know the themed one. And it was already inzipped I think. If it wasn't then I unzipped it there. Either way it had the same outcome I suppose. So now it works is my game. So my theory is I have to download these packs to another file other than the one it needs to be in. Then copy and paste it either zipped or unzipped (not sure) to the right file and it should work. Hmm. Hopefully. -
37 Injured In Fairground Enterprise Fire.
RJD replied to Kumali-'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh that is horrible. Although I genuinely pay my respects to everyone affected by this tragic accident I have to say this. Wouldn't it have been so funny to hear someone scream this out as went around and around: I'm meltingggg! I mean I know this isn't a comical situation but still. A random Wizard of Oz referance mixed with a random fire on a fair ground type ride is so utterly random and hilarious to me it's unbelievable. I guess to find this whole thing a little funny you'd have to imagine that it wasn't real. -
Wait, wait, wait. There's no commute involved for me. I am taking the Metrolink. I've ridden one before and the only thing they stop for is stations. So yes... it should only take an hour to get to Knotts. And it should probably only take about a little more than two hours to get to Magic Mountain. On the train. On the Metrolink. Anyways, I decided I want to be a life gaurd cause they get paid more, plus their like teen royalty. And when you're vying for a carrier as a highly photographed socialite it would be good training for me to be regarded with higher standards than regular teenagers. But I digress.... I can't wait to go to the mountain, although I'll have to get up early to get there for the running of the bulls to X it'll be okay. Now all I have to do now is get my allowance....
-
Ugh, no. I do not want to surf, and... on the Metrolink it's like a little over two hours, they said it on their site, I think you were referring to how long it would take if I was in a car. And yes I know that Knotts is only fifty two miles away, while is like a little over an hour with no traffic, if not under an hour. Anyways... I'm just trying to figure out is Knotts even worth buying a pass for along with Magic Mountain? Cause I only get a hundred dollars a month... and with minutes for my phone and saving for a Psp, things are going to get a little costly. One more question... I heard that you can work at Cedar Point at fourteen years old... I was wondering if you could do the same for The Mountain, or Knotts. Anyone know?
-
I got it, I'll but I season pass for Knotts and Six Flags, on the weekends for youth it's only about five dollars. So I'm cool. Uhhh, I'm just sad cause I wanted To ride Millenium Force. Anyway, I'll be making another one of these threads for both of the parks soon. At least I'll have Goliath, Tatsu, Batman, Superman, X, Viper, Deja Vu, Xcelerator, Ghostrider, Montezoomas Revenge, Supreme Scream, Riddlers Revenge, Scream, Boomerang, Ninja, Silver Bullet, and Riptide. Now that I think about... that's awsome, so I'm not so sad anymore.

Oh. My. God. I have a totally major problem in the midst now. My mom, is moving! And the worst part, is that she's taking me too! Just cause it's a little cold is no reason to deprive a teenage boy from his outer-atmospheric rollercoatsers! We're moving to San Deigo.... I know. So now I have to go to the dreaded Six Flags, or Knotts Berry! Damn this turn of events! I think I will kill myself now. Oh... before I do... I forgot to mention that my moms not spending gas money to driv eme more than an hour to a park, so I am banished to the Metrolink. It's a two hour ride to Santa Clarita, plus actually getting to the park! Ahhh, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? I want my Millenium Force, I want my Top Thrill Dragster! No... rescue me. Rescue me from this horrible fate of failure and disappointment.
-
I know right.... I like your avatar Spartan. Wouldn't it be so cool if Pwer Towers cars actually traveled up past the top and actually went over and started to descend down the next spike... upside down! Man that would be so fun. But falling moeny and hats everywhere.

"Shotgun" type waterslides in Southern California?
RJD replied to kayoss's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went on a slide once at the Ymca, this one had two waterslides. And the one I loved had was about twenty feet in the air. It literally had water gushing out of the sides that made such a force the sorta push you down. Anyway, I'd say this slide had about an eighty five degree drop. Now remember, this is about twenty feet high, but the slide itself is only fifteen feet long. It was so fun. I loved plummetting those five feet. I really wanted to do it head first but they would kick me out. Anyway, what I found really cool was that there was a bar on top of the slide, it was there to hold on while you sat down but you could use it as a propellor when the life gaurds weren't looking. Thinking back on it, my favorite way to ride was siting with my legs crossed at the ankle and my chest leaning over my thighs. I remember I propelled myself down the slide and assumed that position on the descent. I had amazing floater going down but ow... that face plant hurt. -
Like I said I'm just going to get all my rides in on everything but Maverick during Saturday cause eveyrones going to be there, then I'll squeeze in a night ride just before the park closes. Then on Sunday hopefully the lines will only be about an hour or two during the morning so I can get one ride in. Then of course double back at closing.
-
Awsome!

I've never been and I started this thread. Anyways, I just came to check up on this topic, yep... it's going good. Anymore questions?
-
I've got it, sense everyone in town knows that Cedar Point is opening in May, and most are sure of the date I'm just going to forgo Maverick on Saturday and get practically Ert on every ride in the park.... Other than Maverick of course. Then on Sunday I'm assuming that sense a lot of people got their chance on Maverick the day before, and it's a church day, not a lot of people will be at the park. But of course I'm not going to spend my day waiting in a slightly shorter line than the day before, I'll just get more rides on every roller coaster in the park and jump in line for Maverick right before closing. I'm smart huh, I know I know. Finally I might skip school on Monday just to get a day ride on the new "family" coaster and to just bask in the Tpr veil that has been draped over the park. Haha, some of you guys are such dorks, I can't pass up the chance to run into you.... Maybe I might even pose. I dunno. To any one that's coming on the fifteenth, see ya there!
-
God, I just hope that Maverick isn't closed, the lines will be killer I suppose.
-
Great, awsome! I'm gonna get my rollercoaster on... mhm mhm mhm.

Oh my god, I never expected this thread to reach two pages. One thing I don't get is how people could line up at the ride at four am. Did you mean line up at the gate? Because in that case I might as well just have my way with Millennium Force and all those other good rides. I have one more question though. : Can you buy your season pass before the park opens and enter the park when they open they open their gates? Or are you required to get it processed or something after everyone rushes in? I ask this because Magic Mountains processing station is located inside the park and it would be a real pain to have to watch the line for Maverick grow to enormous times before I can even be allowed to go ride the rides.
