GMAN962 Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Went to Knott's on Sunday, I had a very good time, but didn’t ride any big rides until about 1/3 of the day was done. My brother, vjgx, went on more than I did, because right now, I’m not a super intense thrill seeker, and I’ve just begun to like coasters. Enjoy my first TR! So we get to Knott's, we go to the sign that shows which rides are closed. Today, it's Perilous Plunge and XLR8R. My brother was really disappointed because of the fact that XLR8R was closed, and later on, so was I, but if you've seen my thread first thread, which is right here http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25982&highlight=advice you'll know that I was afraid of coasters, well......that's changed alot. We ended up starting at Silver Bullet, at the time i was too scared to go on, but later, i did. More on that later in the TR. My brother and his friend went on it, and we waited outside, they got on and off in about ten minutes. Next, was The Calico Mine Ride, going on this is sort of a tradition of our family, we've gone on it every time we went to Knott's. It was interesting, I mean, I haven’t been to Knott's in at least four years, and we were too scared to go on anything then. Then we went to the log ride, just for the heck of it. It was pretty fun, but didn’t get us wet. I went on this one. Next up was Boomerang, I didn’t go on it, but My brother and his friend went on it. They said it was fun, but a bit rough. I expected worse from a Vekoma, lol. Then they went on Supreme Scream, I was too scared to go on this too. But my brother says it's the best ride in the park. He loved it, and went on it twice in a row. Then again, he hasn’t been on XLR8R, and he wants to go on it, so do I. Then we got Dippin dots. Good ice cream, but way too expensive. haha. We went on Jaguar! Just for the heck of it, fun ride, hands up the whole way. It was way too rough though in the back seat. Not nearly as bad as Ghostider..... Then my brother and his friend went on Montezuma’s Revenge. I was too scared at the time, but later, I would go on it. We all went on the swings. The free air kind of helped us cool off. We then went on Jaguar again....I mean, it's a Kiddie Coaster, but it's pretty fun. I almost tried grabbing a branch....lol We then went to Big foot Rapids.....about a twenty minute wait. Not bad at all. Then we went on Ghostrider....worst........ride............ever.......it made me feel really bad....SCREAMING HEADACHE AFTER IT.........................If you haven’t been on it, don’t go on it. Then I decided I wanted to go on Silver Bullet, I went on it, loved it, and i like roller coasters much more now. I loved it, but I thought the helix was pretty intense........Loved it. Helped me get used to roller coasters big time. Then I decided to go on Montezuma's Revenge three times. I love that launch. That's what totally changed my mind about XLR8R, and made me angry about the fact that it was closed............. oh well.....great ride. Then My brother and his friend decided to go on Supreme Scream again, since I’m still afraid of that ride, I decided to go on Silver Bullet again......I went on the front, right seat. I got a lot of head banging, and it kind of hurt, but I still had lots of fun. After that, it was time to go.......I were all tired by then, but it would still have been fun to go on more rides. Here are some pictures of events in no particular order. All of these photos are mine unless otherwise stated. XLR8R.....THROUGH THE TREES!!!!!!!!!! OoOoOoO Aww man, it's closed again, and they didn't even know what was wrong with it......darn you Knott's Aww man, it's closed........... Second Favorite ride at Knott's in my opinion. Love those launch coasters, it made me want to go on XLR8R VJGX'S SIGNATURE MOVE ON SUPREME SCREAM!!!! \m/^_^\m/ Getting ready to have a Supreme Scream.

man Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Yea I missed plunge too on thursday but got xler8r. How did you hate ghost rider that rides awsome
vjgx Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 ^ Maybe because some people (including me) don't like to come off a roller coaster with a huge headache! I mean, the ride was fun, but the pain on the turns and from the ensuing headache ruined it for me.
