GMAN962 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hey everybody! I went to Knott's today, and am doing a TR now. BEFORE YOU SCROLL DOWN, PLEASE READ! Dan, you might have seen my brother, the thought he saw you. Did you go to Knott's today, and see a guy in a TPR Hoodie? Second of all, A Silver Bullet Ride Op. recognized my brother's TPR Hoodie and said "TPR" or something like that. If you are part of Theme Park Review, let me know! I'll just let pictures explain, because nobody reads the text anyway! Off we go! Here is our ghetto stereo system, an iPod, and speakers. Here we are! I could have sworn, I put it RIGHT HERE, where could it have gone? Oh yeah.....what rides were closed? Ghostrider and Plunge, down for rehab. Not working. Alright, first ride of the day. There were one train operations on all rides, except for the log flume, etc. of course. But I actually think that they were going pretty fast. By the way, at one point, they managed to STACK A TRAIN ON A ONE TRAIN OPERATION!!! Neato! The Mine Ride! Log ride was in between the next pictures. Woohoo! Xcelerator. One of the best rides I've been on. In the running of the bulls after they opened the boardwalk, I was powering ahead of all the kids running, I was passing almost half of the people. I guess you had to see it.... Anyway, here's where I ended up. That's me in the front seat, looking all guilty. It blew my hood off! As good as usual. I also find it funny how I was the ONLY one in that front car on that ride! Moving on to Boomerang! I can't believe I timed that right! It was going back into the station after it's backward run. It was actually running good today! Silver Bullet, from the Sky Tower. I was riding Xcelerator while my brother rode this, or was in line for it. I love this picture! the ride op just came into the picture right before my Mom took the picture! (That's my brother on it.) We ended the day with Bullet. My brother pointed this out, so I took a pic of it! "Property of B&M" By the way, we finally got out Mom to ride a roller coaster again. She rode Jaguar, and liked it a lot! Maybe this is a start.... Anyway, in all, a good day! Thanks for reading! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Mantisman is quite the character. I noticed he loops his conversations. I heard pretty much the same thing 5 times within the 5 minutes I sat next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayjay719 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Nice photo trip report! I want to take a trip to Knotts sometime. How is Ghostrider? But thanks for the pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Cool TR we have the same I-pod Case Hey, It's a good iPod case! Nice photo trip report! I want to take a trip to Knotts sometime. How is Ghostrider? But thanks for the pictures! You should go to Knott's! Make sure Xcelerator is open, though. As for Ghostrider, it's really gone downhill. It's gotten extremely rough. Try to ride it in the morning when it's cooler. You get a smoother ride. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'll be going to Knotts tomorrow and getting my Maxx Pass I still wont be able to get on Ghostrider... havent been on it since I was 8... I want to see if it really is as rough as everyone says... Nice pictures looks like you had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I never noticed Xcelerator's sign saying..."The Ride" on it before. Also, what's that building in the entrance area? That wasn't there the last time I was (October for Haunt). I appreciate this report because I was actually considering going down to Knott's, but it looks like a bunch of stuff is closed for rehab. I'll wait till after Solace. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 ^I never noticed that it said "The Ride" until yesterday either! When you say the building, you mean the round red thing right? That's where the Christmas Tree was in December, they never took out the stand. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yeah, that was a fun trip to Knotts... If anyone's wondering what song's playing on my iPod in the first picture, it's "Vicarious" by Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 They had to drop the "pedal to the metal" tagline, so they added "the ride" to replace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 i guess it's kind of good thing that you guys can see parts of cobra roll from the main gate. it's really gonna made you feel thrilled a lot and looks like it's going to bump into the gate when you look at some different angles..... and it's also fun to see it goes over you. speaking of TR, thanks for your great TR!
