Gmaster562 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Alright so this is a two part TR. I figure we would start on Day 1, because it comes before day 2. Simple. SO the day began... Lets start off with one of my babies... Oh you! Mmmm... This part.... After Xcelerator, we headed down to Supreme Scream! About 10 minutes later, it became apparent to us that the park might be crowded today. As much as i hate the ride, it was really photogenic today.... Ouch. "...And its a knock out!" ...That sound when the train is released... nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnKACHUNK---- WOOOOSH BACKWARDS! ....And then there was Wipeout... GET A ROOM. -WOOSH- Someone obviously has a thing for Ponies that Express... I'm sorry, but that is a darn good picture! It started to get darker, and Knotts started to glow... Alright, i'll finish this off with a cliche picture of SilverBullet's Cobra Roll. Goodnight Knotts! See ya'll tomorrow!
chickenbowl Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Garrett, I really like some of your pictures. What type of camera are you using?
Gmaster562 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Garrett, I really like some of your pictures. What type of camera are you using? nikon coolpix s6200 Never underestimate a digital camera...
Werner Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Some great photo's Really want to visits Knott's one day. But i can't help, some of your shots seem a bit blurry to me. If you zoom in a little more on some of the rides your focus of your camera will be better. But that will take a lot of practice. But to wide shot are just great
DJeXeL Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 ^Followed by more Cowbell..........and then even more Schwarzkopf.
The Yeti Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 ^ I think the "needs more cowbell" reference was covered in the first post
Tomes1225 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Never enough cowbell Great trip report. I'll be going there for the first time this summer, can't wait to ride Xcelerator!
gisco Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Looking forward to being at the park this weekend!
Gmaster562 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Kinda been buried under homework, so here is Day 2 of Knotts! Starring Elie! Piper! Mr. Handsom.... *Guilty* First stop is at Supreme Scream! I like this... a lot. That boom in the middle of the drop.... ssshhhhhhboom... A quick stop on Xcelerator... GASP! Is that...... it is! Sierra and Julia!!!! In line for the Log Jammie We took a spin on boomerang... who was running good today well.... until it broke down on the lift.... It broke down three times that day. Much better than yesterday. Mini waterfall in line for the Calico Mine train. A ride on pony express... It got hot, so we cooled off. if theres a rainbow on your head.... then your pot of gold must be.... Bleh... i have my own pot of gold... We walked around the park a little. A wise man at a WCB once said, "Can we replace jaguar with a real jaguar?" We headed down to Camp Snoopy! Rudie, this one is for you. enjoy it... its the only picture i have of that ride. Twisty! If you bring a camera on a ride without permission, it will be confiscated, and the ride will stop. Ready to ride?! Yea... me neither. if you wanted a trip report with a bunch of pictures in the same spot, you've come to the right place! Start. The ride. Now. A good way to fix the nausea from Sierra Sidewinder is some nice... relaxing... Ghost rider.... Well since Elie INSISTED we ride supreme scream one more time, we did. Well thats the TR! Ill see you all at WCB!
TXthrills2010 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 They still have their christmas decor up?? ...in February?
Gmaster562 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 They still have their christmas decor up?? ...in February? This TR wasn't taken in february.
simon8899 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Nice to see Knotts again... My day at this park was mixed. Crowds were somewhere "half-crowded" were Montezooma and Xcelerator had max 10 mins wait - the former mostly a walk-on. On the other hand Silver Bullet and Perilious Plunge were running only one train/boat with waits up to 60 mins - only did both once. Really bad bad was that GhostRider and Perilious Plunge were mostly broken down.... What really amazed me was the loooong lines for the Boomerang - always around 30-40 mins - luckily did that one right after opening in the morning were it was a walk-on.
