^Thanks.

Excited to see this ride testing. I've always thought it was neat that a place like this could survive just down the street from KBF. I wish LA County had something similar to find that balance between SFMM and USH.

This ride should make Adventure City a popular stop with coaster enthusiasts while visiting Knott's, and should be a hit with local families, too.

Does anyone knows an opening date for the rewind racers?

We visit Anaheim May 24th - May 31th and we wonder if we can ride it.

Hopefully...!

Thank you!

I know it's not opened yet. I have inquired, but have not heard back. Looks complete though.

I heard June 2nd somewhere, but it's been testing for a while so I'd expect June 2nd at the latest.

Sounds right, I head June-ish. Should soft open before then though.

Rewind Racers looks a great addition to Adventure City to replace Treetop Racers. It's very similar to Ben 10 at Drayton Manor and that's a really fun ride so I expect this to be similar. Great to see them investing in new attractions too!
