The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[Wes]

No that's not ironic at all.

[buckaroo234]

its proof that there may be a merciful god out there.

[thestripedtaco]

Well it looks like Windseeker is going to be closed for a while longer. Knott's website says that its closed til February 1st. I assume that is just the last possible date it will open due to other rides opening earlier than expected in the past but that still goes to show that these rides really have some serious issues compared to the Star Flyers.

While we're on the subject of Knott's in 2014/2015, I'd thought I'd give my opinion of things.

 

As said before, KBF getting a mini B&M hyper (similar to Goliath in Canada or Hollywood Dream in Japan) would be a great addition. But, now that PP's space is occupied by the new attractions, the question of space still remains. Does anyone have any idea where they would put this ride?!

[Mechanic]

Wherever it will fit.

Lesson Learned: Knott's shouldn't name rides using the word WIND.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

God forbid they finally build an Intamin Giga and name it "Windrider"

[XYZ]

At least Coast Rider doesn't have wind in its name, so perhaps it won't have any problems...

It will coast to fast, and then be trimmed to death like every other wild mouse.

[thestripedtaco]

^ And it has rider in it's name so it's going to be very rough in a few years.

[MylesG4L]

Don't forget It's at the boardwalk so you know what that means..... Whoosh, another hurricane that'll wash out the rides.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

I plan on going into the park for a few hours today and will see if I can get some construction pics and anything else going on

[jray21]

Eat some fried chicken and Knott's shortbread cookies for me! I haven't been since WCB, I really need to visit! Are they still doing the craft fair thing for Christmas?

[Jew]

^Yup. Always thought that was a cool event. Lots of quirky stuff and its free Mon-Thurs.

[DJeXeL]

^^ Yes sir they are. Great place to get one-of-a-kind Xmas gifts.

How did your visit go? Anything worth reporting?

[jray21]

^^Good. I figured there was no way they would ever get rid of it, but I hadn't seen or heard anything about it this year.

[TheWoodenLover]

I'm going to the park on Wednesday, how busy is it? I'm also thinking about going on my first upside down coaster there, out of the three what one is the best? My biggest fear is passing out, is that possible?

It should be very quiet on Wednesday. For the first upside down coaster, you will not have any problems, trust me. I know how nervous it is, but you will not pass out and you will have a great time. I hope you'll have a good time on your first upside down coaster.

 

Also, Xcelerator is the best coaster at Knott's.

[thestripedtaco]

^^ Out of the three (Monte, Bullet, Boomerang) I would start on Montezuma's since it is just smooth and fun, not to mention a great classic. And since it is so short if you really hate it your gonna be off pretty darn fast.

[jray21]

It should be a really slow day, hopefully. I would definitely pick Montezuma's Revenge! It's pretty forceful, but there is only one loop, well two times, and it goes straight Silver Bullet would be my next choice. It's not as forceful, but it's lot longer, and has a lot more loops.

Is it scary going backwards?

[thestripedtaco]

^ I would say that it is not as scary as you might think. But again if it really terrifies you the ride is short enough where you won't be on it for very long. Plus it's not like the whole ride is backwards.

[XYZ]

Backwards is no different than going forwards except that you're traveling backwards. (If this makes sense. )
