COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION! As of 3-22-2007 This is up on the green wall that surrounds the consrtuction area They have the area totally blocked off Big crane Twisty! Overview. And there is a vary large hole in the ground near the train station. Lokks like there will be water. I may post some more net week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraxleRIDAH Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The colors on this ride looks good, and is very fitting for the area -- thankfully the park chose the colors wisely so that it won't clash with its surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Colors look a lot better when erected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Those pics look sweet. I think that if this is gonna be a family oriented coaster instead of for thrills, it'll be awesome going through trees and the landscape. I have to give props to KBF.

dr.gumbo Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Woah! Looks more banked than I expected Im a bit dissapointed there not doing it to Euromirs style but I hope this will prove me wrong. (Knotts will proberbly screw it up somehow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 In the graphic on the first picture the ride seems to twist around a mountain of some sort. Does anybody know if Knott's is planning on building a mountain for this ride to go around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowHater Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Aha it looks like a another spinning dragons but a more longer track and longer trains.LOL Can't wait to ride it!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 ^^ From all the concept art I have seen there was never a mountain of any notable size that I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 That's what I thought. It seems odd to me that they would so prominently show it twisting around a mountain and through the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 ^ I don't think it was anything more than just to spruce up the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vedved82491 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I think it looks amazing once the coaster actually went vertical. It may be a family coaster, but I think it will be a fun ride for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Looking pretty good! I do like the colors, and I do hope there will be a mountain, that would be sweeeeeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Mmmm, I'm loving those colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 WOW! It looks a whole lot better now that it is off the ground. Oh and Guy, the ride would go up many points in my book if they added a mountain. But of course, knowing Knott's, it's never gonna happen. Thanks for the pics! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It would be great if it had water where it is thought to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Remember Perilous Plunge and the oil derrick it was supposed to have in the theming. Sierra Sidewinder = ditto. I'm still not crazy about the colors. It's about the same color scheme that Jaguar! had when it was new---red track on light brown supports. Works for the area, though, honestly, a green track would have looked better, or green supports with brown/tan track. Eh, I'll ride it anyway.

Guy T. Koepp Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I just hope they at least fill it in with trees. I realy am starting to get bored with Knott's midway coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Remember Perilous Plunge and the oil derrick it was supposed to have in the theming. Sierra Sidewinder = ditto. Eric That's kind of different. In the press release announcement for Perilous Plunge, the 90-foot oil derrick prop was supposed to be one of the highlighting points of the ride, as the boats shoot through it down the drop. With Sierra Sidewinder, there was absolutely no mention of a faux mountain/hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 The track looks OK vertical. I look foreword to riding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrewed Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's about time this thing went erect (go ahead and laugh, boys). It'll definitely be a fun ride, but I'm interested in how they theme it. Looks groovy so far, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP_RULES Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Has this still not been officially released yet or something because I cant seem to find anything on the ride at Knott's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
