Knotts Berry Farm Update.

 

The park was VERY crowded today with most lines at least 40 mins. But their were some lines well Past 40 mins. Over all it was a good day with all the crews except Jaguar doing a good job at getting people through the lines fast.

 

Now onto the pictures.

 

Sierra Sidewinder Construction as of (4-6-07)

 

 

Keep up the good work!

 

 

From the looks of it, this ride may interact with water!

 

 

The New View from Silver Bullet

 

 

Insert lift here.

 

 

The Train will pass throgh here

 

 

Bottom of the lift waiting to be installed.

 

 

Track close up

 

 

Moving On

 

Rides Closed.

 

 

Log Ride

 

Not much activity. But from the looks of it, this ride will be down for a while.

 

 

Perilous Plunge

 

I looks like they are replacing the chain an a gear to the ride.

 

 

Crowds, Crowds, and Crowds.

 

It was so crowded today that Jaguar filled up the bottom part of the Q line. Ghost riders line was half way to the entrance. Bigfoot had a hour wait and the roof to the Q line is almost completely done. Boomerang had a 45min wait. And almost all the flat rides had a nice size wait.

 

But on the other hand Supreme Scream was running all three towers (something I have NEVER seen!) and had a 5 min wait! Xcelerator's crew was dispatching trains at about every minute and a half! Silver Bullet had a 25 min wait for most of the day and Montazooma had about a 15 min wait.

 

Jaguar!

 

 

Just look at that LINE!!!

 

 

Boomerang.

 

 

Bigfoot

 

 

Other Rides

 

 

Supreme Scream

 

 

Three towers running!!

 

 

Over all Park Activity

 

Silver Bullet.

 

Silver Bullet has received shade over the transfer track.

 

 

A midway game station is in rehab.

 

 

Camp Snoopy is now Snoopys Spring Safari

 

 

Craft are on sell in Ghost Town.

 

 

Now I leave you with Xcelerator Launching in to the sun.

 

 

Thank you for looking at my update and I hope that you enjoyed it.

^That last photo of Xcellerator is awesome.

[Top Thrill Dragster]

I know!! Thanks.

[socalMAN123]

Thanks for the update! I also enjoy that last picture of Xcelerator, it's awesome! I know I'm an idiot, but is this supposed to open this year? Because on the press release it says next spring.

Nice photos!

 

BTW What makes you think it will interact with water, Im just a bit curious

[Top Thrill Dragster]

The concrete wall and how that area is dug into the ground.

[rclay2003]

This may have been asked already, but is this going to be a spinning wild mouse?? If so, I rode Spinning Dragons at WOF last summer and it was great! It looked tame from the Queue, but the ride experience was alot more intense than I thought it would be.

[arrowfanman]

^ If I'm not mistaken, the ride will be unlike a wild mouse in that it will have actual "trains", rather than simply "cars", if you will.

 

 

 

Thanks for the update Top Thrill! I loved that Xcelerator picture! I also agree that the concrete wall thing suggests there will be some water beneath the ride. Some, at least. That top lift piece, that looks unaligned, looks very weird to me.

^^ It's going to have Euro-Mir style trains and have a twisted layout, unlike a mouse that has lots of "zig zag" turns.

Just commenting on how I was by seeing Supreme Scream three towers working at Knott's. I was there about 2 weeks ago and it was a pleasant surprise seeing all three towers up and running.

[Crazy4Coasters!]

I checked on screamscape today and there's progress on the coaster. Check out the pictures... These pictures are from Bear-yTales.net

[Théo the little french]

It looks a great, funny ride!!

[socalMAN123]

Wow, this coaster is going up VERY quickly! I can't wait to ride it this summer.

---Brent

[coasterbadboy]

Went to Knott's at lunch today. All the track has been installed! (Don't know if the actual track in the station is in, but the main coaster is done.) It's WAY curvy! I like. (Sorry, no pics.)

[Top Thrill Dragster]

Hello everyone, just got back from a great day at Knotts and I am happy to say that Sierra Sidewinder is now 99% done with track work. They are well under way with the station and the ride should begin testing soon! Now onto the pictures!

 

Sierra Sidewinder Construction as of 4-29-07

 

It looks like Knotts has a real winner on its hands!!

 

 

 

I just love how twisted this thing is!!!!

 

 

The station

 

 

Ride Closures.

 

 

According to Knotts web site Perilous Plunge will be down until the 26th.

And Log Ride is expected to re open this week!! Also Montezooma's Revenge is in its yearly rehab.

 

 

GhostRider is currently testing a boarding pass system (like at SFMM) and I think that this a great idea to help cut down on line jumpers during the summer.

 

 

That pretty much sums up whats going on at Knotts. Thank you for looking at my update!

[Top Thrill Dragster]

Thanks I am glad that you enjoyed my pictures!

[knottslover77]

It looks amazing,that helix looks insane. Great photos by the way.

 

--Jay

[KrazyT]

Great Update. This coaster looks very twisted. And that helix looks insane. I also think Xcelerator could use a paint job.

[dino]

Great pictures. This coaster is looking pretty sexy with all those curves .

[IwantRevenge]

get ready for antoher supid question only I can ask: Will the trians be free spinning of be controled like on Eruo mir?

[Top Thrill Dragster]

^Free Spinning.

[dino]

/\ /\ I don't think that was a stupid question, cause actually I was going to ask the same thing .
