The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[Jerome]

Was at the park Thursday. Run into some people I follow from a facebook Knott's site and had a good time. The park was empty and it was a warm day for this time of the year. I love what they did to the log ride and I can't wait for the mine ride to be finished. For some reason they had a very very slow crew at supreme scream but the rest of the rides were quick to load.

Pony Express is getting repainted.

[GigaG]

Good thing I got to "credit whore" Gr8 Sk8! Is that a Jeff Johnson credit?

It's like they're purposely trying to repaint every coaster but Xcelerator.

[Jew]

^Just a hunch…but I suspect it is a bit easier to repaint pony express than it is Xcelerator.

[Vonni]

Ok, who is this Jeff Johnson I keep seeing so many references to lol?

[Guy T. Koepp]

^Jeff Johnson isn't the persons real name. The letters have been scrambled so that only a select few can identify him/her/it. You can always refer to the entity known to TPR as Jeff Johnson by it's other monicker.

All this talk of painting, it begs the question: When will xcelerator get her turn?

True but I think they are not repainting Xcelerator's track because they painted the supports a couple of years ago and Xcelerator doesn't look that bad.

Compared to the coasters up north(scream, viper ,riddlers) Xcelerator looks okay.

I know very little about Jeff Johnson. All I know is that he is old and has a very loose definition of a credit.

To some, Jeff Johnson is a myth. To others, a legend.

[Nrthwnd]

Also, Jeff Johnson is an enigma of sorts.

To some, Jeff Johnson is a myth. To others, a legend.

 

And to others he is the last living proof that dinosaurs existed.

Were dinosaurs the first XTREME THRILL RIDE?

[JeromyL]

^^^--load time was probably good. No seatbelts (thanks CAL OSHA)

Some say that he once counted Colossus as 4 credits and that he once added Splash Mountain to his coaster-count, all we know is he's called the Jeff Johnson.

I think what it comes down to is logistics: there's no easy way to do it without spending lots and/or shutting the ride down.

Very well played.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I love all the stuff they are doing!

 

Also, I think there was a Jeff Johnson sighting just last week!

 

[Wes]

^ WTF?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

^Someone asked who Jeff was, so people were talking about him. I just posted a picture. Its totally unrelated to Knotts, lol.
