I feel like I just got out of swimming in a pool with too much chlorine

I thought my glasses were dirty!

 

Great to get a look at how this is coming along. Think the new trains should be arriving soon?

Knott's has just confirmed that May 27th will be the re-opening date for Ghostrider.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

LOL, someone needs to clean their camera lens!

 

Today, Knott's network had posted an even more dreamy picture!

Since they're that close, they should also tear down Boomerang.

Someone give the CAT driver a Benji and tell him to "accidentally" run into the supports.

They better get cracking if they want to make that date. The wood work is mostly done, but there still aren't rails installed on most of the course yet.

lol my lens were dirty, I realized it afterwards. Plus it was cloudy and rained later in the day so not much sunlight.

 

it drizzled from around 3 pm or so then the last hour of the day it was coming down and I bought my first ever poncho. Only $2 compared to MM's $7 or whatever it cost. I was shocked it was only $2. Great Deal.

Considering the work they've done over the last 5 months, I have no doubts that they will make that date (in 3 months).

 

I can't wait to experience GhostRider in its good days. It could very well rank up there with Twisted Colossus if it's as good as everybody raves about!

To be super honest... even at it's peak, it never had the kind of airtime TC does. But, it was very very fun.

[Jew]

I disagree on that one. I would rank good GhostRider above Twisted Colossus.

May 27th is a good date indeed.

Went by the park last night and took a good long look at GhostRider (sorry, no photos). I think we're going to be very surprised by the subtle (and radical changes) GCI has made, especially with the banking they've added to a lot of the higher speed turns. The soft opening for this thing can't come soon enough for me. I can't wait to see how the new trains maintain their speed throughout the course and re-deliver some much needed airtime to this coaster.

[DBJ]

I am glad there is an opening date announced. Ghostrider in it's early years by far was my favorite coaster in the area. It will be great to have that be true again hopefully. Knott's has been doing great with their restorations.

[laqueefa]

I cannot wait to ride Ghost Rider with no brake run!

Xcelerator got stuck on the top hat for a couple hours today. It had come down by the time I got there, but I guess the wind and cold and moisture during morning testing got the best of it. A big gust gave it enough of a jolt to knock it off balance so it could come back. I got sent a video Snap Chat, but couldn't save it and the picture doesn't really let you see what's happening.

 

About a month old now, but for everyone's viewing pleasure.

I apologize if this was ever posted but I went through each page and didn't see it.

video removed?

[coasterbill]

Yeah I'm thinking a staff member posted it who probably thought better of it when it started blowing up the internet. Everyone was posting it last night. lol

[Wingwright]

Is anyone going to the 2016 Coaster Run this Sunday? It will be my first time attending.

Unfortunately, it looks like it might rain but that won't get in the way of me and a free slice of Boysenberry pie.

 

Good luck to anyone participating!

Wow, I had no idea this was the vision for Knott's Berry Farm before Cedar Fair bought it.

WOW. That is really cool! I have never seen those pictures before. Very interesting to think about what the property would look like today if this had become a reality.

What is the Coaster run?
