Xmeister Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Talk about an exciting day! I love the look of this coaster! It is absolute eye candy! Did they mention anything about the fate of Sky Cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Of Spades Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just got back from an awesome Midwest coaster trip, and constantly found myself thinking, "Now if only California had something even close to as good". Sure enough, based Knott's delivered. Absolutely, absolutely cannot wait to ride this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is absolutely perfect for Knott's! I love it! The color scheme and lighting package look brilliant and should definitely liven up that area so much in day and night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 HangTime’s ride structure itself will come to life and illuminate the Boardwalk area with colorful nighttime track chase lighting that will accompany the coaster train’s travels across the smooth steel track. I'm a huge sucker for great lighting packages and love that Monster and Hydrus have these chaser/running lights, they look amazing, so I think its very cool that this one will as well. Do we know if this has lapbars? Sorry if I missed that. Oh man, I don't know how I missed that! I'm the same, makes this announcement even better! The new picture Robb uploaded is of a close-up of the train. It's depicted with lap bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqueefa Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) What an awesome addition to Knotts! WCB 2018 is going to have some new hotness! Edited August 17, 2017 by laqueefa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Definitely a great addition! I've ridden Monster and it is fantastic so you West Coast enthusiasts are in for a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut It Down Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Well I was wrong about 200 feet, but right about the Gerstlauer Infinty!! Looks great, I'm excited to ride this next year!! Huge improvement over boomerang!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 All of the signs pointed to this exactly! What a cool coaster! I actually envisioned a logo that was basically the same as what they released, knowing it would be called HangTime and have a surfing theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsBerryMountain Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The Sky Tower won't be removed and should reopen in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BintamiM Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It looks good. Not sure how the surroundings will look and the slope on the first drop looks weird. Nonetheless it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Awesome! It's pretty close to what I was hoping Knotts was going to get, and it looks really freaking good. Can't wait to ride this thing next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyle23 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Looks cool. Any idea on the capacity of this ride? Is it like Xcelerator where the next train can't go until it finishes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshfreund Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Ummm...wheres the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Looks cool. Any idea on the capacity of this ride? Is it like Xcelerator where the next train can't go until it finishes? I imagine the cars can be dispatched as soon as the other train clears the drop. By the time a car reaches the top of the lift and hits the holding brake, the train in front of it will have cleared the brake run. I'm pretty confident this will have a better throughput than most other rides in the park, minus Silver Bullet and Montezooma. I am very curious if Cedar Fair will add seat belts under those Gerstlauer lap bars. If not, capacity could be quite good actually. But slow operations and seat belts would make it no better than GhostRider or Xcelerator. We'll have to see! It looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is an amazing addition to the park.This was my home park when I was growing up and I went there every year from 1989 to 1997 when I was younger. I've seen this park go through insane transition periods with rides and themed areas and I really love what direction Knott's is headed in and I think this ride offers a great experience for people on the West Coast that have no idea what the hell a Dive Coaster is. Even though the picture rendering may not be the high quality like the other announcements today, I still think it's great to see the elements this ride will offer and the great color scheme. Plus, being a former surfer when I lived in Cali, I 100% approve of this ride's theming and name. I also love that they placed a thrill seeker ride next to some other family rides so if someone from the Family wants to go on a thrilling ride, the rest of the family can enjoy some of the other not as thrilling rides. The unfortunate thing is that we will be visiting both Knott's and Sea World San Diego in a couple months and these rides won't come till next year. Oh well, just means we shall have to come back to Cali.

CoasterAuditor Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Excited to see the 2nd Infinity Coaster in the US going up! Also does anyone else find it amusing how in the announcement the guy kept comparing it to a coaster in Georgia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm late here. Just got back from the movies. But first. And that "Holding break at 60 degrees"......? Looking forward to riding it in 2019. (my next visit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeoplemoverMatt Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Looks like a really fun coaster coming our way next year! I'll be excited to ride it. It'll surely make for a better ride than a painful old Vekoma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Now THAT will get me back to Knott's when I'm visiting my brother in LA in the future!!! Great addition for Knott's, and to echo pretty much everybody's sentiments, Cedar Fair just KILLED IT with their 2018 additions overall! I even think the Superloop for Valleyfair was a solid move. Now, just waiting for the announcement about the new massaging park bench for MiA next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
