Looks amazing! The boysenberry meatballs were my favorite item last year, so I can't wait to try all the new stuff this year. Thanks for sharing!

Now this is a trip report! Boysenberry EVERYTHING!!!!

OMG I'm so hungry.

 

 

Awesome report, thanks for sharing!

What would you say is the best day to attend the festival?

Note to self: Put Boysenberry Festival on Bucket List ASAP!

 

Great report, and oooooooooh that fooooooood. Yum.

Long Live the Boysenberry!

According to a report from California Coaster Kings, Sol Spin is completely assembled.

Cool! Anybody know when it'll open? I'm planning on going in the next week or two to check out the Boysenberry Festival and get a ride on Boomerang before it closes.

I'm really hoping it opens during the festival, but I'd be happy with late April / early May as well. I'm almost certain it will open before Memorial Day.

 

It appears they just have to touch up the ride loading area (gates, maybe grass or flowers) and get the ride's operating system all set up. Luckily the queue is ready to go since it was formerly Windseeker's, so that saves a step. I've said it way too much, but I'm thrilled to get on this thing, especially since it's a "supersized" version!

I've never been in town for the Boysenberry Festival, but I do love Boysenberry goodies--especially the pie and ice cream. Not sure about the pizza, but I'd give the wings a shot.

Boysenberry everything. I don't think I've ever wanted anything more. I -have- to get there next year.

The wings are actually really good, the Boysenberry BBQ sauce is the right combination of sweet & spicy. They put the BBQ sauce on the meatballs as well, so those are also very tasty!

I'll never understand the universal love for boysenberry *runs and hides*

The BBQ sauce does sound good.

^This! And tons more this!

It's okay if you don't love boysenberry. Boysenberry still loves you.

Going to be at Knott's Tuesday solo if anyone else is going to be there and wants to eat around the festival, pm me.

Park was busy on Friday so I guess spring break crowds are here. All of the coasters had 30 - 85 min waits. I took a few photos, walked around, and left.

Some Knott's auction items. An old slot machine went for $38,240.

That boomerang car is awesome, would think that would go for more.

The looks I'd get if I put that in my living room when I have guests over

 

I agree, I would have thought that would have gone for more.

From the time the Containers for Samurai at Lagoon arrived, it was assembled, tested, and opened to the public in 3 days. Would have been 2.5, but there was an "oopsie" on Lagoon's part. It only took half a day to assemble the platform, base, boom, and radial arm.

^Hi Sid,

 

Isn't Lagoon's version a portable one? I believe this one is a permanent installment that is bolted to the ground.

 

I could be wrong, afterall, I'm an idiot.

Hey Guy! You are not an idiot in the slightest, contrary to what you may want people to believe at times. lol Lagoon's is a Park Model, and even those then were built on basically a Trailer Chassis that is not a Trailer, as a Base. I think that changed with Everland's Top Scan and may be a Permanent Mount, opposed to Park Model, as it has a concrete platform as well. Knott's Top Scan is the first higher capacity version (36 vs. 30) and what is bolted to the Windseeker Footing/Foundation is pretty much what looks like the same part on Samurai that the boom mounts to, but on the Trailer-ish Chassis Base. Can't wait to hear the DC Motor (At least I hope it's a DC not AC) on this Larger Model.

I would think the main problem would be storage. Where would the average person keep an item like that?

As stated previously, living room. Definitely living room.
