Knott's Trip report

Well, hello all. As you probably have known, I went to KBF yesterday. I have decided to do a trip report for my wonderful visit yesterday.
The first thing we did was walk into the park, right under Silver Bullet's cobra roll. Lemme tell you, Silver Bullet is the smoothest coaster you are ever gonna go on in your entire life. If there is nobody in the train, and it's right above you, you can't hear a thing except for a very quiet humming sound. As we made our way into the entrance of Silver Bullet, I saw Xcelerator fly over the crest. I would ride this later in the day. As the lady let us into the part where you wait for your seat, my friends and I made a beeline for the front seat. As my friend informed me, the front seat pulls the most g-foces he had ever seen on a coaster. As the trains made their ways along the track, the operator talked to us with his headseat getting us anticipated for the coaster we were about to expierence. As our train moved into the station, I removed my shoes and ran to the convienently placed cubby holes to hoold my hat and shoes. I ran back to the left middle seat and pulled down the shoulder strap. The operators went up and down the aisles of cars checking our straps. Those two precious words got us moving out onto the chain lift. "Check. Dispatch." Check my ride review coming soon to the roller coasters forum section. After the first ride on Silver Bullet, we ran back into line and rode it again. Our second Bullet expierence was followed by a ride on Ghostrider. After a short breakdown, and everybody leaving the line, we got on it no problem. And if you ever have ridden in the back car, you probably know it hurts like your a kernel of popcorn being tossed around in the bag. For those who haven't, I highly recommend it. After being tossed like little peanut shells, we slowly slid our feet over to Montezuma's Revenge. This 60 m.p.h. launch coaster is still one of my favorites. From there I forgot what we did, so I'll hopefully remember and finish this topic later. Thank you, and read my ride review of the Silver Bullet in the roller coasters section.

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun! I wish I could have been there!

so on Silver Bullet, how was that turn after the loop? what was you favorite part of the ride?

My favorite part had to be the helix. That turn was insane. If you sit on the left side, you are upside down. I consider it an inversion.
