My trip to Knott's Berry farm...

Alright, here is my trip report for Knott's. First thing I did is Go to Silver Bullet. The line was about a 30 min wait. Then when i was waiting in line i saw that theres a cannon thats shoots water at the rider under the helix. So i thought it was pretty cool. Then i sat in the back and when you are going threw the helix, the water barily missis you! After that i went Xcelerator. Sat in the 3rd row. After that i went over to riptide,but it was closed. Then later in the day i just went to some other rides like Ghostrider & Supreme Scream. I had lots of fun!!!

glad to hear you had fun. can you rate the rides and tell us what you thought of them. you might want to read some other TR's to get an idea. on a side note: your signature says your top 5 coasters and it says "TTD - 0". does that mean you did not ride it yet but it is in your top 5? then wouldnt KK be ahead of it? just wondering. atleast you like the Eagles!

It's meant to resemble strip mining equipment, more particularly the hydraulic nozzles and it shoots water towards the helix. It does not get you wet, the train misses the "line of fire".....errr...make that "line of water"; all the times I rode Saturday I barely noticed it while actually on the ride. While I think it is a really cool theming touch, I think somewhere near the ride they need to put a sign explaining what the purpose of such a water cannon in strip mining is, with a picture, so people will know what it's supposed to represent.
