MY AWESOME TRiiP T0 KNOTTS BERRY FARM

*SORRY PLEASE CLOSE THE OTHER THREAD I HAVE LIKE THIS I ACCIDENTLY POSTED IT IN THE WRONG CATERGORY*

********************************************
me and 3 friends visited cedar fairs "knotts berry farm park' last saturday.

we arrived @ 10:10 and got in line for our tickets, right when we entered the park we ran to silver bullet. the line was a 10 - 15 min. wait. i have been to knotts at least 10 times before and my friends have never been to knotts. all of us have never rode silver bullet before. The theming in the front of the line is nice. We got on the ride and we got on the second to last seat. Nice ride but i expected more of a thrill.:-\ after that we headed to Montazoomas revenge, always a nice ride [shuttle loop] the line was empty. after we got on that we headed to the screamin' swing wow 5 bucks well spent nice ride. After the screamin swing we went to ghost rider, after waiting in line for such a long time the ride broke:-\ we waited but we just got out of line. We went to eat lunch at "coasters" by Xcelerator. After lunch we played some games and went on boomerang. I dont know if they added those head things on the shoulder harnest but it stil bangs your head. after boomerang we went to riptide. The line was roughly 45 min. and as its our turn we get buckled up and then the shoulder harnsets come flying up and they told us to exit the ride and back to the qeue line. The said they had a delay and we could choose to wait or not. we waited so we got back on the ride after 30 min of waiting, the platform goes down and the ride goes up. the platform goes up and the ride goes down the ride stopped again!! but only for one min. after we got on the ride. nice ride 199% better then the hammer head. So after that ride we went to ghost rider for another try. We were in line and i asked my friend to go get a drink and handed her 5 bucks. She quickly came back into the line. The knotts employ kicked us off the ride for "line hopping" i told him angrily about the other rides that broke on us. so after not riding ghost rider for not only a first but second time we head into jaguar! as we get in line we wait 10 min. and then through tthe loud speaker a lady says: were expierienceing technical difficulties" We begin to get angry so we leave the line and head to Xcellerator the line was a 60 min wait. we waited and got on the back of the train. the train moves backwards then launches, boy was that awesome that ride is AWES0ME! the launch is exhillerating! after Xcellerator we went to fiest village again and got on La Revolucion, nice! nice! nice! that ride is awesome. So we went to ghost rider yet again and this time we got on it. My favorite wooden ride its long and good. it may shake but thtas the fun part of it. So after we got on that we went to eat dinner at pizza palace. we ate and decided to get on ghost rider again so we waited another hour to get on it, after we got on that we got on montazoomas revenge again. To end our day we got on Silver bullet, 3 min wait. AWES0ME DAY! i lost my camera so i wasnt able to take pictures or develop the pictures i had taken. My mom picked us up at 11:00 in the passenger drop off/pick up area. Great day i enjoyed it! but i heard that if i call knotts and tell them about riptide breaking and ghost rider i wuld get free tickets idk ill have to try.....
please comment

patience is a virtue. . . I'd imagine if you'd waited out some of the breakdowns, you would have got several more rides in, in the long term, instead of walking back and forth across the park, getting out of lines without any rides. Anyway, sounds like you had a good time. Ghostrider is awesome, and I love it second only to Beast. Even though it is very highly rated, I was still suprised by how good it was. Definately one of the best coasters I've ever been on.

Uhhhhh.....you realize that your friend could have gotten all of you kicked out of the park for doing that. You're lucky that they only kicked you out of the line. In case you didn't know, it's called line jumping and it's not allowed at any park that I know of. Pretty much everyone on this site hates line jumpers, so don't do it again.

Glad you had a good time though, that sucks that Riptide was down, it's a great ride. I missed getting on Xcelerator becasue it rained all day when I was at KBF (I came during the stormy week in December).

^I went last December and the park wasn't very crowded, and I was able to get 3 rides on Xcelerator, and it was awesome everytime (2 rides in front, 1 in back). La Revolucion is also a cool ride, as is Montezooma's Revenge and Ghostrider. I too expected more from Silver Bullet. Glad you liked the park so much, next time you go, maybe the crowds won't be as bad.
