Knott's Sierra Sidewinder

[coolbeans326]

First things first.
Apparently the original thread was deleted as I can't seem to locate it it, so I shall re-post all the information that has already been given.

Re-Cap
Several Months Back Scream Scape had received a photo of the layout that this ride will have.

Since then, mention of the ride has appeared on the Mack site itself, as well as an official press release from a theme park related magazine.

Though it wasn't until late last month that Knotts finally released the information (Adobe acrobat required for last link) from their [url=ww.knotts.com:]site[/url]

The walls have been up since before Halloween Haunt, and it hasn't been till recently that any extensive ammount of work has really seemed to take place. Stand by as we bring you more updates.

I wait till the weekday to go down myself.

I went today to Knotts. Sierra Sidewinder wasnt open for like the first hour, so my friend and I rode Xcellerator about 3 times front row (amazing, never gets old) then cruised back over to SS. The line was a good 2 hours or maybe even more. They only had one train running, having a capacity of what im guessing to be about 500 people per hour. It was way too intense of a line... but that just means that Ghostrider was shorter! After getting the shiz beat out of me on Ghostrider (man that thing has gotten rough, in a good/painful way) we went back over to SS and the line was even longer than before.

So in the end, I didnt get to ride it. I watched it for a while and wasnt to amped about riding it anyway. Pretty slow and the cars werent really spinning too much either.

By the way... what the heck happened to the Dinosaur ride? That was my favorite and now its some Lazer Tag thing.... bummer.
