Kbf 2/10

[Xtreme Descent]

Today I was at Knott's from opening to 3. The park was dead in the morning, so I got on everything I wanted to, then towards 12:30-1 it started getting packed! Silver Bullet was only running one train so the line was all the way down the stairs and towards the entrance, and Perilous Plunge had a pretty long line, too. Xcelerator had a short line all day, it never left the station! It was running two trains.

EDIT: I fixed the images so they're no longer thumbnails.

This was when I was leaving the park.

While I was in line for the Log Ride, I saw a basketball in the waterfall!

I rode Boomerang while waiting for Perilous Plunge to open up because it had no line and I was starting to get bored.

This was my first time on Riptide. It wasn't as fun as I expected it to be, and I didn't get wet at all either!

I didn't ride Sierra Sidewinder at all today. The line was too long.

I got soaked! :w00t: It was really fun, and refreshing in the hot weather. Too bad I only got to ride it once.

And to finish off the day, I took a ride on the railroad. This picture was taken towards the end of the ride.

Thanks for reading! :smile:

Sounds like fun! Sucks you have to deal with lines though... (Blah!) Oh well, no matter what Knotts is always good fun!!

[Xtreme Descent]

Yeah, the lines were great up until around noon. I always have a great time when I go to Knott's! :biggrin: I think I'll be back sometime next month, too. I can't wait to see how much of Pony Express is done then!

[coastermatt]

I was supposed to go today...friends bailed out on me...

[thedeadfrog]

@ last picture: You stole my angle!

Sounds like fun, makes me excited for Solace.

[ArrowOwnzU]

You and about a million other people, myself included have taken that same shot.

[Nate]

You mean shots like this: http://www.coasterdom.com/gallery/image.php?d=/Knott's+Berry+Farm/Silver+Bullet&p=sb28

[Xtreme Descent]

I didn't know that was such a common shot. I guess I'll have to look for something more unique on my next visit. :tongue:

[ArrowOwnzU]

Good luck. Everything has been done.

[Michael]

Good luck. Everything has been done.

I highly doubt that :tongue:

Part of photography is getting a unique angle, and there are ALWAYS new ways to get them. I certainly saw a couple ones I had never seen.

Good update! :smile:

[MaverickManJZ]

That's what makes going to KI fun for me. Trying to find photos I haven't taken before xD!

[Xtreme Descent]

Yeah, its always fun trying to find new angles of different elements on the coasters. And with Pony Express coming soon, there'll be even more photo opportunities to find! Thanks for the comments guys! :smile:

EDIT: Just in case you guys want to see more of my Knott's pics, I have about 100 on my user galleries.
