General Chat / Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm

corkscrew did you buy your picture i think the prices where a tad bit high but i got just you know first time to ride type of thing. One more thing is that when i went their was absoulutey no line which was one of the most awsome things ever. Well once again im forced to say if your thinking of going GO NOW, unless the parks closed.

Did they repaint Montezooma's Revenge, or has it always been that color on the map? I'm not sure because I only have the blue and white monochromatic one..

Zoom was repainted from its traditional yellow track and black supports to green track and yellow supports about two or three years ago I believe. It's been green for a while.

Sparker, I didn't buy a pic. I'm not willing to shell out $12. It's my cheap Asianness... That and I didn't get any really really good poses (well, a couple were cool, but not REALLY buy worthy). The photo only takes up like a quarter of the thing you buy anyway.

are cactus and inverted coaster a good idea?

the ride looks awesome. wish id get a chance to ride it soon...
Maybe over the summer if i win the lottery

Yes I'm aware of that, I went to Knott's this summer. However, on the map on RCPro it is yellow and red..

Oh, I see what you mean. Never trust maps anyway. It's mostly yellow. Goes with the color scheme area better.

you gotta try the thumbs up pose works great especially on roller coasters it gets great pictures.

Heh... I had one pose where I'm pointing straight at the camera, kinda like "You're da man!" sort of a pose. Another one I'm shaking my fist like an old man telling the kids to get off the lawn. I have one where I bent my head so low it went off the camera, so it looks like I'm headless. Another one I was sleeping. And I think there was one where I was Superman.

But none of them turned out perfectly. Plus yeah... expensive.

You've also got to try the finger up pose, when 4 friends in the same row, all hit the camera perfect.. you just have to buy the photo.

^and corky it looks like you have your eyes closed, trying to find the handle on the OTSR with you right hand. You have no choice with the other arm because the guy next to you is restricting you.

Now i look again though, it doesnt look like your scared. I just felt like saying it anyway, up the post count
<----<<

Found a vid of it at americacoasters.com

The shots of the overbanked turn are sweet.
I definitley need to get on this next year.
The lake looks more like a giant puddle now...

albert went from ultra camera shy to striking poses?!?!

"What is this magick!?"


where has my shy little corky gone?

I've always been a camera whore on onride photos.

So where are the pictures Corky?

Whenever Westcoaster updates, I guess you'll see them. I'm just seeing if Jim uses any of mine so I don't have to upload them uselessly.

Saw the video. Looks extremely cool. Too bad all we have here is a Boomerang and a SLC Vekoma inverted. Oh well, 4 more years and I'll be on a coast-to-coast trip to the U.S.

Excellent night shots Corky. You took them right?

Yeah. I'll post some other ones sometime... maybe tonight or something.

BTW, the Westcoaster update was posted today.
