Knotts Berry Farm | Coast Rider | Mack Wild Mouse

[Hyde]

I believe the slight alteration is the large first drop, just as we have found on other "large park" Mack wild mouses.

But that large (r) first drop is a part of that standard model...

^ I was imagining the "large first drop" model to the traditional wild mouse model.

So this,

Compared to this,

You can see from the supports put up over at Westcoaster's latest KBF update that it has the large drop.

Seems like they're getting it up in a hurry...

 

[rollermonkey]

No excuse not to. It's not like it's a hyper or something big.

 

[furie]

LOL - love the subtle dig there

 

[tomahawk]

Come on now, it's not like Knott's is a park that should get a big ride though. We can't make fun of Knott's because like Taylor and Canada, it should NEVER be made fun of.

You're welcome, Señor Furie.

WOW!!
This looks like the best ride ever!

Of all the new rides for 2013; Outlaw Run, Full Throttle, The Smiler, Iron Rattler, Gatekeeper.... They all look shoddy and uninspiring compared to this future gem. They are making splendid use of this space.... a scrambler and a wild mouse???
They should put their prices up!

What is the point of posting that image? Were you genuinely confused by the tone of the post?

"Oh but its the internet, I can't tell for sure if they are being sarcastic or not" :roll:

 

[Wildmouse695]

Didn't think I would have to spell it out....

Seriously though, what disappointing additions. It's not like they need more average family rides, lets face it the park is already full of those and many more are available just down the road at Disney. I think they really missed a trick by not having a big ride like a Leviathon or a Gatekeeper.

Couple of things:

1. You have 11 posts. As a website newcomer, your sarcasm was not detected, due to lack of a previous profile to go off of.

2. Where, precisely, would they fit a Leviathon or Gatekeeper?

The car park, but the park is so badly laid out they probably could not even use that.

1: I clearly saw it as sarcasm, I thought that was rather obvious.

2: Wasn't there a discussion a while back saying that Leviathan's layout is a little funky for Canada's Wonderland because it was originally planned for and supposed to go to Knotts...

I believe it was in the Leviathan construction thread or maybe a "Knott's Giga rumor" thread?

 

[marc]

Yep that was ages ago, people even said markers were put on the ground.

 

[Youngster Joey]

^Thank you marc for proving i'm not totally crazy.

Still, Mack do make some of the best non-spinning wild mice so it could be worse...

 

[marc]

What ever way people dress this up its still a glorified mouse coaster that if a park like sfmm were getting it people would laugh.
