Also, why don't we have a sub-forum/thread for "Knotts Scary Farm"? We really should separate the daytime park with the haunt event like we do with HHN... just sayin.
I agree.

Well...about 4.5 hours before the announcement!
Start one!
Any ideas what it would be? Probably not some sort of massive coaster I assume.
Knott’s Berry Farm will welcome HangTime, a brand new steel rollercoaster - and the only dive coaster on the West Coast - to the theme park during the 2018 summer season. HangTime will tower 150 feet over the Boardwalk area, showcasing gravity-defying inversions, mid-air suspensions and twisting dive tracks.
HangTime will send riders up a vertical lift hill into a raised 96-degree drop - the steepest drop in California. The coaster’s train will come to a halt once the highest peak is reached, and will leave riders suspended at the crest for several seconds at a 60-degree angle, giving the illusion of a disappearing track. Then the train will suddenly descend in a beyond-vertical drop, through 2,198 feet of steel track and five gravity-defying inversions. HangTime will be only the second rollercoaster in the Western Hemisphere to feature a negative-g stall loop, which gives riders the sensation of floating.
HangTime’s ride structure itself will come to life and illuminate the Boardwalk area with colorful nighttime track chase lighting that will accompany the coaster train’s travels across the smooth steel track. The coaster continues Knott’s legacy in rollercoaster innovation and industry firsts; the park introduced the very first corkscrew inversion rollercoaster with Corkscrew, and the first flywheel launch coaster with Montezuma’s Revenge.
Guests can experience an entire season of fun including the thrill of HangTime with a 2018 Knott’s Season Pass, on sale now at the best price of the year. A Regular Season Pass includes unlimited admission in 2018 to Knott’s Berry Farm with no blackout dates, and a Gold Season Pass includes unlimited admission in 2018 to both Knott’s Berry Farm and the newly expanded Knott’s Soak City Waterpark with no blackout dates.
Well..members did.
Knott's Scary Farm
I will mention, that perhaps it'd be a good idea to put up sections for Knotts and Magic Mountain, similar to what is done for SeaWorld on the Orlando Side; to differentiate it as those two are big for SoCal.
Oh, and notice that there seems to be a lot of space at the back of that plot. Are they saving that for a flat or two?
Yeah, it's a bit shorter than I would want it to be. I really hope they're saving up for something big for the park's 100th in 2020.Thats what I was wondering too. I was hoping the coaster would basically do a air time hill after the cobra roll, maybe a helix or a turn around in the open plot, maybe a splash pool?
I was also hoping for some minimal rock work like the CGA Raptor coaster, but oh well.
Excited for the double down into then cobra roll and the Stall element.

I'm not mad about it, but it's just that it's…..(Skip to :26)I don't feel one way or the other about the holding brake, but the GP totally loves watching it.
I'd rather have had the verticle lift that has the drop tower effect before cresting the hill for the beyond vertical drop like the built at Hansa Park.
