The Zamperla design places riders on one of 16 "horses," which launch from zero to 38 mph in three seconds. The old west-themed coaster will take riders through a series of banked turns and hills over a 1,300-foot track.
Since you're riding a horse, don't expect inversions and other high-tech elements. But the theming on this one seems strong and it certainly sounds like a unique experience, one that should fit in well in this part of Knott's.
I think that the "horse" theming is very much in keeping with Knotts and I wish it well.
I like to ride the odd coaster or two but theme parks aren't just about thrill rides are they ?
I agree with the contributor who said that they thought the sightlines at Knotts had been compromised by ugly steel coasters. I liked to go there and immerse myself in it's Western theming.
They are obviously reacting to falling attendances by reducing high peak admission prices but I don't subscribe to this " kick-em-while -they're down" attitide.
I want Knotts to be there for me when I want to visit and I, for one, wish them every success with any initiative to keep their Park alive.
