Readers' Opinions
A good inversion coaster but the placement is horrendous, it destroys Reflection Lake and takes away from the Ghost Town theming. It drowns out the Native American dance show which is right next door. There's plenty of room in the back of the park for this coaster. - Julia Xia 8/10 Some people think its forceless or whatever, but i thinkk its quite intense. also pretty smooth. afterwards my friend Timothy threw up in his smoothie!!! so he hates SB now unfortunately... more for me and christian! - Corey Nelson This ride is pretty fun. But its not my favorite. There are some better coasters in the park. - Chloe ! Its a fun coaster that will make your head spin(in a good way) but may give you a headache. 8 - Kathryn Bonner This is the best coaster at the park besides Xcelerator. I absolutely love this ride! - Sarah Meeks Good for a ride that ruined Knotts. - Nicholas Kalscheuer Smooth ride, with many inversions, seems shorter than it is but lots of fun. Even my 6 yr old son loves it. - Traci Born When I was 8 (about 5 years ago), this was the first BIG roller coaster I had ever been on. Very thrilling, yet slightly headbanging. - Jack Borgeson Mostly smooth, and fairly intense. Since I'm rather tall (6'4") I like to comment specifically on how the ride treats us tall guys. The upper bar (that swings down over your head and braces your chest) pressed down my shoulders just a little, but it's padded and was not that bad. If you're 6'6" then it might be a different story, depending on your hips-to-shoulders height. Believe me, I've been on a coaster or two (e.g. Magic Mountain's Viper) where the bar pressed down on my shoulders so hard that I had to scrunch my butt down in the seat, which meant that I could not keep my back straight. Ouch. But Silver Bullet does NOT have that problem. Also, the dangling-feet aspect is a real plus for the tall crowd--no tiny carriage keeping your legs crunched in. - Steve Alter I dont like multiple inversions, which is why it only gets a Good rating from me. Its too Six Flags for me. sry - Sarah E Not the highest or fastest or most intense inverter out there, but nevertheless a perfect fit for this largely family-friendly park. Once again Bolliger & Mabillard have crafted an ultra-smooth, exhilarating, and most of all, FUN ride. And because it's not as intense as some, it has a great re-rideability factor. I rode it several times in one day and could have ridden it several more. And that final helix over the water packs a bigger punch than you'd be led to expect based on what comes before. It's the clear highlight of the ride and the perfect finish to make you wanna jump right back on for another go! - Paul Clemens The ride is amazing. It's not the highest, but the first drop is unusual followed by a very smooth high loop. The elements are quite amazing. I love the part when it passes above the pond. However, I don't like the location of the ride. It's right in front of the main entrance. Maybe it's much better to be put in the Ghost Town area? - Adriel Tjokrosaputro
