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

This ride is a B&M Inverted Coaster. It is probably the best coaster at Knott's but is nowhere near the intensity that can be found on similar rides at the Six Flags parks. - AJ Hummel

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. - Kyawt Tin

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

Fun ride. One of my favorites. - Chloe !

Silver Bullet is an OK invert (frankly, I think Dorney's Talon is a better ride) that meanders when it should haul--but it just seems so out of place at Knott's. Maybe if they had put it toward the back of the park instead of right up front? As it stands now, it hurts the atmosphere of Ghost Town. - Chuck Campbell
