Great ride!!! Why couldnt they of made KingDaKa like this? Its pretty long for a launch coaster and is fairly smooth. The senery is nice but it needs A loop or an inversion like California screamin! Its pretty good though and would ride it over and over, so I'll give it a 9/10... - Mateo sams 9/10 great coaster, best in the park! lauch is awesome. and me and my friend think that its so awesome that we think its "delicious" - Corey Nelson I seriously love this ride! it is so fun. and yeah, its kind of short but the launch at the beginning is just awesome. Obviously, this is my favorite one in the park. =) - Chloe ! At first I was scared to go on this ride, but once I did, I loved it! You can find scarier, faster, taller rides, but this one will always we my favorite! - Kathryn Bonner There is no question of why; just why not. This ride is amazing, the first part making it all worthwhile. I don't care if it's only 30 seconds, it's incredible. I even bought the over-priced T-shirt just to show my appreciation. When you go to Knott's, ride this. Don't question (ps don't take back, better towards front or middle). - T.S. Stone This is the highlight of the park. It is an amazing rush and a great way to dry off. Although, it is only for those who know what they're getting into. Only problem, it's too short. - Jack Borgeson Xcelerator is the best coaster there! Xcelerator is way longer that Top Thrill Dragster. I think it is the best accelerator coaster in the world! - Sarah Meeks One of the most intense launched roller coasters in the western United States, but a bit on the short side. - AJ Hummel Great Launch. Pretty much anticlimatic after that though. - Nicholas Kalscheuer This is a good coaster. It starts off with a strong acceleration boost and then takes you straight up a long climb only to straight back down in a nice drop. The problem is that the whole thing lasts just over 20 seconds. Like all Knott's coasters, it's just too short to be considered truly great. But if you're at the park, this is easily one of their top attractions. - Joseph Boone Perfection. - Greg Shilton This is my favorite ride at Knotts. The height, speed, and airtime are great. And lewis bryces, the rides at Disneyland are kiddie rides - Marcos Raxtun Brandon -- you're right on with your assessment of this ride. I LOVE that launch, and the view from the tower is great, and so is the rest of it -- what little there is, I mean. And that's the problem. It just really needs to be twice as long for me to give this a top rating. Close but no cigar, but it IS certainly worth one ride per visit. - Paul Clemens This is a good coaster, with a sweet launch. The apex is a great section of the ride, as is the drop at the end... all of this happens too quickly though and the ride is over. Too short of a ride for me to consider a spectacular coaster. - Brandon Mendoza Cool ride the launch is amazing - Jason Kelly
