Knott's 2011 PTR

[faeriewench]

I was at Knott's for most of the week and I traveled out there alone for the first time -,- A Knott's scareactor and his gf gave me a place to stay during my visit and I got to spent a full day at the park along with another friend from there. (Haunt was the main reason I went). Overall, the trip was awesome. Getting to see some friends and made all new ones too. During the day it was really really quiet, every ride I did were pretty much walk-on, including WindSeeker!

For the Haunt..it was AWESOME. I was actually amazed at the energy the scareactors all over had considering its so late in the season and they work a far more hectic schedule. My favorite having to be Endgames, it was loud, and full of energy and scareactors really heavy into their roles. Doll Factory while good, I can tell its seen its better days and time for it to be laid to rest. :/ The scare zones talent were on top of their game as well and sadly a few know too much of my weaknesses so I had multiple vampires in Necropolis chasing me all at once me getting scared to the point of taking off running says a lot considering its very hard to do. It was also good seeing some friends I don't get to see often and plus made plenty of new ones. now I wanna go back to Cali..I actually got accustomed to their weather >.>

Gah, if I had the money, I'd have joined ya on your Knott's trip; Lord knows I would have loved every minute of it. And yeah, this is Doll Factory's last year...

[faeriewench]

You really would have enjoyed it RingMaster...I was traveling there on a smaller budget myself so I feel blessed with decent friends giving me a place to crash. Though in some ways I feel like I accomplished something, my first vacation on my own, paid with my own money and what not.

Great PTR Amy! Just got through your full album and now I want to hit up Knott's.

So Silver Bullet or Raptor?

[faeriewench]

For me Raptor forever and always Silver Bullet is a lot of fun though only thing about it I don't like is you can feel the forces in your ankles towards the end and I don't recall such a thing happening to me on Raptor (its been a few years however, I may just don't remember).

Thanks for the trip report...I never get tired of looking at Halloween stuff!

I wonder if the spectacle policy has still knott changed....

[faeriewench]

I'm really not sure, though I wanna say yeah they do possibly have it in place :/

Thanks for sharing - I visited KBF last year and loved it. They have a great collection of rides, theme, and the park just has a great atmosphere (so long as you don't need glasses based upon what I understand from Terp). Have to disagree on Silver Bullet/Raptor - to me SB is head and shoulders above Raptor, I especially love the fake roll.

[faeriewench]

Terpy - Ok looks like the glasses policy is still in place. I never had an issue with that cause I don't wear glasses....yet.

[The Interpreter]

Thanks. I shall knott be going there again unless/until it is changed. I need a covering over my eyes to ride, in fact my cornea doctor insists on it.
