Knotts Berry Farm Progress
Workers all over the entire park painting Kiosks, Rails, Stairs.
Montezuma's Revenge is getting a new train! Same style and everything, just brand new. The old train was at the bottom of the drop, and the new one was right in front of it. The mechanic said it's been in storage ever since the ride was made, and from the dust, i could tell. MR is also getting a new cable, and fly wheel for the launch sequence. Nice!
I'd say about 20% of Pillars are set for Silver Bullet. Mainly the helix towards the end of the ride, the first loop, and the station. The lift hills pillars are yet to be done, and it looks like they are going to concrete all the pillars together, in different sections of the ride, and then put the water in. Otherwise, pretty good progress.
Mechanics were at Xcelerator rootin up the Red Train.
Thats basically all I saw, but the parks looking great and It's always a pleasure to visit Knotts. Any other info, let me know.
Thanks all, and by the way, im a little new, so excuse me if i'm a little slow the first couple weeks.

Montezooma has two trains that are rotated each time the ride goes through rehab. That second train you saw is not a new train, it is just a rehabbed train.
Sorry just a little confused.
Kyle Says: Diamondback was a lot of fun! Made his first time at Kings Island worth it all!
The coaster track is for Knott's' new B&M Inverted Coaster, Silver Bullet.
Two seperate rides in that update.
And I can't quite make heads or tails of the Silver Bullet scheme. Some supports are red, some silver. Some track is all red, some orange and red. If they keep it colorful like that, I think it will look nice.
By the way, the large footers make it seem that the Walter won't be making rounds any time soon...unless they re-route it.
That's too bad. *** Edited 5/18/2004 3:11:07 PM UTC by janfrederick***
That's good news. It reminds me of the good old days when it was across the street along with the burro rides, train, and cable car.

And I'm terrible with names and such...yes, the chicken lady. ;)
Actually, I was hoping they'd replace the boats on Perilous Plunge with the "Cordelia."

Can someone explain to me what big footers has to do with Walter?
There was some concern that the Walter K would be permanently removed due to clearance issues with SB. But Moosh is saying it'll be re-routed, so I'll take his word for it. Glad to hear a classic KBF attraction is being intergrated into the redone Reflections Lake area instead of just being removed altogether.
I don't know what they are doing with the paint scheme to SB, but I really don't care what speculation is, we will know soon enough.
