Xcelerating TESTING VIDEO!

Whoops. I mean XCELERATOR. :)

Same thing. ;)

Smooooth! Looks like I'll be able to visit Knott's at the beginning of next year. Can't wait to ride Xcelerator.

man that's a short ride. 20 seconds from launch to brakes, brakes gently slow you down in about 10 seconds. a short ride, but very intense.
Great video! It's short but no shorter than Superman.
Man !! Does Intamin know how to shape a curve or what? Like butter !!

Can someone explain to me why the things in the launch section move up and down? Are those the rollback brakes?

The things that move up and down are safety brakes. Their purpose is to stop the train if it doesn't launch fast enough to clear the first hill and rolls back.

Just cleaning up a bit. Check here (or here for non-club members) for another discussion about this.

Thanks,
