![]() ![]() Even though I had been on the ride twice before, it's always a cool experience to ride such a unique coaster and without the wheels attached to the track. It's well done for a non corporate park and like Black Diamond has a lot to see throughout the ride.įlying Turns had about a 25 minute wait. Haunted Mansion is now $2.50 to ride and worth the cost. The rotating tunnel at the end was a little dizzying. It's still fun with a few drops and a lot to see. The Log Flume is fun with 2 drops and just enough water splashing on you to get cooled off.īlack Diamond feels more like a dark ride than a coaster. It's not going to take over Boulder Dash or El Toro as my favorites but it is now a top 10 wooden coaster for me. I felt like I was out of my seat the entire ride and some elements like the double down were great. I got the first row of the 2nd car and I don't know if that made a difference or I caught the ride on bad days in past trips but I really liked the coaster much more on this trip. Phoenix is a ride that I had always thought was good but overrated. It was way better than S&S Towers but Zumanjaro is still my favorite drop tower. With no stopping at the top and the top of the ride vehicle blocking the view, of the tower, you don't know when the drop is about to happen. I really like the track layout for this coaster. 2 years ago I found the double helix rough and this year as well as last year it was much smoother. Unfortunately for my first ride, I was having trouble snapping and went back later where I was able to snap like normal. The ride cycle at Knoebels is also at least 3 times as long as Dorney and probably twice as long as the ride cycle at Hershey. At Dorney, in addition to regular belts, the ride operator walks around and tightens everyone's belts and you can't even unbuckle them yourself after the ride. At Hersheypark, regular belts are used and the ride operator walks around to look and make sure it is buckled. At Knoebels, the seatbelt doesn't go over your lap and the ride operator doesn't even walk around to make sure everyone buckled the belt. The way this ride is run the perfect example of the difference between Knoebels and a corporate park. I like this coaster more than Untamed at Canobie and Fahrenheit because of the lap bars rather than over the shoulder restraints and because I like this ride's layout better. This year 2 trains were running and it was only a 5 minute wait. I still had almost a full $20 ticket book from the Weis Markets deal last year ($20 ticket book for $16) and bought another $15 in tickets at the park since they were 10% off on weekdays. It's either been raining or high temperatures and humidity most of the summer and with Thursday being cooler, I took advantage of that to get to Knoebels for the first time this year. I haven't been to a park other than Dorney in over 2 months. ![]()
