Original Post:

Well Knott's got rid of K.O.D. and I haven't heard nothing recently... so what's next?

Any ideas or possibilities???

[Mr.SixTelling it like how it is]

I really fear that Monte's days are numbered. As well as Boomerange...but meh...Boomerange is a frickin Vekoma so who cares
I would like to see an impulse coaster were Boomerange is now! I think that would be a good addition to the park and it would look great in that location also. But it might fit better where Monte is right now

There was a rumor that there was going to be a flying coaster coming soon where Big Foot Rapids is now. But I feel as if that rumor is pretty BS myself.

KOD was dead to me when they connected the cars and had a cop in the back seat.

[Airtime 2000To boldly go where no coaster enthusiast has gone before]

I heard a rumor that KBF would add a Morgan Hypercoaster as their next coaster, as KBF is the only Cedar Fair park that doesnt have a hyper coaster, unless you count Xcelerator, and I dont. If this is true, it will probably open 2007/2008.

All I want to see a GOOD coaster at Knotts!

[HomerAWESOME-O-SAURUS!!!]

^Wrong, Michigans Adventure and Geauga Lake also does not have a Hyper.

[jonathan hRandomness Rules]

Also, do they have the room for a hyper coaster? I have never visited but from pictures I have seen from above, the park doesn't seem to have alot of room to expand to because of its urban location. But I agree with the Impulse. I think it would look brilliant at Knotts.

[Red BennyDid the donkey fairy give me this title?]

no more KOD? aww.. I loved that ride when I was 8.. lol.

[SharkTumsSite Admin]

Yeah...I could really see them taking out Monte to put in an impulse or something like all the other Cedar Fair parks have...You just have to hope they won't!!

As for a hyper, they have plenty of room! Look at places like Blackpool or Morey's Pier! Look at the way they put Silver Bullet it...plenty of room for a hyper...I really hope it's not a Morgan though!

Elissa "would almost forgive the park if they put in an Intamin Hyper...nah, still wouldn't!" Alvey

[jonathan hRandomness Rules]

yper, they have plenty of room! Look at places like Blackpool or Morey's Pier! Look at the way they put Silver Bullet it...plenty of room for a hyper...I really hope it's not a Morgan though!

Ok, as I said, I have never been and from picture the park looks pretty full up.

[maliboomerBanned]

Tear it out and make a direct airport to Orlando.

[XKrazy Koaster Kevin]

I agree that Knotts has room for an Impulse without taking out any rides. It would go between Ghostrider and Bigfoot Rapids. However Knotts would have to take out a ride if they wanted ANY Hyper at the park. Just Please just DON"T TAKE OUT MONTY!!! Boomerang is fine with me though.
