knottslover77 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 1) I think they should make the parking lot next to Soak City a parking sturcture. 2) Take out the parking lot next to the hotel. 3) Move the office buildings and the behind the sences area across the street. 4) With all that they can expand and add about 25 more acres of land to the park. But that will never happen. Except for in my dreams. --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'm not even gonna start ranting about what Knott's should do, so to give us a little break, I'll post some of my pictures from Monday, some of them you might want to see! First off, seems like the construction workers have a wierd fetish for 7-11 That's a lot of rebar Two dumpsters, a cement maker, and dirt. What can get better than that?! Some of the already placed footers Possibly a tunnel? The old train station with some heavy machinery You can really see how far they've dug down when you see the Balloon Race platform that high up Just to let you know, the following pictures were taken off property and I was in no restricted section to take these pictures. And now, what you've all been waiting for... What's that stuff way off in the distance? YES! It's track! Some curvy bits Look at all those supports One last picture Well, there you have it. Hope you enjoy them! ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Great Pictures! I would have gotten pictures of the track, but they had a sign that said lot closed so I did not risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Oooo trackage! I wish by some miracle they could open it by late March when I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone else think that the track color is ugly? Anyways its good to see that they are making progress on Sierra Sidewinder. Hopefully It'll open this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully It'll open this year. Yes, it's very ugly. I was hoping for green or blue. --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I was hoping for blue as well. This track color just makes me feel blue and nauseous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Like most coasters which people think are "ugly" as they lay in pieces awaiting vertical construction, it'll probably turn out to look good or decent once the ride has been completed. People said the exact same things about X, Scream! and Silver Bullet. But they look good up close in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah, hopefully it will look better when it's all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 For the record, I think Scream still looks bad, and Silver Bullet's paint job wouldn't have been my first choice. But X does look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Sheesh! How much red track can a park have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I agree with kraxle. Wait until it is done before you pass judgement the appearance of the ride. You cannot really be sure how it will look until you see the finished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rccrazy23 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The track is ugly, but I love thos supports! Together that red will probably look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedved82491 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Usually the color of the coaster corresponds to the name. A sidewinder is a snake, which has a faded red color. Now if X's or a SCREAM's names were an actual thing, or even in a thematical place [much like Knotts is] i'm sure they'd have different color schemes, but they are supposed to stick out, and look intimidating. I was however surprised when "Silver Bullet" was red and yellow, and nothing was really silver about it at all, howver, I think the red and Yellow make it look a lot nicer and it definetly fits into the theme of Knotts. Sierra Sidewinder will be a great addition, and I like the colors. Something a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Sheesh! How much red track can a park have? *COUGH*Cedarpoint*COUGH* Nice pictures, after this is built i will have another reason to get back out to california Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roller8652 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 THe color are almost the same as maverick. Just not that much of a candy red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rclay2003 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Regardless of the color scheme, I'm excited to see substantial work finally being done on site. I hope they can get it up in 2 and a half months. Besides I feel that the colors fit in with the name/theme of the coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rccrazy23 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 When you here the name Sierra Sidwinder what do you think of? I myself picture a blue, grassy, and misty mountain, even though the name is a snake, the colors just do not fit me well. Despite the colors I believe the layout is excellent. It looks much better than Euro Mir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 When you here the name Ciara Sidwinder what do you think of? I think of a black female hip-hop artist doing some twisty dance manuever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Please let this be the last coaster they shove into this side of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savemagicmountain Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I was at Knotts yesterday for physics day and it looks like a lot of work is going on. I wish they would of started working on this earlier, it just stood there for like 2 months. As for the rest of the park, it was pretty busy because of all the schools but they managed to run Silver Bullet without stacking for about 90 percent of the time. Ghostrider was a mess though, they started the day out with one train operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougr Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Silver Bullet isn't bad at all! It's better than nothing, IMO. I am just giddy for this ride. I can't wait. I'll be there taking pictures of the building of it overtime, so expect some pics as soon as progress starts on this ride. I'm curious as to where it will be located. If it weren't for Tatsu, Silver Bullet would be my favorite coaster ever. I love the first drop...especially from the first row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
