I don’t get why the advert for it was all “scary” when the ride is not scary themed at all?

[@arposkraft3616]

in the ninetys all amusement park advertisements either had a dark or TOTAL RAD type of advertisement...

[@bluedragon9925]

@@arposkraft3616 Yep. Just look at Splash Mountain's original ad (I know that was technically from the 80's but it was 1989 so I'm counting it since aspects of 90's pop culture were carried over from the late 80's anyways). Even though the ride itself is the usual light-hearted Disney fare, its ad had a very foreboding tone, with *heavy* emphasis placed on the big drop towards the end ("The only way out... Is a long... Way... Down..."). I think the main reason they marketed it that way was not only to distract from the elephant in the room that was the problematic origins of its theme (being based on Song of the South and all), but make it more appealing to the "too cool for Disney" teenage thrill seeker crowd.

[@TheOnlyBongo]

Imagine a park advertising a wacky worm like a scary ride

[@madtownchris]

Cool topic! A few corrections: 10:14- Most wild mouse coasters feature individual cars, not trains. 10:24- Viper was at Great Adventure, not Great America. And the shoulder restraints are totally different between the two rides. 17:25- This is important. Only one TOGO Ride, Shockwave at KD, had a fatal accident in 1999. While that year was terrible for coaster and thrill ride accidents in the US, the only TOGO ride that had a fatality in 1999 was Shockwave.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

That is correct.

[@singlerideradventures6621]

I never rode this, because it was always closed when I was there, but my friends always called it Neckjammer. It's too bad about the Boardwalk, as the rest of the park is beautifully themed, the back remains a mash up of 20's, 50's, and 90's.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Yeah !

[@thecoastergnome8603]

yeh I think it should get a partial re-theme, keep the boardwalk theme but make it look nicer and replace coast rider with an s&s El Loco

[@BruinPhD2009]

I agree. I like Knotts, but parts of it look like the planners just got bored halfway through a school project.

[@gregorymoore2877]

They should have stuck with the 20's airfield theme with the Corkscrew, Sky Jump Parachutes and Wacky Soapbox Pacers. Wouldn't been more interesting than what's there today.

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

Crazy! At 2:45 the listing just above the address you highlighted, was about a block down from my house growing up on Central Ave. in the small town of Middletown, Ohio.

[@fifthrider]

I love Knotts and am lucky I got to go on the Soapbox Racers, which I believe Bob Gurr developed. That corner of Knotts has always had an identity crisis ever since Soapbox Racers was removed; it never really knew what it wanted to be and thematically it never did it well. I was present on a day some 20+ years ago when a woman passed away on Montezuma's Revenge. At first the park was blamed but then we later learned she was a model and ate next to nothing. Her brain aneurysm was caused my malnutrition. Not long after that someone died on 19:42 the unfortunately named Perilous Plunge. Not to put too fine a point on it, but that woman was well over the weight limit and the restraints weren't working for her properly. Instead of being held in her seat at the top of the drop, she was catapulted out thus adding credence to the ride's name. I think about that every time I'm at a theme park and someone wants to argue with the ride operator that their kid should be allowed on despite the height limit, should be allowed on despite the fact they don't fit into the restraint system properly, etc. Please don't argue with the safety rules, people.

[@rjkral]

Fifthrider very good points and I see it a lot. The safety measures are the LEAST folks can do to keep all these rides running safely and not be shut down, or worse bring on injury and the loss of life

[@bryanmcclanahan532]

Splash ride with ejector airtime vibes

[@andrewbowser2794]

I have to confess, I stuffed napkins in my shoes when I was a kid to ride on Hammerhead. No joke, we started flipping and i slipped out of the shoulder restraints and held on for dear life. My feet were kicking the heads of the people in front of me. The riders to the left and right of me were seriously concerned. Lesson learned from that day forward! Never went on that ride again because of the traumatic experience. I didn’t say a word. After hanging on for dear life the whole ride, the people in front and all around asked if I was okay. Long story short, I have kids now and never will they ride a ride until they meet the minimum height requirements. Period.

[@korwynias_yt]

You know with all these problems coasters have with wind, easiest solution is just put up wind breakers. This ride would benefit with sails that blocked the wind in designated spots and also add to the surf theme.

[@bryanmcclanahan532]

Korwynias Wolfdrake or maybe add large fans to counter the wind. Might enhance the ride experience while combating... 3 mph winds 😂

[@P-_-S]

As we had just recently learned about what a codpiece was in British Literature class, this ride was infamously known as the “Codjammer” among my circle of friends in high school. In addition to the shoulder harnesses being incredibly painful, the seats on the train had a raised part in the groin region that... uh... jammed your cod, as it were. Rode it once, never wanted to ride it again. I was not at all surprised to see it ripped out just a few years later or to find out there were lawsuits filed . Such a shame too, it was a great concept and layout, but terribly designed and constructed. Best thing about it was the creepy carnival haunted house they had there during Knott’s Scary Farm. I am also eternally sad that they removed the Soapbox Racers for the Codjammer, I don’t blame them because it was indeed looking pretty haggard in its twilight years, but my nostalgia for it will always remain strong. The removal of the Soapbox Racers was made extra painful by the fact the replacement ride was so stunningly awful.

[@oneandonlysound99]

I know that a big issue of American Togo coasters was steel manufacturing, the fact "Viper" at SFGADV was a random prototype they bought off the lot and "added rings" onto, etc. The thing I'll never got is how they didn't see a problem before this. Nor that the design was plain bad in areas like wth? They have actually made some really cool things-I'd LOVE to see an improved, non-maintenance nightmare Ultra Twister, and they made a pretty good hyper coaster. And a looping coaster at a smaller park not unlike Viper that isn't smooth but is longer and not legit painful like Viper was (if you didn't slouch on purpose), as some examples. The stand-ups would be fine if not stand ups too really, but that's me stand-ups=convert them to something else (SFOG I'm staring at you rn and GADV for sit-down too!)

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

Never buy a prototype from a test site. King's Island or King's Dominion (I can't remember which) made that mistake with the Hypersonic XLC.

Oh I have to comment on this headache of a ride. I was a season pass holder and lived close enough to be able to go to Knott's to observe the construction progress. Windjammer was a sight and yea couldn't wait to ride it. Went there opening week to ride it. Initially the loops did not have the three connecting supports. Every time a train went through them, each loop swung side by side you would think they would break off. Knott's management was there with the rest of the crowd enjoying the new coaster going through its paces. I had to ask them if the loops are supposed move that much. They were no longer smiling. Forward in time, the ride was no longer smooth and every time, me and then girlfriend had to visit the first aid center for some generic pain reliever (Knott's was great with their first aid center back then.) Windjammer was visually great, but a totally nightmare of a ride.

@@twistedcheese1 Arrow coasters are fine and have a decent history of being reliable. The word "Even" kind of implies this is not the case. Their rides may not be spectacular today for record breakers or whatever but they were top of the line when they were made. They bankrupted themselves creating the coaster "X" and investing into a coaster that did not pan out in vegas.

I hate that ride for the simple reason that it replaced the beloved and infinitely better Wacky Soap Box Racers.

[@NAOT4R]

I actually kinda enjoyed Viper at Great Adventure. I remember it having a weirdly intense first drop for the size and I was young and pretty hearty at the time so I didn't feel like it beat me up that badly.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Il cover it soon!

[@TrevorCollin_]

The first looping coaster I ever rode. I personally loved it!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Interesting first!

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

What side?

[@TrevorCollin_]

@@pizzaplanettruck9761 yellow. The red side had been down for about a month already

@@TrevorCollin_ You're lucky because you rode yellow.

@@pizzaplanettruck9761 was the red side really that bad?

[@JosieKay15]

How ironic. The Wind Jammer was jammed by wind.

Can you do a review on Perilous Plunge I feel like it’s a ride that gets missed a lot I used to ride it as a kid and it was great. I don’t understand why they would replace a record breaking drop ? And ride

[@gregg5958]

Mario Lozano The death. It was TOO perilous.

[@GTMGUNN]

@@gregg5958 Yet PP ran for eleven more years AFTER the fatality and they didn't even change the name!!!

[@gregg5958]

GTMGUNN Yes, but it was never the same. Capacity suffered. Ridership suffered. And it didn’t even run much of the year becoming rather pointless and a huge waste of space. And if you notice, Cedar Fair doesn’t seem to buy Intamin anymore. Too many problems I guess.

[@GTMGUNN]

Greg G So many bad decisions during the early part of Cedar’s ownership. BTW- my name is also Greg : )

[@MariaGgg19883]

I understand but Man I have been on this ride a few times and to be honest it was one of my favorite water rides of all time in my opinion

[@riparianlife97701]

Fantastic as usual.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Thank you

[@davidmay1225]

Dang, I guess I’m lucky I got to ride this during its brief life.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

yep!

[@pizzaplanettruck9761]

Yellow side? If you did you're even luckier.
