Knotts Berry Farm 2023

I mean after Silver Bullet, let's just say I have perpetually awarded "You Tried" ribbons to Knott's with each subsequent coaster addition. 😅

(And for the record, Silver Bullet has actually aged quite lovely for a B&M invert!)
 
I'm genuinely curious as to:
1. How Knotts would market this?
2. If we're missing something significant?

If this isn't breaking any records, then why will this draw more people to Knotts to justify the cost? It should for sure help diffuse the crowds if it's a B&M with good capacity, but that fact wouldn't draw more folks to the park. Will it have a backward row or something like that? Or is it a different manufacturer with a more intricate layout that we can't see on these blueprints?

Show the GP a tall and fast coaster and they will come. If they see that Knotts has a lot of attractions to do, they might be more inclined to choose it over the competition. Knotts needs to stop being seen as the smallest among giants.

Do you see a trend? ;) I earnest - Knott's is a "local's" theme park. It's the go-to spot for a "normal" amusement park experience by LA residents, and has always thrived on coasters that add to the portfolio, rather than being "massive record breakers". A B&M Hyper would absolutely be a popular hit.

That's sorta my point though. Even though those examples are/were regional records, they are still records. Not sure what the latest "leak" can say in that regard. They need at least one selling-point to promote the ride.

Tallest B&M Hyper Coaster in California, Steepest Hyper Coaster in California, etc. :)
