I finished my East coaster season on El Toro/Nito on November 2nd. It was 34 degrees, 22 MPH wind, and felt like 28... THAT WAS REALLY COLD! But worth it since I totaled 3 Batman, 1 Dark Knight, 6 Nitro, 1 Skull Mountain, and 12 El Toro!
And finished off the season in the last row of the last train of El Toro for 2014!
Hi guys! I don't really know where to put this, but I have a question (or series of questions to be more specific).
What do you like most about Knotts? What do you dislike most (feel free to be specific)? What do you think Knotts needs most going into the future?
Edit: My logic for putting this here was that there's no thread dedicated to themepark discussion and this seems like an interesting offseason discussion. Feel free to move or delete this post or move it if you feel otherwise.
I like the welcoming atmosphere of it. There's a certain feeling of tranquility that I get there. One that I don't get at other theme parks. They have a good selection of rides. As for the future, I'm not really sure what to suggest. A dark ride definitely but I think one is coming next year at the site where the old Kingdom of the Dinosaurs once stood. There's a lot of work going on there so hopefully something amazing comes out of it.
So it seems like people like the atmosphere at feeling it's gives off most. What do you dislike most, though? And I toy agree about the need for another dark ride, but I was also thinking improvements to some of the themeing around ghost town and especially around silver bullet.

Need a bigger coaster than Xcelerator. A giga would be nice if it could fit
^ That does sound awesome, but I was thinking the park should go the other direction, and focus on touching up their themeing, especially around Silver Bullet and ghost town. Maybe even add a dark ride.
i'd like to see Knott's get another water ride, a surf themed Flying Carpet, either a GCI or RMC, and a B&M hyper (Shambhala) or even a Maurer S??????hne whatever Rip Ride Rockit is

Kind of confused on why the offseason thread has turned into the Knott's thread.
Anyway, the offseason is dragging along for me. It's cold and snowy up here in Minnesota, and we've got 174 days until Valleyfair opens, ugh. I'll probably make a trip to Nickelodeon Universe in January or February, but besides that, this is a very depressing time of year .

How far away from Nickelodeon Universe are you?
About two hours away, which is about the same distance from where I live to Valleyfair, but I only go to NU once or twice a year as opposed to 10-12 VF visits because I don't feel that NU's ride lineup is worth their $250 annual pass. Besides, the offseason is generally a good time to save up money for next summer's trips.
