Knott's Sierra Sidewinder is now open - Page 3

Oh what do you mean about the refurb on the log ride? Darn it, my passes expire, oh crap, really soon!!!

Hee hee, Kevy, it sure sounds like you and Susan have a good thing going.

And, I do love Knotts. No, it isn't Disneyland but I do enjoy it. I went earlier this month, with just a bit of time, and The Hubster and I had a leisurely good time. Browsing the shops, enjoying the characters, we rode the train that looked like a bus or something {a goose...oh, damn my memory!!}, rode the stagecoach {I love going back in time, the inside of the coach was cool}, had candy and watch the saloon show. That was funny.

The fellow was going around asking people about marriage and how long they'd been married. When he asked me I said 'Twenty four years' and he said 'I'm sorry'...to which I repeated '24 years' and he said 'No, I heard you.'

I am so corny. I thought that was funny.

Oh...I wanna go...

Part of the Timber Mountain Log Ride's roof caved in, and it's been closed for quite a while - not because of a scheduled rehab, either.

Oh man! I saw it had been closed when we went {I think so, May 12th} but I thought it was a refurb!! Was anyone hurt???

No major injuries, but apparently major enough problem to address immediately.

Not long ago (last year or the year before), the rebuilt the bridge over to the loading area after it nearly collapsed.

Is it termite damage? Or water damage? That ride isn't their oldest one.

I wonder if Knotts is in need of a tenting?

CoasterMatt · 05-29-2007, 09:57 PM

I believe it was a gunite ceiling that collapsed.
While the Log Ride isn't the oldest ride, it does have quite a punishing internal environment (a large water reservoir right in the middle of the building).

Is that the fiberglassy looking stuff?

My pass expires the 8th...I will be lucky to check out the Sidewinder.

Thank you for you updates, I know on here I can always be kept up to date!!

It looks like the same restraints than the new Trolley ride at IOA .
