Xcelerator (Knotts Berry Farm)

[Coincrazed]

Probably one of the best coasters at Knott's, Xcelerator is an extremely fun ride. When it starts, if my memory is correct, it goes from 0-80 MPH in about two seconds. Then, you shoot practically STRAIGHT up into the air, go straight down, and go around to the station. The ride was closed a long time this year? Because two people were nearly killed amd were seriously injured when a loose cable flew up and hit passengers on "launch" or takeoff. The ride is back up now though.
Hmm, let me see if I can get a YouTube video of Xcelerator, I'm on my Android now though.

This is a good coaster, Better than Stealth (Thorpe Park) because it has a more interesting layout.

Xcelerator only has one L, though whatever.

I wonder when they are going to re-paint the track. The pink track is starting to turn white when it is supposed to be red.

This looks so fun. It's also the only Intamin Accelator that goes up and to the right. All others go to the left.

If you can find plans for that Simba, Show them. I'm not sure on that.

I also agree that the ride could do with a repaint. Not the most needing of rides though.

So, I rode it for the first time on Nov. 3rd and it was really good. The launch and top hat were amazing, thought the overbanks were OK. Xcelerator jumped to my #1 coaster and is easily the best coaster in California, better than X2 & Tatsu.

Also, the pink track doesn't look bad in person and the supports were re-painted last year.
