This ride looks great. My favorite element is the overbanked turn. I think this is a great addition to Knott's.

Outstanding inverted coaster, and an all around great ride. Fun, thrilling and highly rerideable; smooth and intense, well paced and good interaction with other rides and surroundings. Nice job on the theming, and the whole ride experience.

Very fun coaster. More thrilling than Batman and Top Gun combined!

Sad to see Reflection Lake as a puddle now, though.

Exquisite addition to Knott's. From what I saw and heard on the 12/12, every rider came off bewildered and proclaiming the 1 hour 30 minute wait more than well worth it. Very fun and well themed/landscaped.

This ride was awesome, but it doesn't have the intense feeling that some of the older B&M's have.

This ride was good, but easily the least forceful and least favorite of the 8 B&M Inverts I've ridden.

Really cool name for this roller coaster. But I'm sad that the Reflection Lake is gone...

This is such a sweet coaster. I got a total of three rides during the day and enjoyed it every time. It's good in length and intesity.

This coaster, though unassuming at first glance, is in the upper echelon of inverts. The overbanked turn is a great element, the cobra roll is great, and the flat spins are so smooth that you hardly even feel them. A fantastic coaster from the masters, B&M.

A great B&M invert. Not forceful, but a lot of fun.

Silver Bullet is amazing! Underneath the ride, there is the remote controlled boats game, like Tugboat Bay in the Roaring 20's area.
