Since my trip to california is now over. I guess Its time to write some reviews. Ill start out with knotts. We arrived at knotts berry farm at 9:30. The entrance gates were packed. I asked around and everyone said that silver bullet would get the longest line of the day. The gates opened at 9:40, and I ran to silver bullet. I walked through the queue, and up into the station. I got in line for row 2. It looked like I would be the third train out of the station. I had to wait about 10 minutes thanks to horribly slow operations. The silver gates opened and I walked in. I went to the far right hand seat, and sat down. We waited another 5 minutes. While waiting 3 operators came and checked my restraint! I knew that there would be no re-rides. The floor dropped down and we left the station. Our car slowly went up the lift. At the top of the hill, our train paused for a second, and we went down the first dip. After the dip there was a small flat section, just to let the train pick up momentum. After that, we flew down the first drop, and went into the loop. After the loop we hit the overbank. The overbank really didnt look like an inversion. But when I rode silver bullet, it sure felt like one! I guess Its like the mindbender at sfog. You go upside down but you dont. Its very confusing! Our train then flew into the cobra roll, which was extremely smooth and intense. We then hit the zero G roll, which didnt feel as intense as I had expected, but it was still very fun! After that our train hit a few corckscrews and we then hit the grand finale! The super intense helix. We spun around about 4 times. Our train flew through it with no headbanging at all. Ive never been on an invert that intense. My legs felt like they were about to fall off! We hit the brakes, waited for the other train to depart and went into the station clapping. I think everyone riding silver bullet had enjoyed their ride. I left the station and went to get a re ride. The queue was completely filled up! It was lucky that I didnt have to wait.
