Knott's Berry Farm

If I am not fuzzy on the details, wasn't a old Giga plan indicative that they'd have the coaster pointed "away" from residental? And that for the most part that it would've combined the use of the parking lot surrounding Soak City, the Marketplace, and a portion of Ghost Town?

I can be wrong, but I agree with @Freak that if USH could figure out a multi-inverting outdoor coaster of a high scale, Knotts could figure out a GIGA (especially if it was developed with the residential area in mind).

If Great America in San Jose closes at the end of this season (rumored), I wouldn't mind seeing Railblazer at Knotts though SFMM has a bigger one.

I think I read that it was welded together so I don't think it is portable anymore.

From everything I have heard, I wouldn't expect much from Mystery Lodge. When it closed, I was a little more optimistic that they would find a solution to the problem over there, but I just don't know how much they are willing to invest in it. I am also not privy to how attendance was at the show during it's last year or so and how much that factors into the overall decisions being made. I'd love to be wrong.

This might be an unpopular opinion here, but I still stand by the fact that Knott's doesn't need any type of giga/hyper coaster. I think that by building one, you run the risk of potentially getting rid of things that mean a lot more to the legacy and importance of that park. That is something that has already happened too much for roller coasters at Knott's IMO.

I agree with this. I'd rather see additions to Knott's that embrace the legacy it has rather than try to shoehorn a giant coaster into the park. Build the mega coasters at Magic Mountain, and work on making Knott's the best version of itself that it can be.

I'm inclined to agree, Knott's has such a chilled vibe compared to other parks IMO. And there's tons of low to the ground coasters that are amazing and would be perfect for Knott's.

I have a sentimental attachment to Mystery Lodge, I really like that it's somewhat an authentic native American attraction. But I'd be surprised if was well attended. But they should do something with it, bring back the Haunted Shack as the Haunted Cave lol.
