Get rid of the classic (and rare) Schwarzkopf shuttle loop and keep the crappy Vekoma Boomerang? If that happens, imma head down to Cedar Fair HQ and slap Matt Ouimet in the face.
Let's hope it's the former.

With a Soak City expansion planned for 2017, it seems fairly clear that 2018 should be a big year for Knott's Berry Farm itself. Adding a bit more fuel to the fire, a reader sent me an official statement about the 2017 Coaster Run event that has been taking place at Knott's for the past several years, which involves the racers running through a course that weaves throughout the entire Knott's Berry Farm theme park. According to the statement, the 2017 Coaster Run event will be moved to Six Flags Magic Mountain because "Knott's Berry Farm told us that they had construction planned inside the park that would prevent the event from traveling through the property." With the event slated for April 2017, the timing is interesting as this could mean that Knott's has a very large project in store for 2018 if they will have construction under full swing by April 2017. Perhaps guests should keep an eagle eye out for survey markings and such to appear in the park over the next several months.
Monty's staying, and throw those giga coaster ideas out the darn dirty window. That rumor is just like Rudy Giuliani - it just won't die.
BUTTTT I can say that construction will probably be starting immediately after KSF for this new project. Get excited!
Whew thank God. Kinda bummed there will be no Giga. Six Flags should do one eventually.
I take it's going to be the Eurofighter you mentioned before?
The fact that it's starting shortly after KSF makes me believe that it isn't an Eurofighter..and I wonder about Jaguar more than I would say for Monty.

Went to Scary Farm last night for my third and final time this year and it was a lot of fun! Probably had the best run through of Shadowlands since I first went through it. It was, however, pretty packed for a Thursday night. Ended up skipping Red Barn since the line was too long and thought it was the weakest house. I went during the day to get some rides in and there were NO LINES. I got to ride Xcellerator three times in a row without leaving my seat. It was amazing. Ghostrider was a five minute wait as well. If you have a weekday open during off-season, go to Knotts at least once. You'll have an amazing time.
Sol Spin opened Saturday. I might take a spin on it this week.
Also today is Boomerang's last day. I'm hearing conflicting runors that he replacement is either a Eurofighter or a hyper. I'm really hoping for the latter. We need an airtime filled big ride.
I'm curious, as the Skytower hasn't been operational and that Grill hasn't even gone vertical, are they potentially planning on removing the tower and using that plot of land of the Grill for the new coaster? It's just something that I am wondering.
