Finally an official POV! Looks great, sucks I'm on the other side of the country. The inversions look great and really smooth, and even I can see two ejector airtime moments in there. The vertical drop with the B&M dive style holding break is neat. It stinks it isn't vertical, but it's still cool. With this and the coaster coming to American Dream, Gerslauter may be making some spectacular coasters to come!
It appears the lift hill goes straight up? and there's no rescue walkway next to the track. So out of curiosity, how do the riders get down if the chain breaks and the anti reversing system locks the coaster in place?
Infinity coaster have magnetic fins that lower as the train passes and raise when it leaves, if the ride is to shut down at all then the magnets are capable of lowering the train at a safe pace. There is a video of The Smiler Evacuating on the lift somewhere.
Actually forget my last comment. I rewatched the announcement/tour and he said that there is no Anti-Rollback system but instead magnetic breaks on the lift hill so if the train gets stuck, it’ll disengage from the chain and roll down slowly.
The lift hill has magnetic fins on it. In the event the lift chain breaks or the coaster somehow becomes disconnected, the train will slowly roll down and stop at the bottom of the lift, and riders will safely evacuate at the bottom. Check out Monster at Adventureland or Smiler at Alton Towers, they have similar systems in place.
This is gonna be a great coaster for you guys next year! I really wish that these rides went to more parks though... they are literally the perfect coaster for almost every park in the world.
Thanks to that cobra roll, Boomerang will never be forgotten. I don't know why people keep saying that HangTime might be a 30 second ride. From what I see, it's going to be a 1 min 40 sec coaster. I guess the lifts on the coasters don't count. Montezuma's Revenge will be turning 40 years old in 2018, that ride's been at Knott's since 1978.
Pete Martinez When people count time spent on a ride, the lift hill and break run aren’t usually counted as part of the “experience.” The ride is 30 seconds or so because the experience starts at 0:50 and ends at 1:20
Wow, this looks like an amazing coaster! Perfect for the Boardwalk Area. I do have a question: Are you planning on reopening Xcelerator? I've wanted to go on it since October, but its been closed since then.
there is a lot of speed left when it hits the final break run, i know they ran out of room, but they should've added an ejector airtime hill after the cobra roll
When the ride stopped on the top of the drop I was the first one yelling that I was going to die and then it went down and I started to scream and cry because I'm just ten years old
Is this recording while theres people on the ride? EDIT: i watched the vid again and saw the people walking around and realized that this was not the real roller coaster.
After a little bit of research, I found that most parks use, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, and Maya. They could also hire animation companies to do it for them.

At least Xcelerator runs in this animation...
LOL HONESTLY
Didn't realize it was a 3D rending until much later. I need my eyes checked.
Binary Void Nah! It looked pretty real to me too. Don't need your eyes checked. :)
Fucking IDIOT
Pretty impressive of what 3-D animation can do.

Awesome finally something taking place of Boomerang,cant wait to ride :D
omega boy every time I went that thing was broken so it’s probably s good thing it’s being replaced haha
Can't wait! Gold season pass holder, you are our favorite park!

Rick Jasper I heard if it brakes down there is some cable or a relesing mecanizum to pull it down

There is no anti rollback (not reversing) system so instead there is a cable of some sort that slowly lowers it back down.

Kw6sTheater For Cedar Fair anyway, because Six Flags got some problemos-menos
YES! Finally! Thank you for showing us a POV of this beast, Knott’s!
This ride looks so cool! I'm looking forward to experiencing it once it opens. :)
Did you add the cobra roll to remember the boomerang?
This looks to be a fantastic addition the the park

Pete Martinez to be fair, there are boomerang clones all over the place. I think Scorpion might still be there at busch gardens
Montezuma has been closed for no apparent reason
30 second ride is still more than Montezuma
Boomerang was actually just a base model of a coaster type of the same name - they are everywhere
That first inversion looks so badass !
NO But it a new ride ok
beautiful job knotts
Most underrated coaster of 2018?
RideAllNight
The ride hasn't even finished building- it comes out in 2018
That's either Twisted Cyclone or Twisted Timbers. Steel Vengeance makes both look way worse than they will be.
Possibly
It’s really fun
I can't wait to ride this next year
I rode Hangtime yesterday and i LOVED it
I'M READY TO HANG!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Nice!! Looks like a great new ride!
CANT WAIT!!!!!! I’m gonna love this
Wow, this looks like an amazing coaster! Perfect for the Boardwalk Area. I do have a question: Are you planning on reopening Xcelerator? I've wanted to go on it since October, but its been closed since then.
RedSuns What happened to Xcelerator?
This ride was so much fun :D
I love this roller coaster !!!👏🏻
First and btw you did a good job! this ride is 9/10
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Finally! Looks amazing!
Can't wait to see it!
hi i went to Knotts berry farm yesterday but it did not have hangtime
Cool ride! Wish they would put some theming around the ride though. Something that is on par with Railblazer up north would have been nice.
Memo Fernandez it’s a 50 mph rollercoaster so you won’t even see theming if it was there...
Due to the nature of the ride, they can't do much theming with it. However, the plaza will get a lot of beach theming though
I GOT SEASON PASES AND I AM READY TO GO ON THIS RIDE
So excited!
there is a lot of speed left when it hits the final break run, i know they ran out of room, but they should've added an ejector airtime hill after the cobra roll
pretty sick drop
did they use that roller coaster game for this?
Looks solid
looks like a cool coaster
Woop! Woop! looks Awesome!!
OMG I CANT WAIT 😍😂😄😄
Knottsberry farm please make this coaster’s lift hill slightly taller and the lay out slightly longer? I have a great idea for it if you agree.
It was funnn!!!
The surface of the ground should be water instead of grass. It would go much better with the "HangTime" theme. Come on Knott's Berry Farm.
David Lizama in real life it’s sand. Fits well
is this no-limits 2? Looks a lot like it.
yes- the pro version
The cobra roll almost seems like a nod to Boomerang. 😁
Awesome!
That’s the replacement for Boomerang? Well it seems fun but, I miss boomerang. I only got to ride it once!! ;-;
Kendall Valentine it’s a clone tho
Is this what's replacing the boomerang? Looks good! I like the track layout. Nice color scheme and theming. ETA: OMGS! Is that a pretzel loop?
Looks awesome
Awesome, Wow! -King George |||
When the ride stopped on the top of the drop I was the first one yelling that I was going to die and then it went down and I started to scream and cry because I'm just ten years old
Xcelerator will still be the best ride. This will be a nice addition though
Is this recording while theres people on the ride?
EDIT: i watched the vid again and saw the people walking around and realized that this was not the real roller coaster.
Who’s going on?
Insane
Does anyone know what Cedar fair uses to animate their rides and design them? Please and Thanks
I think it’s something they made themselves? Idk looks like a modded NL2
After a little bit of research, I found that most parks use, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, and Maya. They could also hire animation companies to do it for them.
No Limits 2
Why tf am I not in that line? I've been on the hype train ever since I saw the construction of this beautiful masterpice of a roller coaster!
What is this replacing?
63Malda boomerang
It's going to occupy the space where Boomerang and Riptide used to be.
Awesome 😎
Can't wait went today and went on silver bullet 3 times in a row because there was no line
station sneak peak too
Way better than your typical boomerang
WOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
I'm going to Knott's right now! NO LITERALLY I'M IN THE CAR
TurquoiseDoll83 nobody cares
TurquoiseDoll83 I wish I could go with you. 😕
finally
ValorGH
Hope a park in England gets one of those
The Smiler is a bigger one just without the drop
Damo Coaster! Ever heard of the smiler? lol
England has the first one ever I thought, Oblivion at Alton Towers?
+indy weasly That's the first ever dive coaster from B&M, the coaster +Damo Coaster! is talking about is a Gerstlauer infinity coaster.
Is this replacing anything or is it new?
it's replacing Boomerang
Replacing Boomerang
They’re replacing Boomerang
It's replacing Boomerang, therefore making it a new coaster
This is replacing Boomerang-
R.I.P Boomerang
I will make this in Planet Coaster
Oh yeah!
It's a two minute ride
Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster 1 looks too intense for me. JK lol I would totally ride this.
ShinobiTreecko8 ReactionsandRandom Same. I've never ridden an Infinity before.
RIP
Boomerang at least your bats wings are still with us
Also first succas
Thats definitely a cobra roll..
WELL THEN Boomerangs are fun, but I miss Kingdom of the Dinosaurs and the Parachute ride more.
0:19 STOP THE RIDE NOW
Well i know what I'll be doing this summer maybe i can get my two nieces to go with me...
Then you notice the people waiting in line to ride the coaster are mannequins.
My friends want to put me on this, it's my first time on a coaster, hope not to die
Does any one know that the scariest rollercoaster ever is in six flags
wow thats short!
had to fit in the space of boomerang soooo
It’s the same thing as the Excelerator. The only difference is that this one doesn’t launches you up.
It is nothing like Accelerator!
There’s a 780 degree drop on ghost rider
you are stupid
Bring back Bearry Tales.
idk
Ween I'm 7 I can go on the ride
Like if you were listening ALT 98.7 📻
and took you here to check out the new ride?
I don't want to ride that... I hate the feeling in my stomach and I would love to ride boomerang
crusty durian honestly tho
You ride boomerang at almost any Park in America
Boomerang would've been an AMAZING ride if it didn't give me a headache for the rest of the day- other than that it was great
boomerang was rough af and I have a feeling you will love this ride along with everyone else
Theres a boomerang in Six flags discovery kingdom and pretty much another other park in America.
FIRST!!!!
Anyone notice that in this video the ride goes much faster than it actually does
U should have left the boomerang
looks like planet coaster
no limits 2 actually
bet
me likey
Roller Coaster
Funny be lit frist comments
LOBNA HAMMOURI
