Here is Carrie and Matthew before the ride.  When Carrie got off she beat me up a bit because I forgot to mention to her about the initial blast of airtime when it shoots you down to the ground, oops.   Well at least she liked it and had fun.



One of the nice things about Knott's is that there is a large amount of rides and activities for the whole family so everyone can have a great time.



This was just too cool so I had to take a picture of it.  This coaster is in the middle of Knott's remote control boat pond and if you can drive your boat into one of the docks it will launch the coaster through that wicked loop.   I think a loop like that would be entirely possible and it'd be pretty wicked to ride (coaster designers please take note).



This is, or was Windjammer which was a racing looping coaster that is being removed for something bigger and better.  I've heard several rumors but all of them have the word "Launched" in it so it'll be fun.



From what I hear Windjammer had it's share of problems including being a bit rough as well as valleying if a moderate wind was blowing.  If anything it looks neat but I have no idea what the funnel looking thingy in the middle of the helix is?
