Buena Park California sits Knott's Berry
Farm which just happens to be
California's first theme park back in
the early 1940s way before Disneyland
was built Walter Knott decided to build
an old Western ghost town this was to
keep eager visitors occupied while they
waited for the family's famous chicken
dinners over time ghost town expanded
and eventually popular rides like the
calico mine ride and the timber Mountain
log ride were added these rights have
become Knott's Berry Farm classics along
with the other offerings of ghost town
it's a true theme park experience and
even though thrill wasn't a major focus
in the beginning more and more thrill
rides have been added to the 57 acre
park this has been especially true since
Cedar Fair purchased Knott's Berry Farm
in 1997 today the park is home to some
pretty fast rides but which one is
actually the fastest well get ready to
find out so today in order of speed
we're gonna be counting down the top 10
fastest thrill rides and roller coasters
at Knott's Berry Farm number 10 we're
gonna start the list off in Fiesta
village where this Mayan temple acts as
the centerpiece of Jaguar the ride
opened on June 17th 1995 and your ride
experience begins as you enter the
temple to find yourself in this indoor
queue for an exposed steel coaster the
queue is quite detailed which includes
Mayan sculptures and paintings on the
walls then once you board your train
you'll soon find yourself heading up one
of two lifts hills traveling along the
2,600 feet of coaster track with a
series of turns small bunny hills many
straight sections and an interactive
element through the loop
Montezuma's Revenge Jaguar creates a
thrilling experience that's not too
intense it's a really fun coaster for
the entire two-minute ride with drops of
just 45 feet Jaguar has a top speed of
only 30 miles or 48 kilometers an hour
so it's the perfect family-style coaster
to get riders ready for more thrilling
coasters at the park number nine
next we'll make our way into Camp Snoopy
where you can find Sierra Sidewinder
this roller coaster manufactured by Mack
rides opened on May 26 2007 and what
really makes it unique are the ride
vehicles as you ascend up the 62 foot
tall lift hill and drop only 39 feet
you'll soar across the coaster track
dipping diving and turning as you reach
a top speed of 37 miles or 59.5 km/h so
what's so special about these ride
vehicles well they are constantly
spinning this was the first model of the
coaster that used free spinning vehicles
and not a motor so the amount of
spinning will always depend on factors
like the weight in the ride vehicle it
definitely adds to the thrill but you
may want to pass on this one if you
aren't a fan of spinning rides it can be
a little much at times now Sierra
Sidewinder might be in the kids section
of the park but don't mistake this ride
for a kiddie coaster because it's much
more intense than it looks
number eight at the back of the park
you'll find the boardwalk and it's home
to the next ride on the list Coast rider
which is also manufactured by Mack rides
opened on May 25th 2013 replacing
perilous plunge Coast rider is your
typical wild mouse model roller coaster
which can be found in many other
amusement parks across the world after
your train ascends up the 52 foot lift
hill he'll drop 50 feet reaching top
speeds of 37 miles or 50 9.5 kilometers
and
before you know it you'll find yourself
passing through many sharp turns more
drops and even more twists and turns
with these wild mouse coasters they do
give you the feeling that you're gonna
fall off the edge as you approach each
turn which does add to the overall
thrill the entire ride lasts one minute
and 50 seconds and since it isn't too
intense and is definitely on the milder
side coast rider is another great family
coaster option at Knott's Berry Farm
number 7
next we'll head off into ghost town to
check out Pony Express this launch
coaster manufactured by the Italian
company Zamperla opened on may 22nd 2008
and is named after the historic Pony
Express Mail service now launch coasters
have been around for a couple decades
but what really makes this launch
coaster unique are the seat restraints
Pony Express is a motor bike style
coaster where you straddle the seats
like you would on a bike or in this case
a pony or horse Pony Express was one of
the first motorbike coasters to be built
in the United States and it takes you
from zero to thirty eight miles or 61
kilometers an hour in a matter of three
seconds the one downfall is the short
ride time of only about 40 seconds but
it's still an extremely smooth coaster
that definitely gives you a dose of
thrill and is a lot of fun number six
soaring 312 feet over the park it's hard
to miss supreme scream located in the
boardwalk this freefall ride opened on
July 3rd 1998 as the world's tallest
vertical drop right unfortunately it was
not able to hold the record for too long
but today it's still the tallest
structure at Knott's Berry Farm
once you're secured in your seat get
ready for the anticipation to build as
you're lifted 30 stories above the
ground after briefly stopping at the top
which in the moment does feel like
forever you'll then find yourself
traveling faster than freefall speeds
in a mere three seconds you're dropped
to the bottom reaching a top speed of 50
miles or 80 point 5 km/h supreme scream
has a right time of only 45 seconds but
it's more than enough time to get your
adrenaline pumpin and make you scream
number 5
back in Fiesta Village you'll find
montezuma's revenge which just happens
to be the oldest ride on the list
Montezuma's Revenge opened on May 21st
1978 and was the second roller coaster
built at Knott's Berry Farm now make
sure to keep your head back because
before you know it you're launched from
0 to 55 miles or 88.5 km/h in a matter
of 3 seconds you travel right into a
vertical loop make your way up to 148
foot tower then immediately travel
backwards through the entire circuit
passing through the load station this
shuttle loop coaster was only one of 12
manufacturers to this day it's the
oldest shuttle loop coaster still in
operation in its original park and out
of the 6 coaster still operating it's
the only one in the United States
Montezuma's Revenge is another short
coaster with a write time of only 35
seconds but with its launch vertical
loop and backwards motion it never fails
to thrilled
[Music]
number four making our way back to ghost
town
we'll find a silver bullet the B and M
inverted coaster Silver Bullet opened on
December 7th 2004 and is one of the
first things you see before you even
enter the park theme to the Old West
Silver Bullet takes you through 3125
feet of coaster track and the experience
is nothing short of exhilarating as you
make your way up to 146 foot lift Hill
with your feet dangling below you'll get
a great bird's-eye view of Fiesta
village then find yourself heading down
the 109-foot drop reaching a top speed
of 55 miles or 88.5 kilometers per hour
you'll fly across the track going
through a total of six inversions this
includes a vertical loop a cobra roll a
zero-g roll and two corkscrews now
Silver Bullet is a pretty smooth coaster
and not only does it offer some scenic
views of the park you join the two
minute and 10-second it also has the
most inversions on any coaster at
Knott's Berry Farm so if you're looking
for the ultimate thrill that will bring
you upside down look no further than
Silver Bullet number three staying in
ghost town we'll head over to the other
end of the land where ghost rider sends
you speeding through 4,500 feet of
lumber considered to be one of the best
wooden coasters in the world ghost rider
opened on December 8th 1998 and it's
beautifully designed each click up the
118 foot lift hill leads to a plunge
down a 108 foot drop where you reach a
top speed of 56 miles or 90 kilometers
an hour with a total of 14 Hills you'll
get tons of airtime as you fly across
the coaster track of this double out and
back design with the right time of 2
minutes and 40 seconds
you won't be disappointed with this
wooden coaster experience
in September of 2015 Ghost Rider was
closed to replace the track and add new
trains and when it reopened in June of
2016 it was as smooth as it was on
opening day in 1998 with this recent
refurbishment Ghost Rider is a really
enjoyable wooden coaster and it's sure
to satisfy any thrill seeker number two
next we'll head into the boardwalk to
take a look at the newest ride on the
list holding the title as the first dive
coaster in California hang time opened
on May 18 2018 replacing boomerang
towering 150 feet over the park your
train will make its way up the 90-degree
lift hill before you head down the drop
your train comes to a halt and hangs off
the edge before traveling down at a 96
degree angle this might just be one of
the best parts of the ride reaching top
speeds of 57 miles or 92 kilometers an
hour hang time makes you feel like
you're riding the ocean waves and
features a total of five inversions
including a corkscrew and a Cobra roll
the now-defunct boomerang also had a
cobra roll so this inversion on hang
time' does act as a little tribute to
the past whether it was intentional or
not for the entire 2 minute and 10
seconds experience you're guaranteed a
smooth and exhilarating ride as each
train maneuvers the twists and turns of
the turquoise track if you want the
ultimate thrilling experience

board your 57 Chevy make sure you really
keep your head back because within 2.3
seconds you're launched at 82 miles
or 132 kilometers an hour it's just
enough acceleration to travel up the 205
foot top hat element once you come
straight down you'll go around to
overbank

an end now this coaster looks fast but
you really don't realize the magnitude
of its speed until you're actually on
