Title: Xcelerator Ride Fails at Knott's Berry Farm (Same ride as TT Dragster/Kingda Ka)
Post by: ManaByte on September 24, 2009, 06:55:04 AM

It's basically a smaller version of Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point or Kingda Ka.

This is why I don't like rollercoasters.  (one of many reasons)

Xcelerator has misfires sometimes, too.
I went on it the day it was opened.

One time my friend was one Supreme Scream. His safety bar never locked in, so when he got to the top, it came up all the way.
Did a little yelp and pulled it down again.
He rode it 3 more times that day

The main reason is that you're a pussy.
