Vlog 17 - My Day at Knoebels
It took me many years but I finally made it to Knoebels in Pennsylvania! This was their opening weekend and I was delighted to see that Flying Turns, their wooden bobsled coaster, was open! I also discovered the addictive Fascination game which consumed about an hour (park was only open from 12-6 that day). #knoebels #rollercoaster #themepark #amusementpark

Fascination at Knoebels
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.4 месяца назад
I went to Knoebels to ride the roller coasters. I got a little sidetracked by this hybrid skeeball/bingo game called Fascination. Essentially, you roll a rubber ball down an alley and it lands in a hole on a 5x5 grid. The hole corresponds with a light on the board. The goal is to be the first to get five in a row as you're playing against everyone in the room! #knoebels #games #fascination

My objective was to get the last two credits I couldn't get on my previous visits and of course to ride X2. I do go on a bit of a rant regarding the one train operations on a lot of their coasters. And yes, I do realize it is March and not technically off-season but the lines didn't scream "off-se...

    I’m planning on hitting Hersheypark for the first time next year. Too bad you weren’t taken with SkyRush. I can see how maybe it has been overhyped. Sounds like Stormrunner is a temperamental ride that is not super reliable. Kind of like other launched Intamins. The coaster I look forward to riding most there is SkyRush, but even if I’m let down like you were, I know there are many other great coasters there, like Wildcat’s Revenge and Candymonium.

  • @Hangtime_Davi64
    @Hangtime_Davi64 5 месяцев назад

    One thing I noticed about one train ops: it isn't always that the park thinks they only need one train. Sometimes they just only have one train ready by the start of the season. Goliath at SFOG didn't have two trains running until late May-ish, but you could see the second train parked in the garage in pieces. Similarly, Batman the Ride and Great American Scream Machine were both running two trains even though they didn't have a line. It seems like some of these parks (Six Flags especially) just don't finish their off season maintenance and get everything up to full capacity until summer.

    • @impracticallychristopher
      @impracticallychristopher 5 месяцев назад

      I think some of the issue is that Six Flags has made people like me cynical with their past decisions that have for better or worse colored my impressions of current decisions. I definitely agree that some of it is out of their hands but I’m sure some of this is motivated by cost savings. It’s hard to truly know.

    • @Hangtime_Davi64
      @Hangtime_Davi64 5 месяцев назад

      @impracticallychristopher You're most likely right. There are plenty of rides that running a second train wouldn't require more staff, but they never get a second train until the line gets way too long. In some cases like that, it certainly seems to be a conscious choice.
