What's new

Knott's Berry Farm | HangTime | Gerstlauer Infinity

Yeah I knew the other inversion I was missing out was either gonna be in the first thing or that big overbank. They both seemed a bit borderline on the video so I just wasn't sure.
 
Yeah in that construction tour video he states that the first element is two inversions, the overbank is definitely extremely close though. It's also pretty interesting to note that the lift hill will actually be next to Xcelerator, I guess it just doesn't appear in the background of the rendered images.
 
Hangtime is vertical:

Looks like it'll blend in with the area nicely!
 
Looks pretty good! Looks like it might have the Monster-style track lighting too which would be a great touch to go with the surf theme...
 
I like how they put in a cobra roll as a reminder of boomerang that was once there. It faces the same direction and is about in the same place. Also, this ride kind of reminds me of the second half of the smiler. Just a bit!
 
Nothing to do with them wanting to make a longer track length, ride time, inversions and turnaround within a restricted space? That's the most plausible explanation, as much as they say different.
