Xcelerator More Xtreme???
Submitted By: bb_dg on 12/20/2001 3:09:00 PM
This ride WILL feature inversions as well as a spiraling drop (not 90 degrees as pictured in the artists conception). Definately sounds more extreme!!!!

"This new coaster will be one of the largest single investments in Knotts Berry Farms history, and it will bring a whole new level of thrill riding to the park," said Kinzel. Designed and manufactured by Intamin International of Switzerland - the same firm that created Cedar Points Millennium Force - Xcelerator will launch riders smoothly from zero to 82 mph in only 2.3 seconds and then will climb to a height of 205 feet before spiraling down a 130-foot inverted drop. The continuous track will then race through a series of inversions, banks and turns.

Thanks for finding the info. Coming from the Cedar Fair website means it's more than just a pithy rumor
