Well, this is Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm in California. It is a great ride, built by Intamin in 2002, it stands 205 feet tall and launches you 0 to 82mph in 2.3 seconds using a hydraulic launch system. If you want the type of ride, its an Accelerator coaster, and from what I've seen, im pretty sure its the first one. But ya, its just a great ride, it really gets you going, the Tophat after the launch gives more air than you would think!

Just ignore the background noise, its just me telling my mom to wait until I take the entire video. I took this video on my trip to California during thanksgiving so of course she wants to move on and do other stuff while I mess with my new camera

  • this is a rip-off version of the storm runner in hearshy park

  • How can the first of its kind rip off another coaster built after?

  • JUST A SECOND!!

  • Hehe, my mom was convinced at the time the log ride was open... Little did she know it was plagued with elfs and had no line (I hate the x-mas log ride...) Parents are an annoyance when you are busy doing something you love, like riding roller coasters or filming them <3

  • First hyraulic launched rollercoaster right?

  • Yup first of its kind, I can't say weather its the best since its the only one i've been on :(

  • Lmao, you're a dumb shit. Xcelerator opened in 2002, Storm Runner opened in 2004. How is that even possible that Xcelerator ripped off Storm Runner? Get's your fact's straight before you try talking shit.

  • Jmac0wns:

    I totally agree

  • no. Storm Runner is a rip off version of Xcelerator. Xcelerator was built in 2002 and Storm Runner in 2004. Xcelerator was the first hydraulic launch coaster, the others that followed copied the launch + top hat hill from this.

  • My favorite ride at Knott's by far

  • I have seen stealth, kingda ka, and to thrill dragster rollback, but never the Xcelerator...

  • Oh god, hell yeah it's fun!
