Dating back to the 1940s, the venerable Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, is known for its Old West Ghost Town and classic themed attractions such as the Timber Mountain Log Ride (one of the earliest log flumes) and the Calico Mine Ride. But the park also is home to some wild thrill rides, including a posse of fearsome roller coasters.
For the latest addition to its midway, Knott’s embraced its wild side and debuted HangTime. The 150-foot-tall “dive” coaster pays homage to Southern California’s surfing culture and offers features not found on any of the state’s other thrill machines.
