Wooden Roller coasters tend to be jarring so I personally think starting with Jaguar or Pony Express is a great start. While some might disagree with HangTime being “small” I will tell you that it was better that we started with that instead of GhostRider. You and your kids can ride as many times as you want, all day long. Fast Lane wristband gives you priority boarding on select rides, including Calico River Rapids, HangTime, GhostRider, Voyage to the Iron Reef, Montezooma’s, Pony Express and more. It eliminated the apprehension and made them feel special and honored for the day. Knowing that my kids had a fast lane bracelet not only added to their excitement but it allowed us to make the most out of our day. Standing in a long line can add to anxiety and nervousness. There are several ways to do this but one of my favorite ways to make my kids first time riding a big roller coaster special is to get them a FAST LANE PASS! This is a total game changer. Here are some ways to make your child’s first time riding BIG roller coasters at Knott’s not only special, but a success! Tips on Riding Big Roller Coasters Knott’s We only conquered one ride that day due to time constraints but since we have an annual pass we decided to come back a few days later with a game plan. She kept her eyes open the whole time and she rode that roller coaster like a boss! My girl was so thrilled with herself when we got off the ride I literally had flashbacks to when I was a young girl. The employee was really good about letting her see how secure her seat belt and lap bar were and gave her a high-five as she left the station. Then just like that everyone else on the ride started cheering her on! This made her feel so brave and empowered that she quickly ran to her seat and sat down.
A sweet employee sensed her hesitation and crouched down next to her and told her that she would gain the title of “Queen Of The Park” if she rode it.
Well, she was extremely conflicted because she wanted to ride it but her anxiety was starting to take over. She shed a few tears and my husband and I told her that if she wasn’t ready she could skip it and try again another time. While we were walking through the queue for HangTime she suddenly got very nervous (Just like me on Corkscrew). Go big or go home! Understanding Employees Are Keyīefore I show you her reaction to the ride, let me share a sweet story that happened. I asked her what she wanted to ride first and she said “A lot of rides” LOL. We ran into Ghost Town and measured her at Ghost Rider! Sure enough she was good to go! I was probably more excited than she was.
You can bet the we drove to Knott’s first thing in the morning the next day to double-check the measurement. Well guess what? It finally happened last week!!!! My husband measured her with a tape measure and she was exactly 48 inches. Unfortunately she was just shy of 48 inches so I have been taking my friends’ kids on instead while we wait for that magical day. (We got to ride it 4 times in a row without getting off one day as they were filming a promo). Being a Berry Blogger definitely has its perks and I wanted so badly for her to experience the thrill of riding HangTime last year when it opened. The boys love roller coasters and I have been waiting patiently for my daughter to grow so she can ride the BIG roller coasters with me at Knott’s. I have two teenage sons and an 8-year-old daughter now. I ran to my mom and she gave me the biggest hug in the world! After that I became an adrenaline junkie and I am still one to this day!įast Forward to 30 years later. It was an exhilarating ride it and I remember smiling so big and being proud of myself after I got. I still remember the sound of the chain lift and the way the padded shoulder harness felt. I remember standing in line and staring at the big blue helix track thinking “I can totally do this” and “That looks like so much fun”! I was filled with anticipation, nervousness and excitement all at the same time. She was not the adventurous type so she kindly asked a stranger in line if they would ride with me. I was about 10 years old and I remember begging my mom to take me on it. For me it was Corkscrew at Knott’s Berry Farm. Do you remember the first BIG roller coaster you ever rode? I bet you can remember every detail down to the color of the track.
