We won't be getting anything over 230 ft... that's all I'll say for now...

If i'm not mistake the highest Dive Coaster is currently 223 feet.
I personally would not mind a dive machine as there's currently not one on the west coast. It would be a big draw for coaster fans. Eurofighter would be fine too but it wouldn't be as big of a draw.
I wouldn't mind a dive machine either, but I was hoping Six Flags would pick it up first. After all that seems to fit their clientele. I really don't want to see Knotts get it.
A Eurofighter would be way better, but they should save it for Silver Bullet's replacement. That would be a better use of small space.
I'd like to see a Eurofighter eventually come to Knotts as well but not to replace Silver Bullet. I think the north east (or lower right if you're looking at a park map) section of the park would make a great area (1.3 acres) to put a Eurofighter. They can easily transplant the existing kiddie rides in that area to other parts of Camp Snoopy.
ALSO, Construction walls current going up around Boomerang. I expect we'll see something announced sooner than later.
I don't think they'll announce the new ride until November. They don't want to discourage people from coming this year.
Don't expect a traditional hyper coaster as well.
RMC is posting pics of track for the first ever Raptor concept coaster being constructed (but hush about where it's going). Those are designed to allow a huge amount of track in a small space. I would not count that out for Knott's as well.
The past few years Knott's has made announcements in late spring early summer for the next year's attractions.

No Raptor track either, the capacity on those is not something KBF wants.... and not a dive coaster! So rest easy my friend.
EDIT: Longshot here, but worlds first hyper woodie? RMC style with inversions?
