I dont see how this would help the park anywhere near as much.
A) This would not expand the footprint of Knotts, no new walkways, and it doesn't even utilize the area past Ghostriders gate which is basically open almost half the year now anyways because its so packed. I've had a knotts pass for 18 years now and post covid the park is as busy as its ever been. Knotts needs some more breathing room.
B) Its ugly, this is not new knotts, this is old (2000-2012) knotts, ruins ghost town way more than the giga plans. The new coaster you wouldn't even see from ghost town main street, other places the coaster is just backdrop portrait . It doesn't go over any of ghost town.Taking out the bakery, taking away all those seats and on top of that having giant coaster track going both ways over what I think is one of the nicest paths in the park. All those trees and the fountain, its a nice place. Now you'll have coaster track going both ways. Over the ghostrider pre lift and queue too. Way more intrusive to the park (Not neighbors) than the giga plans
C) Its simply not quite what the park needs coaster wise (if its not 244ft and 165). Knotts doesnt need a another good mid-tier thrill coaster. It needs a stand out steel coaster, a show stopper, a Magic Mountain Killer. Thats the only thrill ride knotts needs left. After that they have enough and can just focus on families again for 10 year add a new dark ride, redo jaguar.
I'm ok with a decent sized hyped coaster not a giga but its gotta have the right integration in the park and be bigger than Goliath still.
