Xcelerator Roller Coaster @ Knott's Berry Farm - 82 mph in 2.3 sec

XCELERATOR!

Happy Holiday everyone! While on vacation in Los Angeles, I had a chance to visit Knott's Berry Farm, a theme park popular with the locals and with a reputation for great rides, and great fried chicken.

The 'old west' themed park features many attractions modeled in the western style, but also includes modern entertainment like the Xcelerator roller coaster -- a high speed 82 mph ride.

View a video I took during my stay at Knott's. I had a chance to ride Xcelerator twice, on a day that had minimal lines (wednesday), and due to the rainy weather, which thankfully cleared up.
