Contents 1 History 2 Design 2.1 Trains 3 References History Coast Rider opened on the former plot of Perilous Plunge, which closed on September 3, 2012. Coast Rider isn’t overly high at 52 feet, but it does the job, capturing the feel of a pier boardwalk roller coaster and is fine for families with children seeking a little scare. Coast Rider is a wild mouse roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, USA. It starts off smooth and climbs up to an unseen drop and then works back up to a series of switchbacks that turn the coaster just as the track disappears beneath. Coast Rider is an intermediate-thrill roller coaster in that it isn’t quite the ride-warrior caliber, but offers some nice thrills and surprises. The final ride of the new Boardwalk trio is just a saunter down the sidewalk. Emperor is the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in all of California, plunge 90 degrees and soar up to 60 miles per hour on the state's only floorless dive coaster experience the heart-pounding thrills of Electric Eel, a multi-launch coaster with high-energy twists, electrifying loops and inversions feel the thrill of this unique dueling roller coaster ride featuring high-speed. The attendants assist riders and steady the planes as needed. This was a delightful ride with only one deficit - it’s awkward to get in and out of because the glider is suspended from cables and moves easily, plus it hangs higher than an average step off the ground. Another feature is that the gliders, though small, can hold two riders, so a parent can fly with a child or siblings can share the experience. A large handle allows riders to move the glider’s sail from side to side, which changes the airflow and makes the plane fly higher, dip or maintain its position as it turns at up to 35 miles per hour around the center pole. This ride is modeled after the traditional rotating swing ride, but with a twist: Instead of swings, riders sit in gliders and can control some of their planes’ movements. ![]() The Surfside Gliders reside on the other side of the pier. This is a good ride for families, as it’s not too scary for kids, but it is not for the easily queasy. Riders are pushed to the outer edge of the seat as the cars run through a double circular pattern. On the left is the classic Pacific Scrambler, which makes riders feel they are being moved around by a mixer. The Knott’s Boardwalk area captures the feel of a shoreline pleasure pier with a summer color palette and a wooden walkway leading to two rides. As of January 2023, it remains the longest wooden roller coaster on the American West Coast as well as the Pacific Coast of the Americas. All three, plus a refurbished log ride, were launched last week, just in time for summertime visitors. After 12 years, the 115-foot water chute ride was dismantled to make room for three new rides at the Boardwalk. We won’t miss the always-gets-you-wet Perilous Plunge at Knott’s Berry Farm.
