Yesterday Matt found himself back in a familiar place, Silverwood, to get another look at Stunt Pilot. 

With some HUGE thanks to Carter and Stephanie from Silverwood, this time we didn't just get pics from outside the park, but were let behind the fence for a great tour of what is going to be an amazing ride! Let's head in!

Hello again Silverwood!

Last week we were out here

This week we're in here!!

This thing is beautiful

Any park that says they don't have room for a coaster needs to see this ride.

Picture

The queue is all under the ride area

Picture

Stunt Pilot will have the moving walkway system, not air gates

Stunt Pilot is right on top of the walkway

Timber Terror got a bunch of new wood on the helix - hard to get a pic, but you can see shiny new wood

Got to see Corkscrew's first test run of the season

Hi Knott's!!

To wrap up: 
  • Don't expect Stunt Pilot to open until closer to the end of May- they're still waiting on a control panel to arrive (that was delayed due to COVID) - then they'll have more of a solid timetable.
  • There is going to be a good amount of theming. Some hasn't been announced, some might not be until next year
  • There will be a tribute to Bob Heale, who was a big part of the air show days at Silverwood. The park is working with his grandson and there will be one of his planes, along with the Pitts Special (pics above).
​
And again, a HUGE thanks to Jordan and Stephanie for reaching out after our update last week and offering us this amazing tour. We are so thankful for stuff like this. We can't wait to see the rest of the rides construction and of course it's opening this Summer.
