## HangTime: Knott's Berry Farm's Vertical Plunge of Thrills
Knott's Berry Farm, the beloved Buena Park, California theme park, is renowned for its thrilling rides, delicious food, and rich history. Among its impressive collection of attractions, HangTime stands out as a true testament to exhilarating innovation. This dive coaster, a star attraction of the Boardwalk area, promises a unique experience unlike any other.
As the first dive coaster in California, HangTime holds a special place in the hearts of thrill-seekers. Towering 150 feet above the Boardwalk, this steel giant dominates the skyline, beckoning brave riders to test their courage. But HangTime isn't just about height; it's about the suspense. After a slow, agonizing climb to the top, the train pauses, suspended over a 96-degree drop – that’s nearly vertical! The breathtaking pause, hanging over the edge, creates a heart-stopping moment of anticipation before the exhilarating plunge.
The 2,189-foot track isn’t just a straight drop, either. HangTime delivers a dynamic ride experience packed with twists, turns, and inversions. Five inversions, including a negative-g stall loop, a corkscrew, and a cutback, keep riders guessing throughout the thrilling two-minute journey. The unique design of the train, with its open-air seating, further enhances the sensation of freedom and speed as you race through the air.
But HangTime offers more than just thrills; it also provides a visual spectacle. At night, the coaster’s vibrant lighting package illuminates the Boardwalk, adding to the park's vibrant atmosphere. This mesmerizing display creates a captivating backdrop for an evening of fun.
Knott's Berry Farm, the tenth most-visited theme park in North America in 2017 and the flagship park of the Cedar Fair chain, boasts 57 acres packed with entertainment. From its charming Ghost Town to the exciting Boardwalk area, there's something for everyone. And with the addition of HangTime, the park solidified its reputation as a destination for thrill-seekers and families alike. So, when planning your next visit to Knott's Berry Farm, make sure to conquer HangTime and experience the ultimate vertical plunge. It's an adventure you won't soon forget!
