Let’s begin by comparing numbers of roller coasters and quality of roller coasters against each other. At Six Flags corner we have 19 roller coasters with the best being X2 a wing coaster that operates 20 stories high(200 feet), has a top speed of 76 mph, and with a track length of …show more content…
Again over in the left hand side is the one and only Six Flags Magic Mountain with their prices starting at only 42.99 for any child under 48 inches or 42.99 for a general admission tickets 3 days in advance. There is also season passes with the most expensive being gold for 129.99, but what are the benefits of gold you might ask? Gold season passes bestows onto you regular admission to all six flags theme parks in the entire free country, free parking, unlimited admission to hurricane harbor, special days when you can bring a friend for free, VIP early entrance, exclusive ride time events, admission to blocked dates during fight fest 2014, extra bring a friend ticket on select days, and no blackout dates. All that just for the low price of 129.99 for each pass. Wow, now that’s a steal for just the price of 129.99. Let’s see our competitor Knott’s Berry Farm and their …show more content…
We’re now going to take a look at what Knott’s Berry Farm has to offer for a drop ride. Knotts Berry Farm’s freefall ride Supreme Scream launches you up 254 feet and holds you there for three seconds until it comes down at a screaming 55 mph making it inferior compared to Six Flag’s Drop of Doom. Now how would Six Flags compare to Knott’s Berry Farm in the aspect of launched rides? Let’s find out with Six Flags SUPERMAN: Escape from Krypton, a vertical backwards launched steel roller coaster that’s connected to Drop of Doom that gracefully launches you 415 feet high at 100 mph and with a track length of 1,235 it’s one of the tallest roller coasters in the world. Now let’s see Knott’s Xcelerator. Oops, it looks like we already spoke about Knott’s only launch ride Xcelerator.
In conclusion: Knott’s Berry Farm is smaller and somewhat cheaper than Six Flags, but Six Flags has all the worthwhile rides, cheaper season passes, and doesn’t make you pay to get into a special event during Halloween. My personal choice would obviously be Six Flags. because of how much bigger and better it is than Knott’s Berry
