Six Flags parks sell a Flash Pass that holds a virtual place in line for riders. Universal Studios offers a Gate A front-of-the-line pass for an additional $45 at its Hollywood theme park and a similar Express Pass at its Orlando parks that costs $20 to $70 depending on the time of year. Knott’s is late to the line-cutting game. So far, none of Knott’s sister parks in the Cedar Fair amusement park chain has announced plans for a similar front-of-the-line pass. It’s too soon to say if the WindSeeker thrill ride, which will open at Knott’s in the summer, will become part of the Hate to Wait program, officials said. Knott’s officials said the eight Hate to Wait rides typically have the longest lines, noting that the pass may be updated to include additional rides if traffic patterns change. Of those rides, Xcelerator and Bigfoot Rapids can experience hour-plus waits during the busy summer months. The pass is decidedly low-tech, with employees marking off the Hate to Wait card each time a visitor boards a ride.Ĭuriously, Hate to Wait leaves out three coasters (Xcelerator, Jaguar and Montezooma’s Revenge), two thrill rides (Rip Tide and La Revolucion), two water rides (Bigfoot Rapids and Perilous Plunge), the Calico Mine Ride and all the Camp Snoopy kiddie rides. Those peak periods are likely to include weekends, holidays and long stretches during the summer months. Knott’s officials said the park will sell the Hate to Wait passes only on peak attendance days – and then only in limited quantities. That means you can ride Silver Bullet once and your friend can then jump on GhostRider, but neither of you can ride Silver Bullet or GhostRider again with a single pass. The transferable pass provides one-time-only, front-of-the-line privileges for each of the eight rides. Hate to Wait allows front-of-the-line access to five roller coasters (Silver Bullet, GhostRider, Pony Express, Sierra Sidewinder and Boomerang), the Supreme Scream drop tower, the Timber Mountain Log Ride and the Screamin’ Swing (covering the extra fee to ride Screamin’ Swing, normally $5). Sold at a kiosk just inside the main entrance, the optional line-cutting pass more doubles the $35 cost of admission to Knott’s (for advance tickets purchased online). The $40 Hate to Wait front-of-line pass made its debut in early December after a test run during the Buena Park theme park’s Halloween Haunt event in October, officials said. The dynamic mass and constant movements of neonates modifies the thermal environment at the burrow entrance such that the young can occupy a location that would ordinarily become lethally hot for an individual neonate (or even an adult).Knott’s Berry Farm has quietly begun offering a fee-based, line-cutting pass for some of its most popular roller coasters and thrill rides. For the first week or so of their lives, newborns literally plug the entrance to this burrow during daylight hours, forming a dynamic multiple-individual mass that takes advantage of the hot exterior environment and the cool interior of the burrow to maintain an average aggregate temperature of 32 ☌ (the optimal temperature for shedding). Following birth, the neonates mass together in their natal burrow. Newborn sidewinders have unique homeothermy (thermoregulation) behavior that has not been observed in any other type of snake. These snakes are generally lead a solitary life but may gather in groups during hibernation or denning hibernation takes place in the burrows of rodents or desert tortoises.
Sidewinder rattlesnakes can use sidewinding to ascend sandy slopes, allowing them to ascend up to the maximum possible sand slope without slip. As their body progresses over loose sand, they form a letter J-shaped impression, with the tip of the hook pointing in the direction of travel.
These snakes take their common name from an unusual form of locomotion. In order to stay cool, sidewinders spend most of their time in rodent burrows, the rest time is spend lying coiled up partially buried in the sand waiting on prey. They are nocturnal during hot months and become diurnal during the cooler months, which is roughly from November to March. Sidewinders are terrestrial snakes and rarely climb into vegetation.
