Silver Bullet • Knott's Berry Farm

Love the part where it goes right over the water. High intensity. Great coaster.

Underrated.

good bnm invert, very intense but the reason intensity is also a con is because that final helix is brutal

Inversions Pace Fun

This ride is great! Super fun underrated invert! Im kinda tiny but not too tiny so the restraint kind moved a tiny bit during the ride and its inversions but other than that great invert!

Capacity Inversions Fun Intensity

I am getting up there is age, so sometimes these B&M inverts kind of make me feel....not good. That said, this ride is fun - it's nice to ride a "Non-Batman" invert and this one has a pretty good layout. I like the overbank right after the loop as well as the zero-g roll and twist right before the helix. If you are on this sight, you probably enjoy coasters and have a higher tolerance for positive G's than I do, and if that's the case this is a good, fun invert.

Location Fun Smoothness Dead spots

I really enjoy Silver Bullet, I think it's a really underrated invert. Sometimes, people will say this coaster is "boring," but the inversions are really fun, especially the corkscrews, and the location is top-notch. The zero-g roll and the element before the cobra roll (not really sure what to call it) are really fun, and the helix WILL make you grey out. However, I do think that the first drop is somewhat lackluster, even though fairly fun.

Airtimes Intensity Layout

This ride is nonstop, delivering great positive g's in the valleys of the coaster, throwing in great airtime moments, snaps, and a gray out helix. Even the sections that are not as forceful will deliver a fun time.

Inversions Intensity Smoothness

Probably the best coasters Knott’s has to offer, this ride is one of the smoothest and scenic in the park. It has a great location and the helix at the end is spectacular. Fun ride all around.

Amazing inversions great ride

Capacity Inversions Layout

I have to give Silver Bullet the edge compared to Batman clones regarding inverted coasters. The only downfall for this one is that the first drop is very shallow and doesn't feel intense compared to the more steep drops of Batmans. After you get through the first drop it does everything better than the Batman clones. The first drop may be shallow but once you hit that first loop you definitely feel like you're going a bit faster than Batman and the loop feels more intense. This ride is packed with inversions including a cobra roll that felt really great. I felt like this is a solid ride and I would definitely ride this one again. 4/5 stars

This ride is VERY FUN! I find it SUPER COOL THAT IT IS ON WATER and it is very picturesque! The INVERSIONS ARE NOICE and it is SUPER VERY SMOOTH!

Inversions Pace Smoothness

This ride is WAY too underrated, many think it's the worst B&M invert or it's not intense, but I think otherwise. I love this ride so much, it's super smooth and packs a punch every time. The second half of the ride with the 2 corkscrews and the helix are super intense as well, the corkscrews are snappy and the helix pulls so much force for me. I don't think there's anything bad about this ride.

Inversions Fun Intensity Discomfort

Very underrated invert. It really whips you around, and the layout is nicely done. It's also very smooth. Its intensity reminds me of Afterburn. I'm surprised this ride doesn't get more love. The only negative was that the intensity on the inversions made my feet really numb.

Fun Smoothness Layout Intensity

One of the weaker B&M inverts. It’s fun, glass smooth, and has a good layout. The thing is, it’s wayyyy too graceful. There’s zero snap or whip on the inversions. But it’s still an amazing ride. I loved flying through the park, and that helix over the water at the end was good.

Fun Smoothness Discomfort Dead spots

It is very smooth and fun but you might feel nauseous after the ride which causes a lot of discomfort, which is why I didn’t rate it a 5 star.

Excellent coaster. I didn't have any expectations for this before I rode it. It doesn't seem to get any love online. After riding it several times back to back, I'm not sure why. Full disclosure it didn't crack my top 3 B&M inverts,--it is 4th, just behind Banshee, but it is very close and this coaster is definitely worthy of consideration. It belongs in the debate. It is that good. I have no complaints at all. It is fast and smooth just as you would expect from a B&M Invert--except for Patriot. Excellent pacing and it delivers very good forces--perhaps just not quite as intense as the best of the best. It really is an excellent coaster.

Intensity Layout Duration Theming

Silver bullet is one of the most disorienting rides I’ve ever been on. Throughout most of the ride I didn’t know where we were going and I was greying out for most of the ride(that’s pretty hard to do). There are plenty of inversions and it has great speed. The only problem is the first drop isn’t great and is pretty gradual. Solid invert for sure though.

Bottom half of B&M inverts for sure

Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity

A really strong invert actually. Not as well themed as I would like it to be but the layout does work really well. It gets the strong positives that I miss on so many coasters right. A nice surprise was the overbanked turn after the loop which was really good floaty fun.

Airtimes Inversions Masterpiece Harness

The layout of this roller coaster starts out standard for an invert. The quick turnaround from the drop into an inversion. But the second half of this ride is just absolute fun on a bun. The dip near the water is beautiful, and the finale double corkscrew is my favorite element on any coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm.

Fun Intensity

Maybe it had just been a while since I'd ridden a really serious coaster, but this one felt super intense - in a good way. 6 inversions in 2.5 minutes is a lot after not going on a coaster more intense than the Incredicoaster for almost 2 years! Still, like this one a lot, I suppose I just wish it had a little more "fun" factor to balance out the really intense moments.

Up until recently I was one of this invert's strongest defenders. I had what was probably the most positive review of it in this platform, defending and finding the good in almost every aspect of this ride... however, after lots of thought and consideration, my love for it went down a TON... not really love anymore. While I think this ride is fun, smooth, and marathonable, I can't say it's the most forceful... the inversions this ride features aren't very intense. Some of them, like the zero g roll, provide a feeling of weightlessness, but most of them don't even provide a hint of gut punch or positive g force. This is due to the rides nonexistent whip... thanks to it's shallow drop, it doesn't have the momentum to speed thru the course providing amazing G force. So for almost all of the layout, the ride feels like a graceful flight... I will give props to B&M for including the amazing ending helix in the ride... you feel positives crushing you down, leaving you absolutely unable to move or think. If it weren't for this powerful ending, this coaster would honestly be completely forgettable ride experience wise. Shame it has a height requirement of 54 inches, because it would be a great ride for the little ones who enjoyed Jaguar... similar ride forces wise, just in inverted position, goes upside down, and with an intense ending. Also since this is Knott's, the ride will suffer from atrocious operations... I'd suggest waiting up until night when the rides a station wait because if it's lower than that then you're in for a 30 min or more wait

Nice surprise! Intensity Layout

Much better then I expected it to be. I had heard this wasn’t the most forceful invert but it definitely had some kick. The ride was one of the smoothest and most comfortable inverts I’ve done for sure. One moment that stood out was the first corkscrew that then went into a tiny turn. This was a moment where you just continuously rolled in the same direction and I wasn’t expecting it. Probably my favorite moment of the ride. Great invert.

I like that it's different from other inverts. While overall it's less intense, it does have that great final helix. It also has a few fun floaty moments that you don't really find on other inverts.

Inversions Comfort Intensity

Silver Bullet suffers from its first drop, which is not steep compared to other B&M inverts. However, after the drop the rest of the ride is good but not amazing. All the inversions are good, and the helix at the end is a fantastic finale to the ride. Overall, it is a great ride, but there are better inverts out there.

Inversions Pace Fun

Silver Bullet is more B&M awesomeness at work. Six inversions (I might argue seven because of how hard the stengel dive banks), two helices, great pacing, and a great location make this a fine invert indeed.

Intensity

This is a solid inverted coaster. Better than the Batman clones and Flight Decks. I need to ride this again to give a more in depth review, but one thing to note is that the final helix is by far the most intense part. That is a very fun moment. Also I lost my glasses on this coaster in 7th grade so RIP them.

Inversions Location Smoothness Theming

Silver Bullet is not a spectacular invert, but it doesn't really do anything badly. It has one strong overbank that feels like an inversion, that moment is particularly powerful. The corkscrews at the end are amazing. After the cobra roll, Silver Bullet does pick up in intensity. Silver Bullet is great, but not elite.

Fun Pointless

つまらないインバーテッドの方が、痛いインバーテッドよりもずっとマシだと思うんですよね

Inversions Location Smoothness

Really nice B&M Invert that's right at the front of the park. Having the first thing you see when you walk in being people skimming and flipping above the water really sets the tone well, and shows just how far Knott's has come from its humble origins. While it's a bit longer than Batman: The Ride, I found it to be a bit more mellow. This may disappoint some who're looking for something to blow Batman out of the water, but this ride is definitely no slouch. Whether you're looking to jump straight into the thrills Knott's has to offer, or catch one last ride that's on the way to the exit, Silver Bullet is definitely one of your best options.
