All this Knott's talk got me excited. In my tenure as a mechanic for the railroad at Knott's I had the chance to do many things, including working on other rides. Here is a shot taken about half way up one of the neighboring rides "Supreme Scream" this is about 150 ft up. I took this one morning during inspections. Sorry for the poor quality it was a film shot.
