How many coasters are at Knotts?

There are ten roller coasters at Knott's Berry Farm. The Silver Bullet (54 minimum) is an inverted coaster with a 109' drop. The Xcelerator (52 minimum) hits 82mph in 2.3 seconds. The Boomerang (48 minimum) fits six loops into a minute, then sends you through them backwards.



As of early 2026, Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, operates 10 roller coasters. The lineup includes a diverse mix of thrill levels, ranging from the family-friendly Jaguar! and the newer Snoopy’s Tenderpaw Twister Coaster (opened in 2024) to the extreme thrills of Silver Bullet (an inverted coaster) and HangTime (California’s first dive coaster). One of the park's most iconic rides, Xcelerator, continues to provide high-speed launches, while the legendary wooden coaster GhostRider remains a fan favorite after its extensive re-tracking. It is worth noting that the historic Montezooma's Revenge is currently undergoing a massive reimagining and is often listed as "under renovation" or "SBNO" (Standing But Not Operating) as it is transformed into Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress. Including this classic shuttle loop, the park technically has 10 distinct coaster structures on its 57-acre property, maintaining its reputation as a premier destination for Southern California coaster enthusiasts.
