How many coasters does Knotts have?

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, features a total of 10 roller coasters. The lineup includes world-class thrills like the wooden giant GhostRider, the inverted Silver Bullet, and the high-speed launch coaster Xcelerator. For families and younger guests, the park offers Jaguar!, Sierra Sidewinder, and the recently opened Snoopy’s Tenderpaw Twister Coaster (which debuted in 2024 as part of the Camp Snoopy reimagining). One of the most anticipated developments for 2026 is the full return of MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress (formerly Montezooma's Revenge), which has undergone an extensive multi-year modernization and refurbishment. This mix of classic wooden structures, intense steel inversions, and modern family coasters solidifies Knott's reputation as a premier destination for coaster enthusiasts, offering a diverse array of experiences within its compact 57-acre footprint.
