QuikQuote: "It's given us a fabulous addition to our critical mass," says Knott's spokeswoman Susan Tierney-Dust of the park's seventh roller coaster. "It boosts us up into a thrill ride park as well as a family and kids park. It just brings us more into the realm of having an overall experience for any member of the family." The only rides comparable along the West Coast are Batman the Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia and Top Gun at Great America in Santa Clara. But Silver Bullet beats each of them when it comes to height, track length and top speed. "You can actually stand under portions of the track and not hear the train coming," Tierney-Dust says. "It's extremely quiet, especially when you're talking about a steel roller coaster."
