HangTime, Steel roller coaster in Buena Park, California, United States
HangTime is a steel roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Its teal track with tan supports rises into a vertical loop, descends through a curving section, and climbs a 150-foot (46 m) vertical lift hill. The 2,198-foot (670 m) layout includes five inversions, among them a negative-g stall loop.
Knott's Berry Farm announced HangTime on August 16, 2017, and it opened on May 18, 2018, after season passholder previews from May 11. Built on the former sites of Boomerang and RipTide, it was the second Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster in the United States. The park marketed it as the first Dive Coaster in California.
The structure draws on beach and ocean motifs from California's coastal culture. Surfboards, wave patterns, and maritime colors appear throughout the queue and surrounding plaza.
The ride operates with three trains carrying 16 passengers each and moves up to 800 people per hour. First-time riders should expect shorter wait times in the morning.
At the highest point, the train pauses for five seconds before releasing into the descent. Speeds reach 57 miles per hour (92 kilometers per hour) during the drop.
