Xcelerator, Steel roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, California, US.
The Xcelerator reaches speeds of 82 miles per hour and climbs to a height of 205 feet through its hydraulic launch system along a bright yellow track.
Opening in 2002, this Intamin-manufactured roller coaster replaced the previous Windjammer Surf Racers attraction and cost 13 million dollars to construct.
The trains feature a design inspired by 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertibles, reflecting California's strong connection to automotive and racing culture.
Riders need to measure at least 48 inches in height to experience this high-speed attraction, which operates with two trains carrying 20 passengers each.
The hydraulic launch system employs pressurized oil to accelerate riders from zero to maximum speed in 2.3 seconds, creating intense acceleration forces.
