Xcelerator

Fun and punchy launch to start the ride and you get a nice pop of airtime over the top hat that ranges in strength depending on where you sit.

HockeyNinja

The force you get while being pulled over the top hat is insane, and the ejector on the drop completely throws you out of your seat!

Limitless Park

Few elements can beat a hydraulic launch, and xcelerator gives you that and an ejector filled top hat with only tiny comfortable lap bars holding you in.

Scott Quisenberry

You rise into the tophat giving fantastic airtime, once through the tophat; you will whiz through two overbanked turns.

Zach

...reason, Stealth at Thorpe Park, which has similar stats on the launch itself, felt less intense (the top hat felt much more intense though, I feel like I didn’t get much airtime on this tophat).

Kellen Grady

Of course it’s too short and the launch is not as punchy as either of their Stratacoasters or Stormrunner, but it’s still a very punchy launch and the whole ride is very smooth and lots of fun.

David

It’s a pretty smooth coaster, but it’s not perfect.

Limitless Park

Furthermore, the ride has extremely comfortable seats and restraints.

Zach

The restraints and seats are also very comfortable.

Gabe S

Really good for what it does though the turns after the top hat are a bit much for intensity especially since it’s not the smoothest.

Shmee

After the launch is over, there’s a short moment of straight jack that you feel the acceleration stop and it jerks you forwards a bit, but it doesn’t take away from the ride at all.

AustinCoasters

Velocicoaster has "better" launches in terms of their pacing and the continuity of the ride, but in terms of pure intensity, Xcelerator takes the cake.

Kellen Grady

If your looking for an intense, re-rideable coaster with an epic launch, than I’d definitely recommend heading out to Knott’s Berry Farm and riding Xcelerator.

Limitless Park

Xcelerator, while an extraordinarily intense ride, just doesn’t have much layout, as is standard on Intamin Accelerators.

Nathan F

That first launch is absolutely unhinged and easily the my favorite single element I’ve experienced on a coaster.

Eli Lassiter Michael

The 0-82 launch in just seconds is wild, and the intensity through to the end of the drop is definitely present.

Ethan Finn

I have rididin , rodden , ridded, Xcellerator at least 40 times and I still grey out after that first overbank.

@andymann1667

I was a bit worried that the hydralic launch would be uncomfortable but thankfully it wasnt painful at all, just really fast.

Ryan Armstrong

It’s extremely fast and intense, and catches me off guard every time.

Limitless Park

This thing launches you so fast that it feels like you teleport from the station to the highest point of the top hat.

joe m

Not only is the launch still one of the most intense out there, but the ride doesn’t just end after the top hat, instead going through a course of banked turns where you can really feel the speed.

Evangelion Martini

Even though this ride suffers thanks to its forceless overbooks and slow pacing at the end, the launch alone makes this ride amazing.

Francisco Perez

I really enjoyed Xcelerator, especially once the wait time got really short at the end of the day.

David

I understand that that’s what it’s supposed to be but I thought that it isn’t worth it for an 80 minute wait to have a 15 second experience.

Fsoer Realm

Big minus however for capacity; by Cedar Fair standards turnarounds are extremely slow even on a dead quiet day (5-min despatch is not unusual).
