Really excited about this episode because Chris of Airtime Thrills was able to join in on the conversation! Chris was one of the lucky few who had the opportunity to ride Wind Jammer Surf Racers during it's short three year life span. It was great to get his thoughts and unique perspective of this problem-filled coaster.

Designed by coaster manufacturer, TOGO, Wind Jammer Surf Racers opened in 1997 as the first dueling Looping Wild Mouse coaster in the United States. This coaster was plagued with mechanical issues and suffered much downtime from the start. Due to it's unreliability and uncomfortable ride, Wind Jammer was not considered to be a crowd favorite at the park. The coaster closed for good in 2000 and a $17 million lawsuit was filed by Knott's Berry Farm thereafter claiming that TOGO poorly engineered the coaster preventing successful operation during its three years. Knott's Berry Farm ultimately loss the lawsuit and the coaster was torn down in 2001 paving the way for Xcelerator to be erected on the same site in 2002.
