XK-1

XK-1
XK-1 was an Intamin Flight Trainer attraction at Knott's Berry Farm's Boardwalk area. The attraction opened to guests in 1989 and closed in 1997 to make way for Supreme Scream.

Ride synopsis
Guests board enclosed pods that wrap around a tower. As the ride begins, the pods continuously circle the tower and pivot upside down, making this a thrill ride. Then, the ride would stop and guests would get off the ride. In 1991, the ride was modified so guests could no longer go upside down but just circle the center tower.

Closure
In 1997, the ride's final year of operation, Cedar Fair bought Knott's and Cedar Fair closed Roaring 20's, the land XK-1 was in, thus the ride closed in 1997.

Aftermath
Eventually, Roaring 20's turned into Knott's Airfield, and then The Boardwalk, the present-day area. XK-1 was replaced by Supreme Scream in 1998.
