Knott’s Berry Farm Boardwalk Expansion and Log Ride Refurbishment

Snoopy is hard at work!

From funnel cakes to Boysenberry juice to being held up on the train to Camp Snoopy, all of us probably have favorite memories of the little gem in Buena Park, America’s First Theme Park, Knott’s Berry Farm. Knott’s will soon unveil their huge new expansion in the Boardwalk section of the park. Crews are busy at work prepping the new area for it’s grand opening Memorial Day Weekend. Here is what’s coming:

Coast Rider: This brand new roller coaster will have a 52 foot ascent and a fast drop along 1,339 feet of track filled with hairpin turns, twists and spins. It’s a wild mouse coaster taken to new “heights!”

Surfside Glider: Guests will ride to a height of 28 feet in two-man aircraft and zip through the air, all while being able to control the back and forth movement. It’s a classic amusement park ride that will be a perfect fit down at The Farm.

Pacific Scrambler: You may recall last seeing this by Bigfoot Rapids at the Wilderness Scrambler. It’s now returning almost to it’s original spot when it was known as the Whirlpool.

Boardwalk at Night

This area will look beautiful at night!

Can you tell how excited Snoopy is for all of this new stuff? All of these new attractions are family friendly.

The Coast Rider was assembled in about a week by a crew working at night, which allowed the day crew to continue preparing the concrete work for the other rides.

And just when you thought all the Boardwalk fabulous was enough, Knott’s is also updating the Timber Mountain Log Ride. This classic ride, which is the first ever fully themed log ride attraction, is getting some loving care. This includes replacing all of the human figures with new animated figures as well as many of the animals.

The picture above will soon be featured in the part of the ride seen below.

There are many other surprises to be seen in the updated Timber Mountain Log Ride. Come see it, when it reopens on May 30th!

Knott’s Berry Farm has always been a great value for families looking for a day or even a season of fun. Consider picking up some season passes and for a few bucks more, get Knott’s Soak City included with it. This could be a summer the kids never forget!

2013 Season Passes are available for only $72.00 or 6 easy payments of $12.00 for a limited time. Knott’s Season passes have no blackout dates.·

Knott’s Berry Farm Canned Food Drive and Fire/Police Recognition Days

I love a great deal, especially when it involves doing something good for the community. Knott’s Berry Farm is doing just that! From now until January 31st, Knott’s is hosting a canned food drive and a Fire/Police Recognition Month.

Knott’s Berry Farm has partnered with the Orange County Food Bank to help the community. To adequately serve the growing list of those in need, Knott’s Berry Farm is asking every guest to donate 2 or more cans at the park January 7-31 and in return will offer a Regular adult admission for the price of $28.99 and Junior (ages 3-11)/Senior (62+) for just $25.99. This special discount offer saves $31 off of the Regular admission which is $59.99 for adults (over age 11).

Now through January 31, 2013, Knott’s will honor all those who protect life and property with Fire and Police Recognition Days. FREE admission to the park will be offered to all active fire and police personnel and one guest. Plus up to six additional tickets can be purchased for only $19 each.

A friend just visited the park early this week and said she had a great time. The rides had little or no waits and the weather is perfect for trekking around. For additional info head here.

Thanks Angie for sharing the info!
