The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

Lot's of work going on in Camp Snoopy, saw a Garner Holt Employee at the Cafeteria today too. Just a heads up for anyone coming to the park soon, Ghostrider will be going down for maintenance at the end of the month.

Its also possible Monte's train was further down towards the loop, they could have had it pulled out of the station and out of site from the walkways, have seen this happen before where there appeared to be no train in the morning and it was open a few hours later.

My Knott's Pass just expired and I probably won't be going back until I can renew my pass sometime fairly soon. Can anyone elaborate on where the work specifically is in Camp Snoopy?

Knotts Network posted a photo of Timberline Twister's station being torn down, it looks like the ride is leaving.

Well, they seem to be taking care with how they are removing wood. Maybe it will stay? I kind of hope it does, only because its a really unique ride and packs quite a fund ride for kinds in a really small space.

I'm really excited to see what Camp Snoopy will look like. I'm definitely loving the direction Knott's is taking.

Well if it is, I hope SF Corp buys it and sends it to SFStL so they can have their much needed Kiddie Coaster lol! I know that's not going to happen, but its nice to dream lol. I just hope it isn't scrapped, if it is being removed.

It is pretty old. Wouldn't be surprised to see it scrapped.

The old Snoopy Bounce House is not on the KBF map so maybe its leaving.

^ The large inflatable Snoopy that sits on top of the bounce house has been gone a for quite a while now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it removed.

From what I've heard, Snoopy Bounce, Log Peeler, Joe Cool's GR8 SK8, and Timberline Twister are leaving and a new family coaster and 2 new flats are replacing them. Of course, none of this has been confirmed so take it with a grain of salt.

Was Timberline Twister that...bad? Or not popular at all?

I don't remember it being there very long.

^ Every time I visited Knott's (even on some very low-crowd days) Timberline Twister has quite the line. I don't know if it is the capacity, but families are almost always lined up for it. It's a very good kiddie coaster, but is aging and getting rough.

AH, Yes ^ I do remember the last visit in...1996.

And TT was, for it's short cycle, a pretty rough one

to get through. I stand corrected.

This makes me really sad. I'm pretty sure this is the first roller coaster I've ever been on.

KBF sure didn't waste any time!

Bummer, I liked Great Skate.

Maybe a few of those kids stuff will go to California's Great America? Either them or Michigan's Adventures.

I could easily see GR8 SK8 leaving because the capacity is crap and nobody ever rope that thing anyway. There may be no point in taking out Log Peeler however. It's literally the smallest flat ride I've ever seen and I have no idea what would go in place of it as there's a food stand nearby and a shop right next to it.

^I agree with the above. Log Peeler seems to blend well with the High Sierra theme and it is very small in space. I see no point in getting rid of it.

I haven't hard any rumblings about possible rides except the following: I've heard that they are going to invest a LOT of money into this and they may build the mountain that was originally planned for Sierra Sidewinder. I still think a small dark ride is mildly possible.

Yeah, I agree that Log Peeler fits in really well, though it's no big loss if it's removed.

Timberline Twister was one of the more lively kiddie coasters, but I guess I have no reason to miss it. It will be interesting to see the new developments; I like the rumors but so far the truth seems pretty well-concealed.

So Log Peeler was a Mini-Scrambler, I see...never would've guessed that from the name. Gr8 Sk8 seems like the kind of ride that could still be marketable in other parks--not too different from rides still being added elsewhere.

Wow, I can't believe we skipped Timberline Twister when we were there about two weeks ago. The line was too long so I figured I'd pick it up next time I was there.

Never look a gift kiddie credit in the mouth - whatever that means

Ill be satisfied only if they keep the Huff and Puff - the closest thing to manual labor these kiddos will ever have to face.

^^Are you under 69"? If not, there is no way you could ride Timberline Twister as the park has been very strict about the height requirement in my experience.

The main reason I can see Log Peeler being removed is because Pacific Scrambler has the same minimum height restriction (as long as you're accompanied by an adult). The ride's footprint is probably big enough to accommodate most basic kiddie rides (such as Zamperla's catalogue), but even that would be a bit of a tight fit.

2014 marks the beginning of an exciting time in Knott’s history as its treasured Camp Snoopy celebrates the big 3-0 with a complete restoration of the entire land! Today, Knott’s Berry Farm is proud to announce the three new rides coming to the land of High Sierra fun: Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer, Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies and Linus Launcher. The addition of the three new family rides, built by Zamperla, demonstrates Knott’s commitment to reinvestment in one of the most beloved children’s areas ever created.

 

- Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer invites campers to “fly a kite” with Charlie Brown and soar above the land’s winding paths and babbling streams – but watch out for the kite-eating tree! This 32-passenger adventure allows guests to sit side-by-side on 16 swings for a spin that whisks riders up to 18 feet above the ground. As the tree rises, good ol’ Charlie Brown is revealed upside down and all tied up in kite string! Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer will replace Snoopy Bounce.

 

- Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies lets tykes climb aboard their very own all-terrain vehicle for an adventurous ride around the High Sierras. Six four-seater ATVs will spin, bounce, and bump up to 24 guests at a time, while Pig Pen looks on from his center perch. Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies will replace Log Peeler.

 

- Linus Launcher recreates that classic Peanut’s moment when Snoopy grabs Linus’ blanket and launches him on a wild ride. On Linus Launcher, guests lay on one of twelve “blankets” as they fly round and round. Up to 24 guests lay side-by-side while Snoopy launches them up almost 10 feet in the air. Guests will enjoy a Woodstock’s-eye view of Huff ‘n Puff, The Grizzly Creek Lodge, and all of Camp Snoopy below! Linus Launcher will replace Charlie Brown’s Speedway.
