You know... while the demolition crew is in the area, maybe let's do something about all of this???

So I made it to the Metrolink to Knott's on Tuesday. The ride was nice but I felt like I was riding in a one-third full 1980s Southwest Flight with no cabin service because of turbulence. The bathrooms were decent. The sign states drinkable water but I didn't test it, as I didn't believe it. I brought my own bottle of water. The train arrived a few minutes late but we arrived approximately on time due to 30-second station stops. I ended up walking to and from the Buena Park station to Knotts's so no added bus or Under fares on that end of the trip. I ended up with 25,000 steps and was buzzed enough to take Uber home from Riverside and I walked back the 3 miles today to pick up my car today to pick up my car from the station. A few notes: Camp Snoopy and Coasters Diner restaurants have re-opened There are new Fastlane scanners at all of the Fastlane attractions where you scan your one-time pass or bracelet and can't proceed unless you get a green light. If you get a red light, you can't go through. Single Prestige Pass Fastland passes still need to be redeemed in one of three stores and you can't just scan your pass at the ride and need to pick up a daily one-time use ticket from a store. There are no more ribs on the meal plan at either Ghosttown BBQ or Boardwalk BBQ. Pulled pork is also gone from Boardwalk BBQ Ghoasttown BBQ now gives two sides with entries where Boardwalk is still one side plus corn bread but Ghosttown has no boysenberry BBQ sauce still. The small railroad around the lake has a lot of rotted railroad ties being replaced I can's find Beatboxes at the park any longer Metrolink train Room for bikes or scooters Bathroom in each car plus drinkable water? The bathroom is larger than a plane bathroom. A total breakfast of champions, and only champions if you thought Maddog 20-20 or Boones Farm were also breakfast of champions. If Big Macs are $18, you can always get a Coke and hotdog for $1.50 from Costco or 2 roast beef sandwiches from Arby's for $6. There are new Fastlane scanners at the entrance to Fastlanes rides, this is La Revolution, so you need to scan your single-use pass or wrist band and you get either a green or red light letting them know for you to advance. This is pizza and a side salad from the pizza place by the Charles Shultz Theater. Ribs are off the meal plan for Ghost Town BBQ and ribs and pulled pork are completely gone from Boardwalk BBQ. It must have not been a price issue on the pulled pork as you can still get it as a sandwich at Ghosttown and tri-tip at Boardwalk. New camp Snoopy coaster. The lounge has 12 different free snacks for Prestige Pass members, free water, drink plan beverages, and a limited supply of alcohol that is not free or discounted from the normal park. I believe I had a white wine and some free Grandma's cookies. They had no Knott's snacks though. My local Winco had racks of Boysebenberry Knott's cookies for 28 cents. They could easily stock up before Beatriz discontinues the line! I asked maintenance if the log ride was close to being completed but no one had a date, but one told me there was still some work to be done and possibly not for a month or two but he wasn't sure. I guess all the log ride boats are hanging in line for Xcelerator? Knott's log ride door is open, so what's inside? I took all of the pictures from the doorway without stepping inside but this is the backside of fun. A spacious train ride home.

Yikes. That sounds brutal. I hope things turn around for you soon. - I totally get it though... I'm up to 4 jobs to support my bills and lifestyle, and it's not easy. It's a lot of sleepless nights, and a lot of insanely long days. I keep hoping I will wake up tomorrow and something will be different.... However that hope is starting to fade.
