I don't work at Knott's anymore, I had to quit to go on the Scandi tour with TPR. I'll be working as a monster this year for haunt though. That being said, I'll be free to enjoy the festivities .

Sealed bottles of water are 100% ok. Camelbaks should be fine as well as long as it's only filled with water.

Weekdays at Knott's during October are dead due to schools being in session, in addition to Knott's Scary Farm being around. However, be advised as the park will close earlier in the day in prep for haunt if you go Wednesday-Friday, but you shouldn't have a problem riding everything you want multiple times.

I'm still on Team Air Race, especially after riding one on the Scandi Tour.

Great shots Hanno, always a huge fan of your photos . I miss Liseberg and Pontus, such a great day of the tour.

The last few times I went, I didn't see Silver on the track at all. Why would that be? Was it in the shop all that time since JUNE 2013?! Kinda hard to believe... Oh well, glad ol' SIlvey's back. Silver has been in rotation since September 2013, must've been one train days when you went. Also Silver Bullet is back up to two trains now.

Just an update for anyone going to the park soon, Ghostrider went back up from rehab today with two trains running. Copper is out of rehab, so silver and copper are out on the track with gold in the shop.

Camp Snoopy should be opening the same day. Seems like all the cosmetic work is done, so it's just putting in the flats which shouldn't take too long as they've already started on some of them.

For anyone visiting the park soon, Zoom went up over the weekend so it should be up for near visits.

Thanks for your reply! On average, what are the wait times for the rides on a weekday? Are they ever over 60 mins? And how busy was it yesterday? According to the Knott's Website, Fastlane is available for presale on 21st, which means the park is expecting around 7,000 people minimum. However, 7k is still a very light crowd so I'd follow the advice of waiting until the day visiting to consider buying fastlane. As far as crowds go, yesterday our line at Ghostrider averaged around 20 minutes all day, and the budget was 11,000. This is pretty low because Ghost is one of the most popular rides in the park, and today our budget was only 5k. For the 21st, I don't think your crowds will be too bad, probably a 30-45 minute wait at the most for the more popular attractions in the park. I don't know if I'll be working that day, but if you get a chance, come stop by and say hi to me at Log Ride and i'll hook you guys up with a backdoor if I can. Wow thanks! You're awesome!! Since our dates are flexible (we get that whole week off) would it be better to visit on Tuesday or Wednesday, since its farther from the weekend and might have less people? Tuesdays seem to be the least crowded weekday, but it's only a minuscule difference. Just go whichever weekday works best for your party.

Glad you had a good day! Hopefully monte will go back up soon. Just found out last week I'm getting transferred to Log ride next weekend, can't wait . You know what your schedule will be for Sunday? This sunday ill be at ghost from 945-615. It'll be my last day there as my primary ride as I'll be training at Log Ride the next weekend.

No, silver bullet is still on one train operations unfortunately.

We only sell fast lane wristbands if the park is budgeted over a certain number (I believe it's around 7 or 8 thousand). If we don't hit that budget, we won't sell fast lane because it would be a waste of peoples money. Because of that, the days you are trying to buy fast lane for probably aren't budgeted high enough, and therefore they won't sell them online to avoid people wasting their money. However, if the budget changes to be high enough, they will be sold at the park on the day of operation. "Budget" is how many people the park is expecting to visit that day.
