Looks like the track is being repainted red instead of the original coral color. Interested in seeing if the trains get some new colors.

I had a great time at the farm yesterday. For a Saturday, it was surprising not as crowded as I imagined. It’s seems that the park is more busy the days following Christmas than before. Anyways, I still purchased fast lane and it was worth it. The cold weather made for some amazing night rides on Ghostrider, Xcelerator, and Hangtime. Ghostrider is breaking in and becoming aggressive! They’ve started assigning seats on Ghostrider which is pretty great actually as the queue looked to move more quicker as well as dispatch times. Overall, I loved the improved atmosphere this year. Knott’s continues to improve with each year and I definitely recommend fast lane for those going within the next two weeks.

You mean they are removing the magnetic brake run and reinstalling the block brake? You're joking right? They were reinstalling the block brake yesterday, I don't know if they're actually going to turn it on or not. I'm hoping it is to improve the pace at which they send out trains because operations are pretty slow. Or maybe it's for 3 train operations. That would be extremely useful during Merry Farm when the park is super packed.

GhostRider’s midcourse brake run is being reinstalled.

It would be great to see Big Foot Rapids get a Garner Holt type renovation. I know the ride is not as special as Log Ride or Mine ride but I think a nice revamp would make it more exciting.

Xcelerator has been closed for the past three days for what I hope is a minor issue or rehab. Realistically speaking, how many years left do you all see in Xcelerator future?

The park becomes a ghost town on weekdays usually around the last week of August through Veterans day. It gets real quiet right after Labor Day.

^ The Boysenberry Latte was pretty delicious.

Aside from Riptide what other flat ride has been removed from the park? Screamin Swing, Windseeker

Wipeout is back open. I’m glad it returned since the park lost so many flats within the past five years.

I was able to ride Hangtime 7 times yesterday and it blew my expectations. It's such a fun and well rounded ride with great airtime moments. Knott's did a great job!

Xcelerator has finally reopened!

Does anyone know why a giant section of Pony Express’s track is missing?

Hangtime is testing rn. It just completed its first test cycle.

Lol I’m watching the Boardwalk webcam as they’re moving it to different angles. It seems they moved it closer to the scrambler.

Sky Cabin is getting ready to reopen soon with new windows, a new ladder, catwalk, and queue.

Hangtime's lighting package is getting installed right now.

^ Same, I’ve never seen GhostRider’s like go further than the switchbacks outside. The line exceeded the Pan for Gold near the entrance. Luckily, I was able to do everything I wanted because of the season pass early entry.

I can’t wait! I love the color scheme, I hope they won’t make the midway even tinier though.

Hangtime track has already arrived at the farm. Some of it is sitting by the burned down fire station.

I was at the park on Thursday and for the most part, it was quite a ghost town. I love how despite not having a line GhostRider was running with two trains all day. That was pretty awesome.

The Sky Tower won't be removed and should reopen in the near future.

Hopefully the string lights return after the new ride opens.

Just got home from a great day at the farm. There was a maintenance worker on Sol Spin tonight. Fiesta Village really has a great atmosphere in the evening. The live music, string lights, and light packages really make for an awesome ambiance.

Interestingly, the Knott's website has been re designed.
