Thanks for your reply! So, even though the "PURCHASED BY:" name on the ticket is my parent's name, they will still let me in?

Hi guys, I have a question regarding the tickets for KBF. So I already purchased Knott's e-tickets online and printed them out. However, I noticed that on the bottom it says that photo ID may be required for entrance. Does the photo id have to be of the purchaser of the tickets? Because my parents (who purchased the tickets) have to work that day so I am driving there with my friends. The same situation with our fast lane passes...does the id have to be of the purchaser? If that is the case, then what should I do? Will they still let us in? Because I know for a fact that my parents cannot take a day off that day.

We spoke to a manager while we were there (on 4/5) who told us (we had mentioned the ride in conversation but didnt ask why it was down, she offered it) that Montezooma is just in rehab and will reopen soon, its not going away at least for now. Just like any shuttle, there's only one train so when it goes to rehab the whole ride shuts down. I know what people usually think of "park employee told me ______" but for what it's worth this wasnt a casual hire teenager, she was senior and she didn't sound like she was guessing in the slightest. Also your post doesnt really make sense. The ride is already down, if it were being dismantled, how would one get a ride in soon? How long will it be down for? We are going next monday 4/21/14 and i really hope that it will be open by then. Weird that knott's website doesn't say anything about it.

Do the fast lane passes usually sell out quickly if they aren't pre-purchased? Do I have to buy them during the morning before entering or would they still be available if for example the crowds get unbearable midday?

How do the fast lane passes work? Is there a separate line entrance? Last time I went there was no fast lane pass, and I can't imagine how they would modify the queues to incorporate it.

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?

So I've been watching this thread for a few weeks now...since I live 10 mins away from KBF so it's my home amusement park. My friends and I are planning a trip during spring break. Our school's spring break starts the week after Easter Sunday, so right now we are planning to go on Monday, 4/21. We're debating whether we need fast lane passes for that date. Does anyone know normally how crowded Knott's gets during the week after Easter? I suppose that many other schools will be also on spring break, and its been 4 years since I went to KBF and I probably won't go again for a while, so I want to buy it. But I don't want to waste my money if I don't have to. Any thoughts?
