The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[disney4me2001]

Nice! Is it sad that the first thing I thought of when I read about Charlie Brown's Kite Flyer was that it's going to be a Windseeker Jr.?

 

So it looks like we were right about Log Peeler and Snoopy Bounce leaving, though I'm a little bit surprised at Charlie Brown's Speedway getting removed. But then again, I don't pay much attention to Camp Snoopy, so maybe someone can shed some light on this.

Looking good. Great additions to an already well rounded park.

I'm glad they've stuck with the "Camp Snoopy" theme as opposed to the more generic "Plant Snoopy" sections they've installed in other parks. The "Planets" are nice, but the "Camp" has more charm.

Looks great!

 

My little sister loved Log Peeler and Charlie Brown Speedway, but maybe I can get her to ride these new rides. Out with the old and in with the new!

Something tells me that social media falls outside of Knott's target demographic for camp snoopy. Cute attempt though. I could only imagine a 5 year old logging on to twitter.

I'm glad the new additions appear to be family friendly and can be enjoyed by everyone as opposed to being kids only rides. It does kind of seem like a lot of construction is going on at Camp Snoopy though for 3 rides with fairly small footprints that are clustered near each other. Perhaps existing attractions will be relocated? I'm not sure if they're using some creative license or not with the concept art, but it would seem like a few moves would have to be made to get the setup in the picture.

So does this mean Timberline Twister isn't leaving?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

^Maybe they are just finally removing the rest of the old playhouse stuff that was on the second level and are redoing the station ti fit in properly with the camp theme?

 

Here's to hoping!

[Mr Stratosphere]

Totally love this, love the direction the park is heading towards.

[XYZ]

Looks great. It's good that they are clearing out a few of the carnival-like rides for these rides. I do hope Great Skate gets removed or at least re-themed since it doesn't look that good.

They're targeting the parents.

This is great news!!

[RCjunkie]

Looks like another smart addition by Quimet and company for the chain.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Good news for Camp Snoopy. Good to see at least one park values its High Sierra-themed kid-friendly area.

[cal1br3tto]

Somehow I'm glad Timberline Twister is staying, even if I have no idea if I'll ever bother to ride it again. Maybe because I used to officially consider it my favorite kiddie coaster!

[cfc]

I, alas, was denied Timberline Twister because I was too tall, and I'm only around 5'8" or 5'9". Such is life.

That is great news that it is staying.

 

It sounds like I couldn't have ridden it even if I tried. Oh well.

[cal1br3tto]

Not to make a big deal of this, but I heard they used to make exceptions during coaster events, but eventually became completely strict. I wonder if it's not because of the design of the ride or train itself, but the surrounding trees (I touched one a few years back). Who knows.

[haydn12]

I'm surprised that they are removing Snoopy Speedway. That was always one of my kid's favorites and was a fun one to ride with them.

^^That's good to know.

[Guy T. Koepp]

Yeah, I got my Timberline Twister credit way back in 05 when they used to give special ERT during Solace.

Looks great.

 

These mini-additions under the direction of Ouimet are quite good. It doesn't take 25 million dollar coasters to improve a park *cough* Dick *cough*.

[rcdude]

The new Camp Snoopy additions should be great for the park, and it will be much better to have rides that everyone can ride than ones that restrict it to just kids. I am a little surprised that Charlie Brown Speedway is one of the attractions leaving, as that was one of the best rides in Camp Snoopy, but it does make sense as the ride doesn't fit the theme of the area and had a maximum height restriction. The rides themselves may not be particularly impressive, and I doubt I'll ever ride any of them, but this is much better than SFMM's 4th kiddie coaster.

A set of Zamperla family rides is always a good addition to any park.
