galindoverhere Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'd say buy it if you really are going to visit more than one CF park.. saves you more than what you expect since for example: I bought a CF Platinum pass last year, and used it at KBF, CP, and KD.. they saved me a beneficial amount of money...

Sir Clinksalot Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 ^ I know, but I'm still trying to figure it out is the problem. We have a plane ticket we have to use before Sept. and just trying to figure out where we are going to go with it. Guess I need to figure it out before WCB.

galindoverhere Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The Knott's site got the same makeover as the other CF websites. Check it out: http://www.knotts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyEisentrout Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Cedar Fair sent one of Cedar Point's engines, Jennie K, to Knott's to get refurbished. Wish they would actually refurbish it and send it back. Judy K and 22 are fun, and the Davenport will be fun this summer, but I'd rather have Jennie back.

jedimaster1227 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Knott's Berry Farm has sent us a press release regarding their special Valentines offerings for February! Knott’s Berry Farm will be celebrating the season of love this February with special activities for the whole family every weekend as well as discounted pricing when you bring a special someone. Knott’s believes that everything is better when you share it with someone – your friends, your kids, your date, so they invite guests to bring someone they love anytime during the month of February and receive park admission for only $34.99 each! This is a two-for-one special, because “Twogether” is better! And, if you are a Season Pass Holder you can bring a friend for only $24.99 during the month of February. Knott’s Berry Farm will also be teaming up with the American Heart Association for “Knott’s Has Heart.” When purchasing their tickets, guests will be asked if they would like to send a special Valentine to Charlie Brown for an additional $1, $5 or $10 donation. Proceeds from this special Valentine will go directly to the Orange County American Heart Association to assist them with their ongoing medical research and education efforts. Weekend activities for “Twogether is Better” include a brand new show at the Camp Snoopy Theatre “Love Is In the Air, Charlie Brown.” It’s Valentine’s Day and the Peanuts Gang is wondering who is going to invite them to the Valentine’s Day Dance. Will Schroeder ask Lucy to go? Will Sally’s Sweet Baboo, Linus, ask her? Will Charlie Brown get the nerve to ask the little red haired girl? This musical show is filled tales of unrequited love and enduring friendships. Camp Snoopy will also be the site of Cupid’s Craft Corner. Children under 11 can create special tokens for the ones they love including tissue paper bouquets, paper Valentines and Peanut’s coloring pages. Visitors to the Cupid’s Craft Corner can also try their skill at the “Target of Love” bean bag toss. Those looking to find that special someone while visiting Knott’s during “Twogether is Better,” just might be in luck. Knott’s cowboys will be on the lookout for unsuspecting guests who might find themselves involved in a Shotgun Wedding at Judge Roy Bean’s complete with marriage certificate and horseshoe wedding rings! Knott’s will also be offering some special “Twogether is Better” food deals including “Double Dawg Love” at Pink’s and a chocolate dipping station in Ghost Town. Guests can make their special someone’s weekend even better by booking Knott’s Sunday Brunch. Served from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm Knott’s Sunday Brunch offers dozens of menu options including a carving station, pasta station and omelet station. Reservations for Knott’s Sunday Brunch can be made by calling (714) 220-5055. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is this Chuck Henry's crew and van just before they were almost roasted in one of California's wildfires? Haha, that's what I thought of, too. Clever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's no ticket shack but it'll do. Being as they don't sell individual ride tickets anymore, the poor old ticket shack didn't serve any purpose beyond ambience, anyway--just another structure that had to be maintained. I agree that the new sign will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I agree wholeheartedly. I LOVED operating Mine Ride and It holds a special place in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm impressed the park actually built a sign...seeing how old the ride is itself. Nice commitment to the little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 3 payments of $20? I'm gonna take um up on that! Never knew "Roaring 20's" existed, that is pretty neat, maybe they can bring it back? I would love the Intamin Giga coaster as much as the next guy, but you also to keep in mind these rumors have been around pretty much since i joined the site, or maybe even longer!

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^There is actually a sign on top of the Buffalo Nickel Arcade that says "Knott's Roaring 20's"...A nice vintage touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie zueck Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Im sorry if this has already come up but does Knotts or SFMM bring in a higher revenue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^My guess would be Knotts. Knotts is: Cedar Fairs highest attended park, and I believe out performs Great Adventure, Six Flags highest attended park. 13th most attended park in North America. Has a hotel and shopping center connected to the park. Closer to the majority of SoCal/LA population. 10 mins away from Disneyland, one of SoCals biggest if not the biggest tourist destination. Open 364 days a year. And most importantly, Knotts has Halloween Haunt, a HUGE money maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^ CW was the highest performing park in the chain (one of the highest performing regional parks in North America). At least for the longest time it was. Not sure if it still holds the crown nowadays. SFGAm is the highest performing SF park (GAdv and MM aren't too far behind though).

Top Thrill Dragster Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 http://www.coastergrotto.com/theme-park-attendance.jsp Knotts has been out performing Canadas Wonderland every year since 2006. And SFGADV and SFGAM are pretty much tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^ CW was the highest performing park in the chain (one of the highest performing regional parks in North America). At least for the longest time it was. Not sure if it still holds the crown nowadays. SFGAm is the highest performing SF park (GAdv and MM aren't too far behind though). Cedar Point is the highest performing park in the CF chain, of revenue. Don't believe me? Check out Fun Forward. Side Note: Knott's is #2 in the highest performing CF parks.

tigers1985 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Does anyone else feel like KBF has just been leading us on about the whole hyper/giga? Or are they just spreading the rumor to keep SFMM from getting a giga? It's really starting to tick me off, hopefully SFMM beats them to the punch in 2013 and totally leave CF in the dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
