The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[rcdude]

Sent in an e-mail last night. I really enjoyed doing the Boardwalk film shoot back in May, so hopefully I get a chance to do this one as well.

[the ghost]

Email sent(but due to OCDish natures may be resent... Sorry Robb) but this sounds like an awesome way to end the summer!

[Luis Mercado]

Do you have to get aproved by Robb to go or do you just show up?

[Jew]

You need to get a confirmation e-mail.

 

A physical description or personality?

 

I am going to guess personality, since Robb also asked for a photo (which takes care of the physical description part).

[Luis Mercado]

its cancelled!!!!!!!!

^ Don't be obnoxious! It happens and sometimes things are just out of their control. Next time we won't invite you.

I really hope the tv shooting gets reschedued for what i 've been told it looks like alot of fun!

[Nyteowl]

Xcelerator is back up. Only the red train is running, purple train is still on the transfer. Enjoy it at WCB, and hopefully purple train will be back up soon .

That's great news! Thanks for the update!

[Blue Fire Guy]

^^ Yay! Even though it's only single train for now, I'm just happy it's running again and I'll be able to ride it for the first time at WCB. Kudos to Knott's for all the hard work to get it back up as quickly as possible!

[cmullin]

Last year at WCB, wasn't Xcelerator running only one train? Still got quite a few rides on it, even though I got sick and missed the evening ERT.

[Angry_Gumball]

When I went to Knott's back in April, it was running 1 train. With how quick the ride was length-wise, the single train didn't really bother me. Not saying that Xcelerator crew was slow or anything but I kind of feel like I'd be spending just as much time waiting in the brakes (in 2-train op) as I would be waiting for the next cycle (in single train op).

I cannot wait to ride Xcelerator during Haunt this year!

I have noticed that too. The ride is short and the train is in the brake run while the other train is pulling into the station. It does save a little time with a second train but not much. A fast crew with one train proabably beats a slow crew with two!

So Knott's did something fairly brilliant for Haunt:

 

Not only do "Fright Lane" ticket holders get front of the line, but now they also get a "skeleton key" that will "unlock additional rooms and interactive scares in select mazes."

 

Simply brilliant. It suckers in fans who would otherwise come on a Thursday to avoid crowds to buy the pass (like me!), while also giving more value to the pass at a relatively low cost (I can't imagine an extra maze room costing more than a few grand).

^That is a devilishly clever idea.

SOLD! I'LL TAKE TWO!

[DougMJr]

That is simply amazing. I can't believe nobody has thought of that sooner. I like haunts, so that would be something I would be compelled to purchase for sure!

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I cant wait!!

I will probably do it myself, and as long as the bonus rooms/scares are well done---they'll have me hooked for next year too!

[Sir Clinksalot]

Between Trapped and this Skeleton Key thing Knott's is moving in such an awesome direction.

[robbalvey]

Wow! Great to see parks thinking outside the box and doing something unique and different with a Halloween event. I remember when Universal Orlando used to be the leader of this kind of thing. "Used to be..."

Hey Robb,

 

Is TPR doing a Haunt event this year at Knott's? MiceChat is doing one, and before I pay $110 for thier event, I just wanted to check to see if TPR is doing one.

 

Thanks.

That is a great idea! Glad to see Knott's taking it up a notch. They've been doing a great job these past few years.

I'm following you with the Thursday Idea this year.
