_IntaMAN_ Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Calico Mine Ride has new orange paint Heard it's just a starter layer, kinda like for the new paint job on CGA's Flight Deck, when the starter layer of paint was white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsBerryMountain Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Grab your paddle, and head for the river wild, because this week’s news is really going to make a splash! Lucy’s Tugboat has long been a popular rollicking, spinning ride on the high seas. As part of the Camp Snoopy rejuvenation project, we’re excited to announce that the ride will remain and will be re-themed as a white water rafting adventure, re-opening early this summer as Rapid River Run. Adventurers brave enough to face the rough and tumble river waters can climb aboard and ascend to heights of 21 feet on this wild rafting adventure complete with a look-out tower. Yup Lucy Tugboat is getting rethemed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ^Nice touch! Actually having Camp Snoopy be themed to a camp again, instead of just a collection of rides based on Snoopy characters that started out as a camp theme and lost touch with future additions.

Jew Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The old bridge/playhouse structure/complex was the best part (aside from the Huff-N-Puff of course) of Camp Snoopy as a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I miss the waterfalls on Bigfoot rapids. Not to ride. But to watch people scream rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsBerryMountain Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 The Timberline Twister new paint scheme is great! Green Track with brown supports The Calico Mine Ride looks like it has the same color mountains as the Cars Land one. Looks kind of weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeromyL Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm already embarrassing my daughter and photobombing the ride photos! Great day at Knotts today. A lot of construction including the street curbs in the market place. Ghost rider is getting track work and the mine ride is moving right along in the refurb!!! No lines today. Excelerator has been a walk on most of the day so far!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just noticed in your picture that the lap bar indicators are gone. They used to turn green or red depending on how far the lap bar was in place. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 They did add a little black mark on the edge. Friend of mine can no longer ride because the mark didn't go back far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Force! Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Oh, I see it now. On the sides of the lap bars themselves. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 For those of you who liked to take advantage of the Marketplace parking lot to enjoy a stroll around the park/grab some quick rides…Beginning March 1, parking will only be free for 1 hour without a proof of purchase from a store or restaurant in the Marketplace. Still will be free for 3 hours with proof of purchase. Otherwise you'll get charged a flat rate of $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanic Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The family and I will be going to Knott's one day during the week between the 10th and the 14th. Any suggestions on which day may be best? I'm guessing any day should be relatively light this time of year, but figured I'd ask in case there's some event I may wish to steer of, or a ride refurb that may be coming up. Thanks in advance.

I mean, the Marketplace doesn't really offer anything of any real value to justify that cost. I do realize this is to eliminate people using the 3 hr parking for the park, but $25 is a bit high.

Jew Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 ^Well, the marketplace parking is essentially preferred parking if you use it for the theme park. Closest lot to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's a flat fee of $25 for everyone, you can still park for free if you are just going to the Marketplace. There's no reason the Marketplace itself would need to justify the cost. The only time the fee comes into play is if you are using the lot to go into the park, and $25 for preferred parking is actually on the lower side of things. Some parks charge almost that much just for standard parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one of those days should be very light. I don't know of any events planned those days, but i'll let you know if anything changes. In terms of Refurb, Ghostrider will still be down that week, along with Timberline and Mine Ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 ^ Thank you. I knew about the major mine ride overhaul, but wasn't aware of Ghostrider. There's still plenty in the park that I enjoy. The boardwalk area and refurb of the log ride will be new experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would be more fair to have the hourly rate like they did before. Using the new 1hr and 3hr model with an hourly rate after. I can just see people spending the time eating and shopping, spending money, and then 4 hours later getting an additional $25 charge after spending a lot already. I mean, if someone is there longer then 3 hours and they didn't go into the park, odds are they spent a lot of money in the marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamd Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hey they gotta make the money somehow for their 2015 addition . Speaking of which is there any word out there as to what Knotts may be planning for 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is obvious the main point of this is to deter annual pass holders from using the marketplace for free parking. I imagine/hope they would make exceptions for people with bags full of purchased items or giant tabs at Friday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
