djboss302 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow. I never realized how many things some people complained about. Like sitting on seatbelts? I kid, I kid. Anyway, the new colors look fine. Nothing to go off on a rant about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow. I never realized how many things some people complained about. While I agree that this is ridiculous, the fact that the person who was complaining about the inconvenience of sitting on a seatbelt buckle is commenting on people that are complaining about paint choices is making my brain hurt. Says the guy that was crying about the seat belts on Diamonback? ^ Beat me to tha punchline! ^^You too! Third times a charm! ^^^Yeah! Like the seat belts on Xcelerator. Sorry, I couldn't resist. You did kinda set yourself up for that one. Guy "The Gremlin." Koepp These are all fantastic!! He truly will always be remembered for that comment. And each time it's brought up, I laugh again! Shoot, I'd love it if it somehow got incorporated into his title...."I sit on seatbelts" or "Forever trying to master the ever-complicated seatbelt" or something of the like. I wonder if the Title Fairy ever peruses other topics?? Because I'd be willing to bet he won't go and request something like that. I think the new paint looks fine, and it's at least good that the park is keeping things fresh and updated. Knott's is a park I definitely would love to visit when we make it out to California someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 ^^ I just asked if the Title Fairy perused other topics, I didn't assign a gender. The "he" I referenced after that was Diamondbacker27, not the mighty and glorious Title Fairy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsBerryMountain Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The park just announced the opening date for Mine Ride is June 14th. Bad luck to me I thought it would be open by my visit on June 3rd but I guess I can take two trips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's great news to hear that CMR will re-open June 14th. That's the weekend after my school ends; it looks like I'll be making a Summer kick-off trip! Does anyone know if Camp Snoopy will be finished by then, or if it will be completed at a different time?

Camp Snoopy should be opening the same day. Seems like all the cosmetic work is done, so it's just putting in the flats which shouldn't take too long as they've already started on some of them.

Locostitch Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hmm I wonder what it was Anyone know what that last tweet was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ They always tweet "we're now closed" at the end of each operating day, and I'm guessing they tweeted one of their "we're open today from..." tweets instead. Probably nothing of note. What's the deal with Riptide? It was closed today and during my last visit in March. Is it having some big issue? Why isn't it on the "rides closed" list?

thrillseeker4552 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^I'm wondering the same thing. It's one of my favorite flats at Knott's. Hopefully it'll be up and running soon. I'd hate to see it go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isn't it on the "rides closed" list? It would not surprise me if they're planning on getting rid of it soon. I'm certain that and Screamin' Swing's days are numbered.

linearinduction Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ I doubt there are any plans to remove another water ride, like Riptide. Many people probably don't understand that is what it really is, a water ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ is it really, though? I thought the fountains on Riptide haven't gotten riders wet for years. I do wish the park would reinstate that feature during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 ^ & ^^ The water fountains will never touch riders again. Caused too many problems with rides mechanical and electrical systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Knotts has all the water rides they need between log ride and big foot rapids. If knotts was looking to plus another attraction, I think that bigfoot rapids could be a great attraction. Ive always wanted to see an actual big foot featured some where in the ride! And yes, I would not consider riptide a water ride and i too think its days would be numbered but my gut tells me knotts has other projects that have a priority for the next couple years and the land it sits on isnt necessarily valuable unless they were to rip out boomerang and use all that space. I do think its about time for knotts to get something big either next year or in 2016 when HP opens at USH. Knotts should be in good shape too with all these little upgrades.

KnottsBerryMountain Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 They are lacking in water rides that get you soaked. Turn back on the Big foot rapids waterfalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I honestly don't think that being soaked appeal to that many people aside from a small segment of younger kids. If they're really looking to cool off, there is always Soak City next door, or perhaps Knotts should look into adding a small water play zone some where in the park.
