coasterlvr Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 That's the first I've heard of any park giving compensation for the park being closed. I imagine most parks will give perks of some sort for us not being able to use our already-purchased season passes for half the season, but it's a little easier for Knott's with their being year-round to just extend it. Good on them! Disneyland is adding the amount of days closed to annual passes too. but i'm not sure how it will all work out with the different passes and blackout dates. with knott's, personally i won't gain anything since they are on the calendar year passes. only if i didn't renew. but with a 200 dollar platinum pass, i don't really care.

Good on them! If the park closes for two months, I would be happy if they delayed Boysenberry Festival to several weeks of the summer so they can jumpstart interest in the park and offer the pass holders a tasting card as a compensation option.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 A tasting card would just be boysenberry icing on the boysenberry cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Besides Halloween, is there another event Knott's does in the Fall? I forget if they do something else. Fall Season would be perfect for the Boysenberry Fest. Harvest time. Good eatin'. I'm sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 ^In the fall, during the daytime, they run "Knott's Spooky Farm" - a kids and family friendly version of Scary Farm. I am sure they will do the Boysenberry Festival ASAP once they reopen. That event prints money for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 ^ I just figured, if they did it in the summer time, it'd be pretty hot, and needing a lot more refrigeration of the various foods offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 ^ That's really great to hear. It's not like this is their fault at all, and they don't owe anyone, it's just A+ customer service and I'm glad to see it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I forgot to mention this after visiting Knott's last month, but when did HangTime get new seatbelts? I remember the release on the old seatbelts were very counter-intuitive and really slowed down loading. If I remember correctly, you had to press the buckle together before it would release. However, I noticed the seatbelts were more traditional this time around so people were actually able to unbuckle them without any instruction from the operators.

thrillseeker4552 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 ^Now that you mention it, I noticed the same thing. That's good. Sometimes it took way too long to unbuckle the old seatbelts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlvr Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 here's an old knott's park map i have. seems to be from 1983. camp snoopy is being advertised and it opened in 1983. also, there's a sea world coupon good until may 31, 1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks for sharing! I love seeing old maps. It's weird to see Montezooma's Revenge without Jaguar threading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Knott's just sent an email to passholders that all 2020 regular, gold, and platinum season passes will also be valid through the entirety of the 2021 season. I was not expecting them to extend them for that much additional time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not expecting them to extend them for that much additional time! i just deleted my post i was writing when i saw the email notification someone had commented. LOL yeah, i was going to just accept 2020 as a lost value season. but to get 2021 in it's entirety is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It'll be interesting how the other Cedar Fair parks handle this, but then again Knott's is the only one with full season operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianojohn Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I would think they would offer this to all Platinum Passholders. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 What a great move. I am thrilled about this. Here is my question: does this apply to those who haven't purchased a pass yet? I wonder if somebody purchases a pass in, say, July... will that new pass be valid through 2021 as well? I currently have a Gold Pass and am considering paying the difference to upgrade to Platinum since I may visit CP and KI this July. But of course, that trip could get canned if things are still a mess by then. It would be nice if my upgraded Platinum Pass remains valid and I can go in 2021 instead.

coasterlvr Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I would think they would offer this to all Platinum Passholders. Fingers crossed! yeah, i'm curious if they will. i can understand if they don't because of the shorter operating seasons, but we'll see. first time i'm glad i'm a knott's platinum passholder.

jarmor Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Did it say anything about if you had the meal plan add on to your pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlvr Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Did it say anything about if you had the meal plan add on to your pass? there is this line... "2020 Season Passes and purchased 2020 Season Pass Add-On Products (if applicable) will be valid for the remainder of 2020 when our park is able to reopen" the "if applicable" isn't clearly defined. but my guess is, food would be included. i guess we'll see.

tndank Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This will be chain wide. No way they are going to have multiple Platinum passes or just have it apply to select parks. The description confirms it's across the chain. Looking like 2020 may not happen at all or be very very late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This is really cool for Knott's to do! But also, they only had a few choices, because they sell Season passes, not Annual Passes. Their system can't make a pass that expires on any other date other than December 31st. So, either they say you don't get any reimbursement, get a whole extra year, or send you physical comp tickets as reimbursement. So, they made the only reasonable choice they could. I wonder if new passes sold right now would be good through 2021? Hmmmm. Maybe this will generate some revenue for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
