Nrthwnd 53 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 ^ But, but...what about all the food? Did I miss a donation announcement, from them? Just me, being usually curious. More of the above. (o: Link to post Share on other sites
ytterbiumanalyst 0 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 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! Link to post Share on other sites

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 0 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 A tasting card would just be boysenberry icing on the boysenberry cake. Link to post Share on other sites

Nrthwnd 53 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 post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 33 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 post Share on other sites
Nrthwnd 53 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 post Share on other sites

ytterbiumanalyst 0 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 post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 75 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. Link to post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 33 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 post Share on other sites
coasterlvr 10 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 post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 75 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 post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 75 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 75 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 post Share on other sites
pianojohn 17 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I would think they would offer this to all Platinum Passholders. Fingers crossed! Link to post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 33 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 10 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 9 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 post Share on other sites
coasterlvr 10 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.
