The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

Yeah, this is a great move. It's really good customer service, and it benefits them as well. Win-win!

[jarmor]

I wonder if new passes sold right now would be good through 2021? Hmmmm. Maybe this will generate some revenue for them!

From a few post up. . .

 

I went ahead and renewed my plat pass and brought the dining plan. im looking at it like this, a worst, the parks wont reopen until july or so, that's still about half a season left for me (at carowinds) plus I will be able to eat that much more for one seasons price.

[sfkk]

^Just be careful. Carowinds hasn’t technically confirmed this yet, so if you choose to make that assumption the risk will be on you. Seems likely, but best to get some official word before dropping over $300. Knott’s has always been treated a bit differently than the rest of the chain.

 

Edit: Actually, I think you could be onto something. If you purchase through Knott's, given that there is no restriction on the park in which you must process it like there is for Six Flags, they will have to provide the advertised service which is free admission until Dec. 31, 2021.

[jarmor]

I figure since it's a platinum pass, they all have to have the same rules vs a gold pass. As well with the plat dining plan. It's the same across the chain.

Knott’s on-line marketplace reopened today with several of the items that were intended to debut at the Boysenberry Festival.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

^ I'm looking all through their website and I'm not seeing this. Do you have a link?

[Nrthwnd]

^ I found it Andrew. Go to the EXPLORE sign on Knott's site, and Online Marketplace will show up far right, bottom of CONNECT list.

 

And here's the link: https://marketplace.knotts.com/?_ga=2.226607454.276761297.1494936970-1631816158.1494853987

 

And if you go to "Product Finder" on that page, you'll get two pages of their products!

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Sweet, thank you!

[Nrthwnd]

^ You are berry welcome!

[KBrylczyk]

Everything I'm seeing on that website is the standard items that you've always been able to get at their gift shops.

[Nrthwnd]

I wish that Knott's sold their stuff up here, somewhere in Canada. Miss that BBQ sauce.

Miss all this stuff, actually. From our visit last September.

And all this, too. From my 2016 Sept. visit.

[jazma]

Several of the items are brand new, meant to be launched at this year's 2020 festival. The Cake Batter Cookies, the type of Beef Jerky chips, the hot sauce, salad dressing and licorice, are some of the brand new items.

 

And I hear more is still to come on-line, so keep checking back.

[Nrthwnd]

The Knott's Online Marketplace is now open. And it's your choice of curbside pickup, or shipping.

 

https://marketplace.knotts.com/

 

And at this time, shipping is ONLY for U.S. addresses. # InCanada

 

And as for Cake Batter Cookies...

Also, full details on Chicken To Go's menu and ordering procedures are available here. Phone ordering launches tomorrow.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Our order just arrived! Some event stuff, some things they always sell but are great anyway.

Boysenberry BBQ sauce was a casualty. We will never forget your sacrifice.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Noooooooooooooooooooo. Not BBQ Sauce!

 

We brought three bottles of it back with us, last Sept.

[VegasBaby]

^ Noooooooooooooooooooo. Not BBQ Sauce!

 

We brought three bottles of it back with us, last Sept.

 

The BBQ Sauce is one of our family's favorites! We always get a couple of orders of the BBQ wings during the boysenberry festival.

[Nrthwnd]

^ You are so lucky to live so close to all that!

 

And ^^^^ joelwee, thanks for all that extra info. (with links)

on the Knott's Chicken-To-Go coming back, with curbside pickup.

Our "Day off from the park" in-room meal from Mrs.Knott's-To-Go. It was goooooood! Sept.07/19.

And....one of these, too.

Yeah, that was the one I was looking forward to the most. Knott's customer service is great though, working with them over email. Still holding out hope for some boysenberry wings.

[Nrthwnd]

^ I hope you can convince them, that the shipment had breakage.

i.e. the BBQ sauce. The photo should help do it.

Most Cedar Fair parks posted an update today. Specifically to Knott's, here are a few highlights:

 

1. Knott's Bear-y Tales is on track to open when the park opens!

2. 100th Anniversary celebration postponed to 2021

3. Ghost Town Alive not taking place this year, and postponed to 2021

[KBrylczyk]

^ It all makes sense, but I really hope they do something cute with the 101st Anniversary to acknowledge the lost year.

^ The attention to detail is amazing. It's almost like they take pride in their parks. This is the kind of thing that has little to no return on investment, but when all these little things add up over time it makes for a better overall experience.
