VegasBaby 2 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 The fun bun is actually delicious, but it's definitely something you want to share! I'm glad that Knott's is extending this event, hopefully I can make it down to SoCal and check it out. I'm having Boysenberry withdrawals since the Boysenberry Festival was cancelled, it's a must-do for our family every year! Link to post Share on other sites
wrs28330 1 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 On Saturday 9/26/20, Theme Park Review was invited to experience the Knott's Taste of Fall-o-ween event, the next in a wonderfully endless string of events at Knott’s Berry Farm. The event runs Fridays – Sundays until November 1. To experience the event, a tasting card must be purchased in advance at knotts.com, and includes entry into the park. The tasting card has raised $5 in price compared from the last event to now be $35 for adults with 5 food tastings, and Junior tasting cards for patrons ages 3-11 is up $5 from the last event to now be $20 with 3 food tastings, and a trip through the Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail. A few tips if you are going to attend the event: -We recommend arriving at noon for the start of the event, as the crowd level picks up throughout the day. -Many food items can be found at multiple food locations, so check to see if one of your desired items can be found at a location off the beaten path. -The food lanyard is handed to you with the hole punch at the top of the card, causing you to have to awkwardly turn the car to read it. However, there is now a secondary hole punch on the bottom of the lanyard so you can flip the card around and easily read it from your perspective. We love this new and simple addition! We love that Knott's is bringing seasonal event to life every few months, encouraging patrons to come back every so often. Thank you so much to Miranda and the Knott’s Team for your hospitality! It's Fall-o-ween time! We have our tasting card ready to go! First was a great chicken taco from the Fiesta Village area. We highly recommend the Open-faced Reuben Sandwich! Amazing Pastrami Tots! We tried the vegetarian meatball slider with sweet potato waffle fries, and love it. The Graveyard Funnel Cake. The Ghoulish Pumpkin Bun is a must! Cookiewich with Pumpkin Soft-serve Ice Cream is another winner! Cookies and Scream Whoopie Pie. Hey Lucy! We loved seeing the Peanuts pals out! We noticed even more entertainment than the previous event. Let's take a look at the Trick-or-Treat Trail included with the Junior Tasting cards. The trail beings by Montezuma's Revenge. We loved all the decorations on the trail, including a substantial amount of scenic pieces from Halloween Haunts of past. Of course, there is candy! Thank you again to Knott's for inviting us for the wonderful fall fun! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DBJ 0 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Great trip report! I was there on Friday, Sept. 25. I think as a an alternative event to Scary farm, it was a very well put together event. Many, many tables so you can spread out. It only feels mildly crowded around the Bird Cage theater and Fiesta village. I enjoyed the magic / comedy act while sitting a the picnic tables. And if you love sugar, wow! So many good options. The cheesecake trifle is fantastic, pumpkin cannoli, and so on. If you need a cheat day, Knott's has you covered. They play music everywhere, have some light fog, and looks amazing at night. Link to post Share on other sites
cfc 12 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It's good to see that Knott's has managed a Halloween event, even if it isn't Scary Farm (I definitely want one of those chicken tacos and a cookiewich with pumpkin soft serve). Link to post Share on other sites

joelwee 0 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 So, word on the street is that Newsom is releasing theme park guidelines tonight, but he has been saying that for the past 3 months, so I am not holding my breath. The rumored guidelines include: - Advance ticket sales required - 25% capacity - Face coverings required - Admission limited to people living within a certain distance of the park Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently he's going to be "speaking with theme parks" sometime this week, but I'm not expecting anything special. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The rumor was they also wanted the county to be in the "yellow category" OC is still far away. Source for below: https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

thrillseeker4552 5 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 While it sucks we can't ride any rides, I am still very glad to see Knott's putting on these food events and selling out. I am sure they are pulling in quite a bit of money. I anticipate they will do a Holiday/Christmas event too, and they will probably just keep doing these until they can fully open. Good for them, it's genius. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KBrylczyk 9 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 ^ I'm curious if for the Christmas event, whatever it may be, they attempt some type of performance for guests. I know Snoopy On Ice is a tall order with the pandemic but a Christmas event without some kind of storytelling medium just seems empty. Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 11 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Rumor is there are some high up California government peeps out in Florida, checking out the parks, and putting something together for your terrible governor who hates parks! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 5 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 ^Here's to hoping! Sigh. I'll be in SoCal from Thanksgiving through mid-January. Fingers crossed, but expectations low... Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure I read that the ride will be ready when the park opens. So it will open this year as long as the park opens. Link to post Share on other sites
