SNOOPY AND THE RED BARON
Coming soon to Camp Snoopy, this immersive dark ride combines screens, animatronics, projections, tons of set pieces, and a heavy dose of artificial wind to give the illusion of chaos, speed, and ultimately thrill.
As explained by the immersive queue, the premise of the attraction is Snoopy’s telling the gang a campfire story of his marvelous defeat of the Red Baron - and you get the relive the story along with him!
Suspended ride vehicles inspired by Snoopy’s iconic red doghouse take guest on this journey from the airfield to the Red Baron’s headquarters as en route Snoopy and the Baron are in a dogfight around them - with lots of visual gags along the way.
See it didn't take too much Googling to come up with something cool! I like this - it's family friendly and fitting of Knott's - Nice work!
El Escudo!
Get a front row seat to some high-flying lucha libre action in this new Fiesta Village dark ride, where a gang of demons try to invade the city, only to come face to face with the heroic wrestling might of El Escudo!
This is very unique! Blends in with the cultural influence of So. Cal/Mexico and adds something interesting to Fiesta Village - awesome!
GHOST TOWN HAUNTED HOUSE
View attachment 547709
Boo! Board this slow moving dark ride journey through an abandoned manor. It puts the “ghost” in Ghost Town!
Nice concept - while I know you're working on SA I would have loved to know a little about the dark ride? What's the story and what kind of ghosts are we talkin' bout, friendly or more spooky like a Halloween Horror Nights?
Replacing the Lake of Reflection and the Silver Bullet roaster coaster, Dino Caverns will further add to Knott's mountain range and compliment the nearby Log Ride. Thaddeus P. Knott, a hermit who has lived inside the mountain for 50 years, wants us to test out his new time travel machine to go back to the prehistoric age and observe what dinosaurs were really like. This suspended dark ride will give guests a flight through time from the Ice Age to even further back when Dinosaurs ruled the earth, the ride will gradually climb inclines through the ride allowing for a great outdoor view of Knott's Berry Farm as the climax!
Ooh good idea adding to the mountain range. I also like the trip back in time - it's very classic Cali - and the suspended dark ride would give a unique perspective on the dinos from that angle.
A new suspended dark ride, The Mermaids of Malibu lets guests embark on an serene journey to the realm of all benevolent sea creatures; Reefhaven, where the new queen is set to be coronated. Beginning in an old cottage at the foot of a cliff; where the previous occupant left drawings and writings referencing what lies beyond Malibu Bay, mermaid song invites all to come to the beach caves, where seahorse-drawn chariots whisk down to the realm where real sea creatures mingle with imagined sea creatures such as Aigikampos (goats with fish tails), Aspidochelone (an enormous sea turtle), and even fantastical versions of real animals. This dark ride; with its visuals, score, and tone; will be a popular attraction for all ages, especially for those who don't wish to ride the more intense rides.
Suspended is looking like the way we're going! I also like the research you did for the names of the sea creatures and the tone being not too intense for all ages.
EL TEMPLO DEL DIOS JAGUAR
View attachment 547738
The East Area of Fiesta Village and Jaguar! will be closing soon to make way for a new experience coming to Knott’s Berry Farm, the park’s first ever immersive boat ride, El Templo del Dios Jaguar.
As you walk through the Mayan Forest, the largest remaining tropical rainforest in the Americas after the Amazon, you come in contact with a gentle jaguar spirit who’s looking for someone to help them protect their ancestral home from a group of treasure hunters.
Journey into an underground river and explore the lost Mayan temple of the Jaguar God, where a thrilling adventure awaits, but you must be careful or you might wake up the Jaguar God, whose fury could send you in a one way trip to Xibalba.
Ah this would be something very different for the park - I also like the subtle nod to El Rio del Tiempo in your title!
Dreamcatcher Flight
View attachment 547750
At the edge of Ghost Town an enormous Dreamcatcher stands, a portal to the fantastic dimension of, well, dreams. Hop aboard an enchanted coach and take flight in this suspended family dark ride that soars over canyons and western villages, both with realistic colors and painted in charming, "psychedelic" tones, guided by benevolent animal spirits.
But beware: don't follow the evil Night-mares who want to take your flying coach to scary places you might not know how to get out of...
I like the psychedelic element of this attraction - really delving into the fantasy element of it all - I wonder if it might be too scary though for the little ones with the nightmares and such but nonetheless a very original attraction!
I too know zilch about Knott's Berry Farm.
Actually, I guess one could say I know Knott a thing!
Okay, here's my idea...
Schroeder's Surreal Symphony
Schroeder invites us to partake in a performance of - what else? - Beethoven's greatest compositions. Based on
a scene in A Boy Named Charlie Brown, this surreal dark ride takes guests through a number of bizarre landscapes and sequences aboard piano-shaped ride vehicles. It's sure to put a smile on any guest's face - especially if they're a classical music buff like Schroeder is.
Hey all good - you did a solid job with this Brer! Like MickeyWaffle you picked an IP that would work for sure!
KNOTT'S BERRY FARM: THE GREAT MAYFIELD BANK HEIST
A wild, fast-paced dark ride into the First National Bank of Calico, as the notorious Mayfield family try to steal the vault, said to contain a mountain-sized pile of nuggets. We whizz around the building and its neighbours in runaway minecarts, as the Mayfields make their escape, only to discover their intended prize contains no gold but a lifetime supply of boysenberries!
BONUS: SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO -- CAPRICORN & PISCES
The sea contains many mysteries and legends, and out of the deepest waters of California comes Capricorn and Pisces, a pair of aquatic hippocampuses, who have come ashore to meet the "landlubbers" and have adventures and plenty of cuddles.
Note: The artwork was found on Google Images! I wish I could draw like this!
I like how you tie it in with Calico! That's a really cool twist, and would fit perfectly in the pre-existing park!
Camp Snoopy Boat Tours
Replacing the Rocky Mountain Trucking Company comes a new dark ride where guests board a wooden boat to go through the scenic and cartoony locations of Camp Snoopy. Guests pass by many of the characters and some comedic moments sure to please any Peanuts fan.
BONUS
Fishe
A fish, totally not a cat, why would you think that?
Good work! Seems the Peanuts were a popular choice - and fittingly so, this would be a family favorite!
As part of a more extensive transformation of Fiesta Village into Festival del Pueblo, the land's new centerpiece attraction will be El Rio de la Aventura, a water-based ominimover dark ride through the rich and epic history of Mexico.
Housed in a recreation of Mexico City's Metropolitan Cathedral, the ride is made up of six large and epic scenes: Mexica (1325-1521); Conquista (1521-1824); La Republica (1824-1968); Viva Mexico! (1968-the future).
The ride's scenes will be dramatic, impressive, and inspiring, pioneering a new level of theming and technology to bring to life the story of our southern neighbor, Mexico.
Very well written and researched! I think this would be something worthy of Epcot but in Knott's - nicely done!
Mine Train Adventure
Explore the mines as you have to capture outlaws running loose underground.
Nice, I must say you have definitely taking the concept of one sentence to heart!
