All things Knotts Berry Farm

[Professortango1]

Mainly because whoever I went to knotts with wanted to go on rides instead of taking time to see a show. I do like the quiter elements of Knott's personally. The more intimate elements. Growing up my mom and Grandmother would take me mainly so we can have Mrs. KNOTT'S FRIED CHICKEN DINNER, which to me is the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Not sure if it is still the same since been years since I have had it. But we would go for a random day of food and shopping and visiting ghost town. I miss the haunted shack and minning for gold. I used to do them all the time as a kid. I used to love going on the train and getting robbed. When I was a kid I thought the robbers were real and someone was about to steal the train. I miss knotts. It has been waaaay too long since I have gone. Last time I went Excelerator had just opened and that is one bad baaaad baaaad mean roller coaster. I love me some excelerstor. Gotta sit in the first row. That view you get as your reach the top before you go over- amazing

Panning for gold has returned to Knotts. Also, you haven't been since Excelerator??? Weren't you vehemently attacking Iron Reef a few pages back? You haven't even ridden the attraction?

Believe it or not this ride is incredibly scary.

The Santa Cruz Boardwalk has a big version of this called "Cliffhanger". It's awesome, but after my second ride I got grossed out when I realized I was putting my chin on a pad someone else's sweaty chin had just been on... and I haven't ridden it since...

I'm going there tonight to watch Krazy Kurt and pick up the kids. Hopefully people will leave when it gets dark.

How does this guy look to you in person?

How does this guy look to you in person?

He isn't furry but kind of plastic metal like Figaro. His paw and head seem to able to move. He looks just as good as the animals along river at Disneyland. I hope they turn on the waterfall so he can look like he's going to jump on you right before you are drenched.

Thanks. That's the impression I got. That's probably a reasonable level of realism for those on the rafts.

Here is a nice night shot of Bob.

Here is proof that Santa Claus prefers to go to Knotts over Disneyland. I hear he is a big fan of Krazy Kurt & the Hillbillies.

Calico River Rapids opens May 17th!!!

Really? On Saturday it had a cabin and Bob. Even the TNT plungers weren't installed yet. That seems like a lot of work to do in two weeks.

Well, 2 Cabins, and a Log over the River, plus Bob!

My 8 Ball says... The Answer is NO!

Then why did Knotts post "Opening May 17th" on their Instagram story haha.

That's right I forgot about the log. I wonder if something is going to be standing on it. Where is the other cabin?

If my eyes saw right yesterday, it's tucked more in the back and you can't really see it that well.
