 Last night we were invited out to Knott's Berry Farm for the kick off of their 100th Anniversary Event. To say that we had an absolute blast at the event would be an extreme understatement. Not only was it great to be back in the park, to see all of the special things the park has done for their 100th Anniversary, but we got to hang out with some people we haven't seen in FAR too long. Being fully vaccinated rocks! Let's head in for some fun at the farm! Written by Gregg Condon Pics by Scott Linder, Kristi Condon and Gregg Condon  Hi Knott's! We are definitely ready to celebrate!  So many great things to see, ride and of course, taste!   Apparently there are 26 of these QR "Moments in time" around the park. Next time we'll get pics of all of them for an update!    The Haunted Shack is back as an excellent photo op!      Next time we'll do the opposite picture  Before the opening ceremony we all went to check out Bear-Y Tales. I was the only one in our group of 7 who had ridden it.  Our dear friend Scott who is moving to Washington next week took an evening away from packing to join us!  A really great kick-off ceremony was held!   The park has some amazing photo ops with previous attractions. The Kingdom of the Dinosaurs one was a particular favorite of our group.  The Sky Jump Photo Op wasn't quite ready  Coasters all decked out for the 100th!  Soap Box Racers!  The previous K is now a photo op!  Kristi with the K   Knott's is definitely picturesque, even more at night. We don't visit the park at night enough, in non-Scary Farm form. =)  Expect lots of "K" pictures this year!  Great to see Summer Nights back!   Lucy and Pigpen  WHITTLES!!!    If I still surfed I'd love a Knott's 100 surfboard. Who am I kidding, I'd love it now!  A few more night pics around the park on our way out     We see you hiding back there "K"  Thanks again to Knott's for having us out, we had a blast and can't wait to head back! Related Videos

 Last weekend I headed up to the Bay Area for a crazy impromptu road trip, and found myself at California's Great America for their passholder preview. This park is very quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite parks, not just in CA, but overall. Had an absolutely amazing day as you can see below! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome back to California's Great America  Lots of signs inside and outside the park  Reservations required ... for now  One of the most beautiful park entrances ... don't @ me  Chuck says welcome back!  I was the only rider on the first Gold Striker Train of 2021, well, first public train  Social distancing markers in the queue, they weren't needed last weekend. They probably will be this weekend.  Whew, no football  The new starbucks looks great!     Mmmm, Railblazer   CGA has one of the best collections of flat rides of any park   Looks like it could reopen any time, hopefully this weekend   LOVE what they did to Psycho Mouse! Looks great!   There's a story here ... lol  The only open coaster we didn't ride  Can't wait to come back for South Bay Shores     Hello Flyers!  The Orbit is getting an extensive rehab and should be back around July, or so we hear    New coaster confirmed! (probably just paving)  I missed just sitting in the park, enjoying a snack. Patriot photobomed me!  The buckets are in there and ready to go!  A few more random pics around the park     It was so nice to meet up with Andrew, and see some other friends around the park!  The Demon was running great, and has added some new effects! Can't wait for some night rides!  Not generally a fan of IPA's, but this was quite good  Lots of space for ... something. As long as Kings Island doesn't steal it again. =)  Even Sally was out enjoying the day!  Last ride of the day was Flight Deck. I know they've said they didn't shorten the belts, but they totally did. Still, there are "Big Boy Seats" on pretty much every row now.  We had a great day at the park!  Hope you enjoyed, it's so great doing updates like this again! Related Videos

We had of course been at the park for the various food festivals, but it was great being back for some of our favorite rides and more at one of our favorite parks. In this update we'll share our thoughts on the reopening, and what you should expect when you visit. Enjoy! Written by Gregg Condon  Good Morning Ghostrider!  It looks like the banner finally fits! (this always bothered us tbh)  It's great to be back!  First stop was a ride on the amazing Ghostrider!  Missed this view  Social distancing in the queue. For the most part, Knott's was using every-other switchback to enforce social distancing.  Fog here soon?   Social distancing markers are everywhere!     So glad this is back!   Plexiglass in the queue   Nice tribute to the original Bear-y tales!  LOVE THIS!  A look at the station. It looks fantastic! Do wish they would have replaced the ride vehicles. They apparently are still having issues and the ride was closed a lot of the weekend.  Let's go for a ride!  Love the Boardwalk! Hi Xcelerator!   This was our wait for HangTime!   What do we have here?  Did you get your Scary Farm pass yet?   More social distancing markers  Obligatory Theme Park Panda Express Selfie!  Moo!  Time for a ride on Silver Bullet!  Every Other Row for distancing!   Hello Beautiful!    So fun to listen to KNOT radio! Knott's has put together another amazing art show showcasing some great art pieces from some talented artists. This is something that is uniquely Knott's and we love it! Check out a slideshow of some of the great pieces!  Some really great retro merch is also available at the park!      Do you need to stock up on your pins?     Spirit Jerseys have now invaded Knott's  More merchandise is at the Factory Store     They have different merch in each store   Another blast from the past    Aww, miss the Sky Jump.
