Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry Festival Preview and Park Update - March 14th, 2019

This past Tuesday we were invited out to Knott's Berry Farm for an evening of tastings featuring many new items that will be available at this years Boysenberry Festival.

Among the delectable eats were some truly tasty treats, many flowing drinks and of course, all the fun that Knott's has to offer.

We also have a quick park update before we get started on the food.

Welcome to Knott's!!

Every time we try and ride Jaguar it seems to go down. But we rode it hundreds of times during Coasting for Kids so we probably are good to not ride this again, ever.

A must-ride, every visit. Usually more than once.

Over at the Timber Mountain Log Ride, they've made some nice updates to the Fast Lane process.

Previously Fast Lane would go through the exit, which created issues for those exiting the logs, and probably a safety issue as well.

Now the entrance is through the regular line

The regular line gets held on the right under the sign, while Fast Lane goes to the left.

They wait for the line to pass the cave before letting the next group go.

It actually seemed to work really well, hopefully they're thinking of ways to make Fast Lane better at some of the other rides. Namely Montezoomas Revenge and the Rapids.

Unfortunately HangTime was down all day.

Pony Express was also getting some offseason love.

Speaking of the rapids, some work is definitely going on, we could hear them pounding away at something.

Could be another reason Pony Express was closed.

Lots of room for new landscaping or other things.

They were working on the queue

Not sure how well you can see them, but there are ropes strung across in a few areas here. Not sure what they are for.

The Galloping Goose was out, always a nice treat.

Alright, let's get on with the food.

The first of three videos where we talk about all of the food we tried. Don't worry, we cut out the part where we eat the food. Nobody needs to see that. =)

Boysenberry Tostada with pulled pork. Super delicious.

Boysenberry Salmon, nice and tasty.

Boysenberry Habanero Mac and Cheese. This was a hit, and we can't wait to have it again soon.

Jambalaya. It was quite good. Everything a Jambalaya should be. Didn't taste much Boysenberry, but that was ok.

Chili in a Boysenberry Bread Bowl. Fantastic Chili. Yummy Bread Bowl.

Chicken and Flank Steak skewers. We actually preferred the chicken, but both were very good.

Boysenberry Pot Roast and Boysenberry Mashed Potatoes.

Both were melt in your mouth good. Josh doesn't usually like Mashed Potatoes, but he loved these.

Boysenberry Hummus. Think this is a carry-over from last year, but it was fantastic. The pita was perfect.

Knott's also announced that an all new Boysenberry Pie Frozen Yogurt will be available at ALL Yogurtland locations (yes, that one down the street from you) beginning on March 18th.

It's so worth it.

Lastly and certainly not least, is the Berry Beast.

Be sure to check out the video on how this thing was born.

Some great merchandise will be available as well

Back again is the Tied Up In Knott's display which showcases some great artwork featuring Knott's history.

Some really fantastic art on display.

This Walter Knott art is sure to go very quickly.

Same with the Catawampus.

This is all so good, we'd be surprised if it's not all sold the very first day of the Festival.

Some great Beary Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs art

Classic Knott's

Thanks to Knott's for having us out, we had a fantastic time, ate too much, caught up with great friends and we can't wait to do it again soon!!
