UPDATE:: Ghostrider opening has been pushed back to June. We will update when we have a new opening date.


Let's start off with a great tour of Ghostrider. Be sure to check out the video below.

We got to get up close and personal with the ride and take a look at all the great work they are doing on this amazing coaster. 

The drop after the mid course brake run has been re-profiled and raised up a bit (you can see the old spot in the below picture) 

Under the station

They've removed some of the steel supports they'd been putting up on the ride the last few years because due to re-profiling of the turns (to give them more banking) they simply don't need it. 

In addition the Pan for Gold is looking great back in it's original location. 

Ghostrider will re-open in June. We can't wait!!

Opening on May 27th is Ghost Town Alive. Be sure to check out the video below to hear all the great stuff that's coming. It's going to be a lot of fun. 

Is there a more awesome place to get theme park pictures than Ghost Town? 

The Barn will feature horses and mules over the summer. 

The bank will also be back and interactive!! 

The theater is also getting a lengthy refurb.

Moving on, the Calico Saloon is getting a very awesome looking rehab. Again, be sure to check out the video to see and hear all the details on this awesome refurbishment. 

A look at some of the things they are planning for the inside. 

An all new bar, sound-system and additional seating. 

Work is also continuing on the new stage.

Lastly, the Chicken Dinner Restaurant ... you can see how much work is going on below.

There's also a few other things going on at the park. Riptide has been completely removed. 

The Flyers are closed for rehab

And we'll leave you with some great pics of Knott's, because we can. Enjoy!! 

We hope you enjoyed this update of some fantastic tours the park was great enough to hold. We can't wait to experience all the great things the park has in store for this summer. 

But don't forget, the Boysenberry Festival begins in just a few weeks on March 19. We hope to see you there!!
