Ghost Town Alive makes a triumphant return to Knott's Berry Farm

Picture
This past weekend we FINALLY made it out to Knott's Berry Farm to check out this years Ghost Town Alive. Oddly enough for Fathers Day the park was pleasantly empty which meant a fun day for us and the awesome characters of Ghost Town.

Welcome to Knott's Berry Farm 
Picture
Be careful or you might find yourself in jail 
Picture
Somebody stole the Catawampus 
Picture
Or did it escape? 
Picture
It was an absolutely gorgeous day at the park
Picture
Picture
We spent some time trying to solve some crimes and get edumacated ... 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Maybe we'll find the Catawampus on Boot Hill 
Picture
Picture
Excuse me sir, do you know where we can find Catawampus 
Picture
After wishing up a happy Fathers Day the Calico Gazette broke the news that Mayfield has been captured. Fake News? 
Picture
At the end of the day all is peaceful in Calico 
Picture

There are also some projects going on around the park 
Picture
Boardwalk BBQ is coming along quite nicely 
Picture
Picture
Over on the other side, lots of room for something ... 
Picture
Hopefully we'll hear what's going here very soon 
Picture
Last but not least, some Scary Farm prep has begun 
Picture
Picture
That's going to wrap it up for this update, we hope you enjoyed. This week we'll be heading up for our (mostly) "Great White North" trip with visits to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday, Canada's Wonderland on Monday, Seabreeze on Tuesday and Darien Lake on Tuesday Night/Wednesday. Be sure you're following along all weekend.

Red, White and Brews the perfect summer kick-off

Picture
Over Memorial Weekend California's Great America kicked off their all new Craft Beer festival "Red, White and Brews". This seems like it's a pilot for the rest of the chain and if it is, you are all going to have some amazing times drinking amazing beers at Cedar Fair parks in the very near future. 

For a first year event it went off amazing.

Welcome to California's Great America on a beautiful late-spring day. 
Picture
These chairs are empty now, they won't be for long. =) 
Picture
A little introduction to Red, White and Brews from the park. Just to let you know what to expect. 
Picture
As with other events in the chain, the tasting card is your absolute best bet. 
Picture
All of the food and beer is in the area around Patriot, which makes it really nice to just sit and enjoy for awhile. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
The booths match perfectly and are very inviting 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lots of music and fun as well including Dueling Pianos 
Picture
One of these things is not like the other. =) 
Picture
The San Jose Brew Bike is also there and is a lot of fun. Although Kristi may have just liked taking pics of the driver. =) 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some of the food. 
For a first year event Red, White and Brews was amazing. We can only see it going up from here and wouldn't be surprised at all to see it expanded to more dates next year. 

Just a couple of quick notes from the rest of the park. 

Berserker was down. 
Picture
Hope this isn't a sign of bad things ahead. Far too few of these left. 
Picture
We finally rode Patriot and it was awesome!! 
Picture
Last but not least, not a huge fan of "Coaster" shirts, but love this one. Also comes in black. May have to grab one on our next visit.

Knott's Soak City Opening Day and quick Knott's Berry farm Update

Picture
Saturday we were invited out to check out the opening day of Knott's Soak City and after years of trying to get to this waterpark we finally were able to visit. And what an amazing time to visit as the park has opened 7 all new slides this season. 

We'll also head over to the other side of Beach Blvd to see what's going on at the farm. 

Written by Gregg Condon
Welcome to Knott's Soak City. Look at the new hotness. 
Picture
Picture
Surf's up dudes!! 
Picture
Picture
A little rocking band at 9:00am 
Picture
Since we'd never been to Soak City we wanted to make sure we took a look at the entire park during our visit. 
Picture
Picture
Tee Hee 
Picture
Picture
All new Longboards Grill
Picture
Picture
Really nicely done
Picture
We had lunch later in the day and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich was very yummy
Picture
Opening the new expansion to Soak City!! 
Picture
Picture
In addition to the new attractions they've done an amazing job adding new landscaping to the park 
Picture
Picture
The Wedge  
Picture
The ever popular launch slides 
Picture
Picture
Stay Tuned, there MAY be some pictures of me on these slides to share soon. Well maybe beware. =) 
Picture
The new raft slides and the launch slides are a LOT of fun. Not too intense for either one. 
Picture
Another look at The Wedge 
Picture
Picture
They've also got a couple of really awesome looking kids play area's 
Picture
Don't try this without a waterproof camera ... =) 
Picture
Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Soak City. It got really crowded later in the day as it was in the 90's in Buena Park. They have a LOT of nice area's to set up your blankets and towels for a nice day in the park, but we suggest getting there early. 

We took a quick detour to Knott's 
Picture
We were able to confirm that the Calico Soda is now available all year at both Judge Roy Beans and the Calico Saloon. It's amazing. 
Picture
Boomerang is completely gone
Picture
Totally gone 
Picture
Extremely gone 
Picture
The new BBQ restaurant is coming along nicely
Picture
Picture
Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update, we'll be back in a few weeks for the kick-off of Ghost Town Alive. We can't wait!!
