Knott's Berry Farm Summer Kick-Off

Picture
This past Saturday we were invited out to Knott's for the kick-off of their summer celebration. 

This included a plethora of all new shows, events, ghost town citizens and of course, extended summer hours. Below we'll look at the shows and also a review of the Knott's Fast-Lane which was amazing to have on a busy Saturday. 

Pictures and Words by Gregg Condon
We arrived at the park around 11:30 ready to check-in for the event

After a quick ride on Ghostrider and the all new Iron Reef thanks to our Fast Lane, it was time for the ice show.

The Ice Show is always a welcome break from the summer heat.

We decided to take a front row seat over to the side, which turned out to be a good decision as lots of action takes place on stage left.

The dancers and skaters are, as always top notch.

The story shouldn't be surprising based on the name, it's really a tribute to Hollywood using the Peanuts characters with a great mix of music and fun.

All of the lead skaters get a chance to shine, sometimes multiple chances, which means the show runs about 35-40 minutes. Not sure if they'll cut some segments as the run goes on to give people a day off, but it wouldn't be the worst thing to cut it down by 5 minutes or so.

That said, the talent on display is tremendous and as always, the show is a lot of fun.

After the show it was time to head over to one of the picnic area's for a great lunch provided by the park. If you've never had one of Knott's picnic area buffet's, you are totally missing out. 

Then it was back into the park to put our Fast Lane to use. The longest wait we had all day was probably GhostRider at about 10 minutes but only because we waited for the front row. 

From about 3:00 to 5:30 we rode the following rides with minimal wait. This also included doing some shopping and refilling our souvenir bottle with boysenberry punch a few times. =)

Overall we had an amazing day at the park, we missed a few of the shows we wanted to see due to just having fun so we'll have to be sure to head back soon to check them out. 

But if you are planning on going to the park on a weekend during the summer, you can't go wrong with the Fast Lane. It really does make you able to enjoy all the great stuff at Knott's with no stress. 

Be sure to get to Knott's this summer for the extended hours, new shows and apparently there are some new nighttime effects on Montezooma's Revenge. Unfortunately we didn't hear about them until we left the park for the day. But we definitely want to check that out. 

The park will also most likely be doing their 4th of July event this year, so we'll certainly share that information with you when the park sends it to us.
