This past Friday we had the great opportunity to get some great backstage tours at Knott's Berry Farm for their 2016 additions including Ghost Town's 75th Anniversary, the Chicken Dinner Restaurant re-do and of course Ghostrider. 

Check out all the great pictures and video below.

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.

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.
