May 2, 2016 - Knott's 75, Ghostrider and Chicken Dinner Restaurant

Picture
Today we have a LONG overdue update from Knott's Berry Farm where a lot of work has been going on in preparation for the 75th Anniversary of Ghost Town and of course the major refurb of Ghostrider. 

There's also lots more going on around the area including the reopening of the Chicken Dinner Restaurant which looks AMAZING. 

Written by Gregg Condon
It was a beautiful spring day at the park. Sadly two of the major coasters were closed during our visit. 
Picture
Let's start off with a look at the Wagon Camp and all the work going on. 
Picture
Lots of work going on for the Wild West Stuntshow.

Ghostrider looks closer and closer to being done and the trains should be on-site by now. 
Picture

A peek in the station, no sign of trains. 
Picture
Some kind of platform has been added beneath the turnaround. 
Picture
Still working on stuff
Picture

Picture

Pan For Gold is back at the front of the park where it belongs and it looks great!!! 
Picture
Picture
Should be much more popular in a more visible location. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
A look at the previous location.

Picture
Last week the Chicken Dinner Restaurant reopened and it looks amazing!!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lots of outside seating towards the back, will be a nice spot to spend some summer evenings.

A peek inside
Picture
Picture
We've seen a lot of complaints about the restaurant looking too "modern" or non-original, we didn't get that impression at all. It looks amazing in person. 
Picture
Picture
One of the more popular locations is going to be the bar of course. 
Picture
Picture

Picture
Lots of work still going on for the 75th Anniversary of Ghost Town
Picture
Work going on for the living peek-in's
Picture
Picture
The Barn is getting set to host live animals
Picture

The new stage is springing up rather quickly
Picture
Picture
Picture
The show area for the new stage is supposedly going to be bigger which will be nice
Picture
No word on how Pony Express is going to impact the shows
Picture

Lots of random things going on at the park as well. 

​Some work in the games area near The Log Ride
Picture
Picture
Xcelerator was closed, the purple train was on the break run so not sure if it was just down for the day or is in refurb. 
Picture
Picture
Jaguar is also getting some TLC as the supports have been repainted to their original color. 
Picture
Picture
From the lift hill of Sierra Sidewinder it looked like the 2nd train for Jaguar was receiving a pretty extensive refurb, but of course we can't take pictures from the ride. 
Picture
New Guest Relations area is open near Ghostrider. 
Picture
Picture
The area where Riptide was has now been redone to a nice park. It looks really nice but hopefully a new ride will return to this area for 2017. 
Picture
Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. We had lots of stuff to cover so we apologize for it being a bit too long. We do hope you enjoyed it though. 

Once we get word of testing going on with Ghostrider we will for sure be doing another update.
