Trio-Tech lands a nearly $10 million contract for Voyage to the Iron Reef
Triotech landed a contract worth nearly 10 million US dollars to create the next big attraction of Knott's Berry Farm in California. For the Quebec company specializing in the attractions ...

Knott's News: Yeah, I know this is old news but I've been a little occupied as of late. Since I don't subscribe to this news outlet and won't for a single article, I'll have to work with the headline as my one source of information.
From what Google Translate says, Trio-Tech landed a near $10 million contract to make Voyage to the Iron Reef for Knott's. I feel like most people are assuming this is the overall attraction budget, and with such limited access to the article and limited understanding of the language, it may very well be but the fact that they specifically say "contract" makes me think that figure doesn't represent the complete attraction budget but instead what Trio-Tech is getting for their contributions. After all, Trio-Tech has publicly stated that this is the largest contract in their 15 years of existence (wouldn't make sense if that was the budget, as it's roughly the same as Guardian) . From what we know, Knott's designed (or co-designed, they haven't been clear) the attraction in-house and any physical sets or scenic work will be handled by them, including the queue and show building. I suspect these aspects of production weren't included in that number.
As it is, this is all speculation and I'm anxious for more information maybe shedding a little more light on the physical aspects of this attraction (definitely curious as to what the show building will look like and if the surrounding area will change at all).

Behind the Holiday Season Scenes at Knotts Berry Farm
People like to complain that Southern California has no discernible seasons. But at Knott’s Berry Farm, on the first day of its Knott’s holiday season, signs of change are all around from the lighting of the Christmas tree to snow flurries every hour in the evenings in Ghost Town—and especially on the menu from Calico Square to Santa’s Cabin.
John Chiu is our tour guide, giving us a glimpse of what Knott’s Merry Farm has to offer. As Director of Food and Beverage at one of the most popular theme parks in North America, Chiu has the inside track on new seasonal treats: after all, his day-to-day responsibilities have him covering roughly 160 acres of theme park land, checking up on all of the park’s 40 restaurants and food stands to ensure that they’re meeting “the four cornerstones of [Knott’s parent company] Cedar Fair—safety, service, courtesy, and cleanliness—all held together by integrity.”
That inside track is vital. It’s a big park, and there’s a lot to see.
