Yesterland: Antique Auto Ride
Yester Knott’s Berry Farm gives you a choice of antique automobile rides.
There’s Henry’s Livery, in a far corner of a parking lot. That’s where you drive gasoline-powered cars on a track without a center rail. The ride lacks scenery, unless you count Beach Blvd. and parked cars to be scenic.
And then there’s the Antique Auto Ride, right next to the authentic Dentzel Merry-Go-Round. The electric cars run along a center rail, so there’s no need to steer. The track winds through a contoured, landscaped setting with scenic buildings and props.

2017: Knott's Soak City expansion
An exciting expansion, renovations and new additions are coming to Knott’s Soak City Water Park next summer.
Orange County’s largest water park will debut two water slide towers featuring exhilarating attractions geared for families and thrill seekers. Shore Break will tower over seven stories and offer six different thrilling water slide experiences. Four of the slides on the 60-foot tall tower will start with guests climbing inside an Aqua-Launch chamber where they will wait anxiously for the floor to drop out from underneath their feet, sending them into a high-speed, almost vertical free fall through a series of flat loops and S-curves in a translucent flume. Shore Break will also feature dueling tube slides that will zip riders through an enchanting series of drops and turns. The height requirements for Shore Break slides are 48 inches.

Knott's News: I'd be kind of surprised if this was all they added next year, considering this is a separate park from Knott's with it's own admission and a shorter season. They need something new to draw people to the main gate.

A Knott's Berry Farm steam locomotive is reborn
A steam locomotive at Knott’s Berry Farm has been reborn, a birthing that took seven years.
Engine No. 340, the “Green River,” is one of two engines owned by the farm. It and sister engine No. 41 were purchased in the early 1950s by Walter Knott to power the trains of the Ghost Town & Calico Railroad at the theme park.
Baldwin Locomotive Works built the engines in 1881 for the D & RGW (Denver & Rio Grande Western) Railroad. They are narrow-gauge locomotives designed to operate on steeper rail lines, with sharper turns, as found in the Rocky Mountains the railroad served.
The steam engines were refurbished and converted from coal burning to oil burning, then put to work at Knott’s hauling passengers on a 5/8-mile loop.
