With the whirring of roller coasters and screaming of thrill-seekers emanating from the background, families ruffled through their tents trying to figure out how to pitch them.
“This isn’t working,” said Bailey Webb, 16, of Mission Viejo, as he and his family worked to get their tent up. “Oh my god, this is really difficult.”
Webb was one of about 20 people who came to spend the night under the stars at Knott’s Berry Farm’s inaugural Coaster Campout. Those with special tickets got two days of admission and a chance to camp in a field next to the theme park’s replica of Independence Hall.
The campout was organized by Knott’s parent company, Cedar Fair, in honor of National Roller Coaster Day, which is Saturday. Proceeds from the event, which is also being held at eight other Cedar Fair parks, are going to local Boys & Girls Clubs chapters.
For $200, attendees got four tickets to the park Thursday and Friday, a campsite in the Park Pavilion Picnic Center, a free parking pass and four meal vouchers for either dinner on Thursday or breakfast on Friday at select Knott’s restaurants.
