An extensive renovation of the 1987 BigFoot Rapids at the Buena Park theme park debuting this summer will transform the river rapids water ride into an animated attraction with nine thematic scenes and more than 20 animatronic figures.
The new look, aesthetic and design of the reimagined Knott’s ride was inspired by legendary Disney Imagineer Marc Davis, according to Parks.
“Marc Davis was such an inspiration that I wanted to include a few nods,” Parks said in an email interview. “These are new scenes, but their sense of tone is definitely an homage to Mr. Davis.”

Knott's News: It sounds great but only time will tell how effective the staging will be on a river raft ride when they can't design the layout with the show scenes in mind. Still, I love the story and design direction they're taking. They've used Marc Davis-esque gags in their past renovations at Knott's but I'm incredibly thrilled that they're taking it up a knotch (see what I did there).
