One goal of the Camp Snoopy refresh is to make Knott’s visitors feel like they are joining the Peanuts characters during a day at camp, according to Cedar Fair Creative Development Director Ken Parks, who headed up the Camp Snoopy makeover.
“How would the Peanuts kids use Camp Snoopy if this were a real camp?” Parks said during an online video interview. “That’s really at the core. It will feel like the kids go to camp here.”
Read the rest at OCRegisterKnott's News: This will answer a lot of questions people may have:
Snoopy’s Tenderpaw Twister Coaster is replacing Timberline Twister and Camp Bus.
Sally’s Swing Along is replacing the High Sierra Ferris Wheel.
The Meet & Greet Headquarters that was introduced during the 30th Anniversary will be removed and the characters dispersed throughout the land.
Rocky Mountain Trucking Company will be expanded and renamed Camp Snoopy’s Off Road Rally (no word on whether the expansion will be utilizing Monte's footprint or if its relocating entirely as the video shows it side-by-side with the train).
The Grand Sierra Railroad will be rethemed to Beagle Express with new show scenes and an electric engine replacing the classic steam engine (this explains all the land clearing we've been seeing under Silver Bullet).
Camp Snoopy Theater will be relocated and redone with a much more permanent setup.
The Grizzly Creek Lodge will be rethemed to a camp ground mess hall, and Woodstock's Airmail will be relocated as rumored.
It sounds like it'll be pretty well in-line with the Fiesta Village overhaul as far as creating thematic consistency and expanded storytelling (I love that Sally’s Swing Along will have music to accompany it, much like SolSpin). I think the video they released doesn't give us a great idea of what they're planning, as we don't see the interconnectivity and too much of them look like they were made in Planet Coaster with generic landscaping / theming.
