Camp Snoopy reopened but still needs work!

Yesterday Camp Snoopy was technically re-opened to the public but most of it was in an unfinished state, with construction walls everywhere. They didn't even have an entrance sign...not even the restrooms were open...wtf? 

What they opened - Tenderpaw Twister and Off-Road Rally - look cool but they both suffer from horrible ride capacity, a problem since both attractions occupy the space of two former attractions each. The coaster is also overly constrictive with size limitations - making it difficult for parents to ride with their children - the whole advertised point of this revamp. The coaster space removed a lot of mature trees, resulting in a concrete desert of a queue that looks bad and must be terrible to wait in (especially if you get turned down for size and your child can't ride alone). 

Camp Snoopy is now down three attractions - Camp Bus, Huff n Puff and Woodstock's Airmail. Add to that two unfinished attractions - Camp Swing and Beagle Express - and you're down five attractions with two new attractions featuring horrible capacity. I wouldn't recommend anybody waste their time at Camp Snoopy right now with the state its in.

Let's hope that 2025 features a Phase 2 for Campy Snoopy in addition to the Fiesta Village Phase 2. Would be nice to finish what they started and get rid of that temporary looking area that replaced the theatre. It not only looks worse than the play area they demolished but its downright embarrassing.

Tough Day At The Office For Camp Snoopy Reopen!

Knott’s Camp Snoopy not quite ready for grand reopening

Knott’s Berry Farm cut the red ribbon on the reimagined Camp Snoopy with folding scissors from a giant Swiss Army pocket knife, but the refreshed kiddie land was not ready for the grand reopening with more than half of the new additions unfinished or slashed from the budget.

Camp Snoopy returned on Thursday, June 27 during a media ceremony at the Buena Park theme park after a seven-month refurbishment of the 41-year-old Peanuts themed land.

The plan for the Camp Snoopy makeover called for a new family coaster, super-sized kids swing and outdoor theater and an updated off-road rally race and miniature train ride while removing two original attractions from the themed land that opened in 1983.

Construction delays, adverse weather and shrinking budgets all played a role in the kiddie land debuting to the public in an unfinished state.

Knott's scaling back Campy Snoopy expansion!

So it has come to my attention that Knott's has silently scaled back the previously announced Campy Snoopy expansion scheduled to open this summer. The nicest and most anticipated addition - the new Camp Theater - has been cancelled and replaced with green space. The fate of Woodstock's Airmail and the lookout to be built above the barrel bridge is up in the air but presumed dead.

This is an unsettling trend from Knott's lately, as starting with the Fiesta Village they can't seem to finish a project as planned / announced. Is this bad luck, poor planning, bad management or Cedar Fair budget cutting? Whatever it is I hope they can figure it out
