Happiness is… A Knott’s Berry Farm Update!

It’s time to check in on Knott’s Berry Farm! Although Knott’s has only been open to the public for theme park operations for a few weeks, there’s so much going on that we prepared a giant update for you. Between the Summer Nights festivities and rambunctious entertainment around the Farm, there’s always something going on.

A legendary, yet mostly forgotten theme park ride rises from the grave at Knott’s Berry Farm

That is, until nostalgia willed a version of it back into existence. While Crump’s age will likely keep him from visiting the attraction, he’s pleased, of course, that his most personal ride has been re-imagined.

“I think other people should have a crack at it, so this is good,” he says. “I want other people to pick up the ball and go with it.”

Then, Crump pauses and starts asking questions about the lighting on the new ride: Did they get it right, and does it work with the mix of digital and physical sets? “I can’t wait to talk to my son about the lighting to see if they did a good job on the lighting,” says Crump. “That was really important to me.”

First Look at Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair - New Ride at Knott's Berry Farm

Knott’s Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair is Jam-Packed with Family Fun!

"For those who can’t enjoy some of the more thrilling attractions at Knott’s, this could be one of the best experiences in the park. In fact, I think Bear-y Tales is a bonified slam-dunk regardless of demographic. The marriage of modern interactive elements and witty, classic dark ride creates an attraction with re-rideability that many guests will continue to enjoy for years to come. Our only question is, when can we have more Knott’s dark rides?"

Knott’s Bear-y Tales delivers fast and furious game play in fun tribute to 1970s ride

"That’s certainly the case with the new Knott’s Bear-y Tales ride. The game play takes over and the storytelling gets lost. Even when you’re looking for the storytelling, the manic game play unfolding on the screens gets in the way.

The tale is there in Bear-y Tales — you’ll just have to look hard for it. Which will take multiple rides — the sign of a good dark ride. In your quest, you’ll have to fight your way through a never-ending army of coyotes to get to that story."

Meet the Knott's Bear-y Tales gang! (Boysen Bear-y, Brawnie, and Moxie)


Knott's News: I love the new walk around characters!!! Moxxie and Brawny, wonderful names for the pups. They look fantastic and it warms my heart knowing Knott's is going all in with this IP. I also don't believe Crafty - the most popular character on the ride - ever had a walk around character, so this may be the first time ever he gets some in-park representation. 

 Here is a shot of the old walk around characters:

Knott’s Berry Farm Partially Opens for NEW Festival!

It’s been a while since we could actually say this, but welcome back to the Farm! As a big surprise, Knott’s announced a new festival last week, The Taste of Calico. Taking place in Ghost Town, the park is hosting a mini food festival that features more than 20 food items. While parts of the park are open for this festival, they are not operating any attractions, rides, nor large entertainment. Instead, Knott’s is operating within California’s strict business guidelines, serving food in an outdoor environment only. However, you will also find craft booths and many Ghost Town shops open as well. So there’s a surprising amount to do in the mostly closed park. Let’s take a look at the new operations and festival....
