Summer Fun at Knott’s Berry Farm #KnottsSummer

June 25th, 2014 by justJENN

Knott’s Berry Farm may been known for Halloween but when it comes to summer fun, Knott’s covers all the bases. Camp Snoopy for the little adventurers, rollercoasters for the bigger kids and my favorite, Knott’s Chicken Dinner for all!

This summer is going to be even better because Knott’s has announced a bunch of new and updated attractions! Camp Snoopy is celebrating it’s 30th anniversaryby introducing three brand new rides!

Charlie Brown’s Kite Flyer where campers can “fly a kite” with Charlie Brown and soar in swings 18 feet above the ground, all centered around the iconic Kite-eating Tree!

Pig Pen’s Mud Buggies lets kids climb aboard mini all-terrain vehicles that spin, bounce, and bump, while Pig Pen looks on.

Linus Launcher is where guests lay on Linus’ blankets while Snoopy launches them into the air.

This summer an enhanced Grand Sierra Railroad will be unveiled which will now include six new scenes and a dozen new Peanuts characters all while Linus narrates the journey for you along the way. Here’s a sneak peek at how the designers put together the Peanuts gang for the improved Camp Snoopy Grand Sierra Railroad.

Over in Ghost Town, not only has the Timber Mountain Log Ride been refurbished but Knott’s has taken one of it’s iconic rides, The Calico Mine Co Ride, and given it a brand new top-to-bottom refurbishment.

The Calico Mine Co. Ride is a favorite for Knott’s fans of all ages and I remember spending many a summer taking the mine train ride down into the caverns. A ground breaking ride back in 1960 when it first opened, The Calico Mine Co. Ride now has 120 new animatronic figures, state-of-the art lighting, audio, and all-new special effects. Just take a look at this behind the scenes video of the new Calico Mine Co. Ride.

The Calico Mine Co. Ride has always been one of my favorites and at 8 minutes long, you definitely get to experience every aspect of this beautifully restored ride.

With all these new additions Knott’s is definitely staking it’s claim as the place to be for all-ages summertime family fun!
