Bonkers Post Holiday update from Knotts Berry Farm

[@gdy2shus]

I hope you renew your pass. I love your Knott's videos. Grew up with Knott's and have recently moved to Florida. I will appreciate your Knott's videos more now than ever. I miss my old home park even if I have new wonderful parks to explore. There is just something special about Knott's Berry Farm.

[@JeffHarrisson-c7f]

YES!! Please do a ‘drink your way around Knott’s’!! Will DEFINITELY watch!!!

[@Lilhtotheizzo84]

@@JeffHarrisson-c7f lol agreed

[@mistyelzey]

Yes, please do more Knotts Berry Farm , it doesn't get the love it should

David! Inspire key holder here, was at Knott’s during the Disney blackout period. I saw you by the log ride on this day; thank you for being so nice when I said hello! We basically went to take pictures with Santa Snoopy and didn’t do much else because of the crowd density. We went again yesterday 12/30, and the crowd was EVEN WORSE. The lines for food and even the restrooms were the worst I have ever seen. We only saw the Snoopy on Ice show and threw in the towel.

[@CarolCap131]

Honestly it would be worth it to me to have a fresh baked sighting lol. Fresh baked AND Santa seems like a real win! Happy holidays.

[@capcaveman86]

Wow I did not expect a Knott's update before the end of the big 2024!!! Fresh Baked Cooks again!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Lilhtotheizzo84]

I LOVE when David visits other parks lol its funny to see a Disney expert look like a out of town rookie at Knotts! 😂 Please continue to keep up the expansion of parks as its a fresh breath of air from Disney and also is fun to learn along side the adventures. Hapoy New Years!

[@RevN3]

Knott's drink day sounds like some AMAZING content!!! I would watch the hell out of that!!

[@BDaviddiesel]

Fresh baked, enjoying the smell of some fresh baked cookies. A beautiful thing.

[@prettycyber8332]

As a kid Calico train and the log ride were my favorites. Boomerang too!!

[@katyinwonderland]

I always gage Knotts crowds by the parking situation. I drove by 12/26 and every lot was packed (North, South, East, West) so I just went home. Haha

[@jeremygoggins6378]

Do it David! Drink and fast lane! Will absolutely watch!

[@frauwolftherehorse]

Yeah Knott's

[@tony.9363]

This is perhaps the busiest time ever for Knotts. I've never seen lines that long at Knotts.

[@jasonsutton6808]

Definitely drink around Knotts! 👍I promise to watch. (I'd watch anyway)

[@xFaithkeeperx]

For Single use fast lane they have kiosks around rides and park.

[@Christy-fv6bx]

Absolutely LOVE HangTime, always get the front row!!

[@Themeparknewsandmore]

The special needs pass at knotts is horribly abused at Knotts. I can’t count the times I walked passed that line and heard people coming up with ways to get the pass. Having a pass to every theme park in socal Knotts is still by far the better value. For less than the price of the Enchant key at Disney I have 16 months of no black out days, season dining plan, season drinks + and season fast lane. Best time to buy is in August during their annual sale. The food is great with about 85% of knots menu being part of the dining plan. Burgers, tenders, hot dogs, chili cheese fires, BBQ, turkey legs, burritos, pizza, pasta, bread bowls, tater tot plates and salads! What more can you ask for. I ended my 2024 pass with 46 visits! Well worth my purchase.

[@Mona_U27]

Magic key holder here. Magic Mountain was also the same wait times if not longer this past weekend. Patiently waiting to go back to Disneyland.😊

[@vikidominguez3108]

Not sure if they still are doing it, but with the Prestige Pass you get 1 free single use Fast Lane ticket, per visit. Go up to a retailer and request it, they will scan your pass and print it out for you. Also the Prestige lounge inside the dress shop is pretty chill. TVs , outlets to charge your devices and couches. A little bit of free snacks and water. Can also refit your drink pass there.

[@kayclark4406]

Went to Knotts on Friday after Christmas for the entertainment not the rides. Crowds were big, long lines for everything including the shows. Saw Snoopy on ice, one of the plays, the country band at the Christmas tree. All excellent shows!! Disneyland needs to bring back entertainment! Planned to let our passes expire but ended up renewing them!!

[@chrisfaver3116]

Love the Knotts updates. Literally grew up around the corner from KBF and even worked there 20 years ago. I still visit occasionally and do miss the vibe of KBF around ago.

[@mrs.bdaycare5530]

We just left Knotts a few hours ago. No lines/ no waits. Got on 6 rides with in 3 hours

[@vincentr90]

I like these small updates from knotts

[@peterzimmer9801]

Great video as always, David! I am honestly not a huge fan of the intense thrill rides at Knott’s! But ghost rider, calico mine train, and the timber mountain log ride are a must! Thank you for all that you do! I wish you a happy new year to you, Liz, and Sophia! Fresh Baked!!🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🎄🎄☃️☃️☃️🎅🎅🎅❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@LycanKnght]

As a commonly visiting passholder, the way to judge the wait time for Ghostrider is 2 hours from the fence line by the "pen", 2 1/2 from the area by Pan for Gold, 3 hours from the cave entrance, & so on. The app isn't always up to date

[@jonreed8281]

David, we want to see you drink your way around the park!

[@kristahackleylmt2064]

I love Knottsberry Farm and the history behind it. David, your videos may help inspire positive change at the park.. don't give up.. I love this park! Anytime Kids are on break and school is out, it's busy everywhere.. so I hide from them.. haha. Like you said .. best time to go to the parks is when the kids are at school. You do a fantastic job with your channel and I hope you keep it going forever. When I had to shut my business down in 2020 because of Govt Plandemic2020.. I found you and thank God I did because it's been the hardest time of my life these last four years. You and all the other great vloggers that go to Disneyland and share their adventures have helped keep me going and inspired me to start my own channel. I'm forever grateful! 🙏 Please keep these great videos coming.. So many people, including me, appreciate your love for life and the parks. Many blessings to you David and your family. Happy New Year 2025! ❤

[@JeanetteBarnard-st9uy]

Hi David I love how you do all these videos so well. We Fresh Baked people learn a lot. Hope you and Liz, your daughter and son Have A Happy New Year. Wishing the best for 2025 ❤️🌟🌠🎇🎆😃

[@michaelsmith2925]

The Philly cheese 🧀 steak tots were the best thing on there meal plan on my opinion but love the vlogs and all the great info you provide❤

[@StormyVoltzzz]

Thanks for showing us the happenings going around Knotts David! Have not been to Knotts since I was a teenager.

[@audreyharman1173]

Yes please, drink around Knott’s, I’d watch. I love your content! As a small child in So Cal, we visited KBF many times. I remember the log ride when it first opened. It was my favorite. And the train robbers scared me into thinking the would take my coin purse. Now I think back at how silly that seems!

[@Gunner40Five]

We live two states away from Knotts, and always get a season pass. We make it down two or three times a year.

[@kerrizor]

I've been missing the updates from Knotts and Universal!

[@jamiecameron-harley5001]

Yes! Sounds fun. Drink your way through Knotts! I too will definitely watch. 😊

[@CarolCap131]

Oh David! I’m with you on barely being able to WATCH that spinning la revolution ride. Seeing fresh baked would be the highlight of a knott’s berry farm day any time of year! Curious how many people you got to talk with? My daughter and her family are coming to la from the east coast in June for her 50th birthday . She hasn’t been in this park since she was 6. She’ll be in hotel near Toy Story parking lot . About how long from there to knott’s? Anywhere is an interesting time if you have fresh baked for company. Thanks for you constant good humor!

[@JohnLongo-nh7wm]

Thank you FreshBaked!

[@craiglaw7578]

Hi David, Have you ever done a Knott’s video on: “Everything Knott’s does Right” I’d really be interested in that! What would happen if Knott’s kept their park as clean as Disneyland? Would ticket prices go through the roof? You always cheer me up; thanks for everything you do!

[@stevepaul1190]

👍🏻 Yes, drink your way around the park! I promise I’ll watch-I watch all the FB videos!!! FRESH BAKED!!!

[@appleforever6664]

Here at Disneyland today. Was able to get on Space, Matterhorn and Thunder at Rope Drop under 1.5 hours.

[@ktgrandma2213]

Was incredible busy day. I think they don’t have the times correct because they don’t have enough staff to keep up on it they just don’t have the time. Also the carnival rides will take that long because of safety reasons. He couldn’t get them off that ride until it stopped and he even told them it takes longer if you keep swinging. Yes I would love seeing a drink around the park. Great video as always Dave

[@gregstillman5197]

I was hoping for a Knotts Berry Farm review, that and the Universal update maybe coming soon.......

[@seanc0317]

Yes, drink your way around the park David. I would so enjoy that video a lot!

Thank you, I think this is the best knott's video I've seen you do!😃

[@je5406]

Best to stay home amd watch reruns during this time of year.

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

I always loved Knotts Berry Farm when I was a kid back in the 1960s. Not living in Southern California. The last time I was to Knotts was 1980. I’m sure there have been some changes.

[@kimberlyapril9562]

Yes, get the fastlane and drink your way around Knotts!

[@koslegoman]

More Knotts!

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked. David, what away to go. Spend all day just walking around I for one am completly worn out. I can here the couch calling me for the rest of the day. Should you need a drinking companion for your "Drink around Knott's Day." Sign me up. Happy New Year David, Liz, Sofia you 3 are full of FreshBaked Goodness! Cheers, Chris Perry.

Yes, Knott's nerfed the dining plan. Thanks for telling me that they pulled the Fireman's Grill ribs off the plan. They also pulled Ghost Town Grille and Johnny Rockets off the plan.

[@ethanwolach8047]

Fastlane and drink around the park! I’d watch and I’d join

Where did you hear they were adding a second train?

[@calistogasteve3128]

Happy New Year Dave to you and your family!

[@thatbigblackguychannel2576]

Knotts is the big revenue generator for this company and it seems as if they are funneling the profits toward Six Flags at the cost of operations for Knotts. All trains, literal and rollercoaster, plus employees should be on deck.

[@JosephYesh]

Yeah... I would never do the vomit machine either. 😂

[@Ragdoll104]

👍 please do the drink around Knotts video

[@CheezyTots1]

Fast lane is the only way to do knotts now. It was so crowded this year. Still enjoy it. Never feel ripped off as I do at Disneyland. We eat at portillos so never have to wait in those long lines for food.

[@Lilhtotheizzo84]

Its defibitely not. I have personally been during the holidays and throughout the year. we took pictures the park was so empty. You just cant go right by Christmas and New Years. Whats so hard to understand about that?

[@AmyDunham-q5s]

lol yes drink your way around the park with fast lane and with Liz too. Let’s gooooooooo

[@Cheetapens]

👍 I need to see the drunken Knotts crawl!

[@b.m.f2153]

The food plan is pretty awesome. I'll say it's even better than Disneyland's food plan. Oh wait. That's right. 😂 Boardwalk bbq, burrito in fiesta village 👍good ole panda use your food plan. Btw just go to the general store the cashier will print a fast pass for you. No problem. I remember when you paid $29 for slider tacos at downtown Disney and you were still hungry😂.

[@jedimaster4088]

David, yes but enjoy you doing the fast lane and drinking around Knotts Berry.

[@Xologrim1]

Yes please do fast line and drink around the park

[@MRivero-ut3to]

Do it! Fast lane and drink your way around the park!

[@christopherjunkins]

👍 yea I'll put in for that. I'll make that deal!

[@sr_spongebob]

Trying to understand, they can't wait in ride lines, but they can wait an hour and a half in a DAS line?

[@jennifermcneil8349]

Whats the slowest load time at disney? 5 minutes for that ride seems like a long time 1:04:42

[@jacobn7482]

Please do it! Would love to watch the vid

Try the “Chipotle” bowls. They’re pretty good.

I saw you fresh baked i met you outside where you meet santa!

[@porkins74]

And next week the entire park will be a ghost town.

[@JosephYesh]

45 mins to get nachos!? Then all the other long lines for food... I'd starve if I was there! 😂

[@shirleysquirly]

Margarita ride crawl!!!!

[@Kyle_The_Mighty]

Does drinking your way around the park include going on all the rides? 😂😂😂

[@PhoenixVic21]

👍🏼😂🍺 It is so sad how the logistics of Knott's is so poor. Lines are ridiculous with no urgency from workers for both rides and food. Knott's is a great park but operations need to change in order to hold up. Get a better app! Train your works to make lines faster! The price is great, if you can actually get to do anything, and at least they are grading live entertainment!

[@ericfigueroa9519]

Inspire key holder here ! First of all, I’m not renewing my pass, and it’s expiring today. I went to Knotts on Saturday, December 28th, and it was super crowded. I’ve been wanting to try some of the rides, but it was impossible to get on them. Also, I don’t really see any good food options there, and it’s more expensive than Disneyland so I just couldn't take it so I left early.

[@vikidominguez3108]

This is my first year I’m not renewing my Knott’s pass. I only went 10 times this year , each time too crowded and little to no live entertainment. I’m also letting my Disney pass expire this year ( in a few months) bc that’s too much planning ( feeling more like a job - wake up early) I’ll still go to Disney on occasion, once or twice a year at this point.

[@SheenaButt-xk5tv]

👍yes!

[@ilovegodzilla]

Informal recon: For the DAS pass line, if all 4 counters are open, it takes appx. 30 sec - 1 minute per group to process. If there is a problem or an associate leaves their post, then all bets are off. 😂

[@ChristianCarmona-y2b]

Good morning, Dave

[@guinealove.986]

I can’t go to another amusement park without comparing it to Disneyland. This nothing compares efficiency quality, cleanliness food quality. I know Disneyland expensive but I’d rather pay for Disneyland than a so so amusement park.

[@keithwillis3761]

Don't feel too bad about the app. I went to guess services to purchase a single use fastlane, and they had issues also. They had to call I.T. and they said it wasn't working. They gave me a credit to use via email link. The link went to a totally different site, the link worked. Hopefully they update their backend services to resolve it. They operate at a level below Disney and Universal. Still had a good time though. But I don't expect the app to actually be fully functional. It wasn't just you.

[@CarolCap131]

Calling it “guess services” seems like a Freudian slip after David’s pointing out how bad wait time estimates are. Daughter is considering going in June on a 50 th birthday trip. Interested to hear you still had a good time.

Knott’s doesn’t open the Single Lane, Fast Lane, until 2 pm. I discovered this when I went for my first time this past June. I seriously want to love Knott’s but their operations were horrible. The workers are very nice people, it’s just Knott’s doesn’t know how to be efficient. I will never go to Knott’s again without paying for the Fast Lane unless it’s not busy.

[@AdamConus]

If they do rebuild it, they should rename it Revenge of Montezuma's Revenge. I think they will, eventually, and no matter how good the new version is, people will say they prefer the original.
