Jaguar is my kind of roller coaster..nice and slow 🥰 The only one I would ride in knotts lol. I went many times in the late 70s and 80s and it was so different back then. None of these rollercoasters existed and there was theming in the middle of the park instead of rollercoaster tracks everywhere. Thank goodness the Ghost Town, Log ride and Calico Train are still there 😊 Miss the Can Can show in the Calico Saloon.

I was worried for a moment when you walked right past the baby rattlers without saying anything. But then you went back and I had to delete a comment. 🤣 Knott's is definitely one of the best. Perfect combination of classic and modern. I wish Lakeside here in Colorado could figure that out. So much history in both.

Between the 2 parks Knott’s is hands down my favorite amusement park. Actually my favorite amusement park in Southern CA. Disney is bigger and has a lot more rides but all the rides there are (what I like to say) very tamed. Even some of their “big rides” are very tamed with very little thrill in my opinion. But with Knott’s there’s less rides but more of a variety. It really does have something for everybody. You like big thrill rides like me? You’re covered. Like roller coasters but nothing too intense, no problem they got good smaller coasters (especially Sierra Sidewinder). Like water rides? They got a decent water rapids that you don’t get all that wet on but the theming of it is gorgeous though and then you got Timber Mountain Log Ride which isn’t as good as Splash Mountain WAS but still good and actually served as an inspiration for Splash Mountain. They got good flat rides and dark rides. Good shows and good food. And without a doubt no theme park does Haunted theming around Halloween time better than Knott’s Scary Farm.

For those that don’t know. The peanuts comics don’t own KBF but Knotts parent company, Cedar Fair bought the rights to use the peanuts IP in many of their theme parks. Also I work as a ride operator for xcelerator way back in the day. The best seats are the very front (for speed) and the very back (for more G force) so I can attest to that.

Xcelerator was Intamin's first hydraulically-launched roller coaster, which uses pressurized oil and a series of hydraulic fluid chambers to rapidly propel a coaster train along a straight section of track. It is not an LSM or LIM that utilizes electromagnetics

Hello Chris!! I've not been to Knotts in years. The last time I was there my oldest son was 2 years old. Maybe I'll have to go visit the park again some day.

Xcelerator launch isn't through magnetics, it is actually a hydraulic cable launch. It was the first hydraulic launch coaster that Intimin made, and later they used the same technology to create Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka which are currently the two tallest roller coasters in the world.

It being the first is apparently why the ride took so long to repair, as none of it's parts were made to standard size (heard from an engineer who worked on repairs a few years ago, no idea how to verify it).

I spent my summer days there as a kid and had many a family member dressed as the local bandit rob the train and stage coach back in the day. (Circa mid 1970s). Xcelerator is still one of the best coasters in the US and there is never a long line except on holidays. You can wander in at 2 or 3 in the afternoon on a weekday and stay till the place closes and get a dozen rides in. You can't say that about the house of mouse just down the road....

I am excited that I will be going to Knott's in August. First time going with my brother and I. I would like to add that they might allow glasses with a strap, but Knott's might have a stricter policy. Since Knott's is owned by Cedar Fair and Cedar Point allows glasses with a strap they probably will allow it.

I have not been at Knotts Berry Farm for many years as I literally hate roller coasters (at Disney I anxiously ride the elevator, although I enjoy it afterwards, as well as falling at Splash Mountain):, the only thing I liked was a very very classic and slow stagecoach ride ans well as a gravity defying magic cabin (I loved it at age 7). As Chris says, their food is delicious, every time we go to Disney, we try to eat the chicken and mermelade from Knotts. Greetings from Mexico !!

I remember field trips to Knott’s to study California history and panning for gold. On the way out, we would go to Independence Hall to see the re-creation of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Is that still a part of Knott’s? Montezuma’s Revenge was the first thrill ride at Knott’s and, if I’m not mistaken, it was the first looping coaster.

The rides that you have to leave all your belongings in a locker are becoming very common it seems. My son carries a handheld medical device and needs emergency medication with him at all times. 2 minutes would 'probably' be fine but we all know rides get stopped or delayed. Did they have exceptions to keep a few items on your person while you ride?
