they could rip out Xcelerator and I wouldn't cry. Its cool, but it takes up an awful lot of space for such a short ride. I'd still take the Soap Box Derby over it any day.

Knotts will loose a lot of attendance in 2012 if they don't announce anything. USH has Transformers to look forward to and it also has the Harry Potter world coming soon. SFMM is also announcing Lex Luthers drop of doom. If Knotts wants to keep their attendance up than they are going to have to announce something MAJOR soon.

Doesn't really matter at this point because even if they do announce something "Major" it won't be open until December at the earliest and that's being EXTREMELY optimistic.

It sounds like they're only going to stick with Windseeker as their main marketing tool. Makes sense considering that they never could get it open in time for Summer last year.

Guys, attendance at Knott's is not going to simply nosedive in one season just because other SoCal parks announce new attractions and Knott's doesn't. They'll be just fine and won't be "left in the dust."

Wait- here's an idea! Why doesn't Cedar Fair just announce that they will be putting California's Great America INSIDE Knott's Berry Farm! :omg: Solves two problems for CF and then Knott's will never decline....

The park will be fine. They went 3 years between Pony Express and Windseeker......They will do just fine.

um, you do realize that with all these additions will provide tourist to come, and possibly visit Knott's. Every year that Disney puts something in, Knott's in return gets a boost in attendance as well, simply by the proximity the two parks share.

I don't see that not putting anything in this year is a liability for Knott's.

nothing new will be arriving for the summer season anyways, so what does it matter if they announce it now? We still won't have it for awhile.
