The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread

[downunderWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^It's $60, but you can take up to 6 people in a group, then it would come to $10 a head. I'll be doing it for sure.

Knott's Berry Farm has sent us a press release announcing the debut of a new family-style meal at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant!

In honor of National Fried Chicken Day, Knott’s Berry Farm will introduce a new menu at its famous Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant. The heavily guarded secret recipe will not be altered, just the manner in which it will be served – family style.

Walter and Cordelia Knott came to Buena Park to farm in the 1920’s, but the onset of the Great Depression found the Knotts struggling to support their family of six. It was during that time that Walter approached Cordelia and asked if she would be willing to serve her famous fried chicken to guests stopping by the berry stand. For that first meal Cordelia served eight 65-cent dinners on her own wedding china. By 1940, visitors were standing in line for hours to enjoy Walter’s boysenberries (developed at the Farm with the help of friend Rudolph Boysen) and Cordelia’s chicken. The challenge of entertaining the crowds led Walter to create an authentic Ghost Town on the property and America’s first “themed” amusement park was born.

Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant has kept the menu true to the original serving up perfectly seasoned and fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, choice of chicken noodle soup or rhubarb, fresh salad bowl, choice of cabbage or corn, mouth-watering homemade biscuits, and a choice of pie- including boysenberry of course.

The family-style meal is an option for groups of 4 or more and is available from 11:00 am until restaurant closing (times vary).

Is Ghostrider running any better since the refurb? A man can dream...

[DJeXeLThis button makes my penis erect.]

^That's funny.

[Xceleratorfan96Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Getting close to Haunt time! So what are all the rumors at Knott's right now.
So far I have heard that they are thinking of removing Perilous Plunge and they may add a dark ride to the Kingdom of the Dinosaurs building.
Have any of y'all heard anymore?

Its funny you say that. I just got back from the TRP trip to Canada's Wonderland, and I have to say that Ghost Rider is glass smooth compared the the crap wooden coasters there. There is no doubt that Ghost ride could be smoother, it was once. But they do take good care of the ride considering the other woodies I've ridden that are barely maintained at all.

You can tell GhostRider's problem isn't in the track, on the ride it's not big bumps like on oh let's say Colossus, it's a constant small shaking. I feel like if they got new cars on that thing it would be a TON better! It's already a really fun wood coaster, the bumpiness it has is just annoying, not even painful.

[laqueefaDon't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

Anyone have an idea what tomorrows crowds will be like? I'm trying to surprise my gf with a visit and possibly her first Xcelerator ride.

Ummmm the crowds should be fairly large, it is a Friday. You have been to Knott's right? You can just avoid some rides...

I feel like those plans for the giga might have been true but were probably denied with the introduction of Matt Ouimet. We'll see if knott's does anything this season, but my gut tells me it will be more family oriented.
