I don’t know why everyone is now ok with unfinished products. Videos games, movies, music, and theme parks now are all being rushed for no apparent reason.
It’s not Knotts lol… it’s the Cali tax hike! People need to educate themselves on this.
@@kurtlogan6912What are you going on about? Knott’s had parts for Camp Swing sitting behind Claim Jumper since February. The train has been testing for weeks. Those things should and could have been open. And then there are their hideous operations, particularly on the new jeep ride. There’s just no excuses for that.
@@kurtlogan6912 I agree people like this dummy above me has no education at all. I mean he can't even spell his name right lmfao
@@gregg5958grow up greg. You're 40 not 5 years old lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ryanstrong1167 First off, you don’t know my age.
Secondly, ironic comment for someone who paints the screen with emojis. Do you have some of your artwork posted on the refrigerator too?
Third, what does your lame comment even have to do with what I wrote? You’re the one who needs to grow up, and stop trolling and projecting while you are at it.
Good grief!
Even the snoopy statue near the entrance looks mediocre and unfinished. The snoopy canoe that was on the waterfall was already good. Why mess with it?
I’m very disappointed in Knott’s Berry for I’m not completing everything considering it was their chance to shine over Disneyland by them not doing anything to really improve the park that well. If they needed a little bit more time, they should’ve just taken it and making it look really good in time for the Olympics coming in four years. I doubt Disneyland’s gonna offer anything for the Olympic at all. That’s what makes me disappointed and Knotts berry farm. Also, can you address what happened with the plans of building a big roller coaster and stuff I would like to know about that and maybe do long because that was exciting.
Nobody is shining over Disneyland other than universal being a competitor. They just needed more time.
Thank you for bringing up the 15+ year old Giga-Coaster rumor. That would be an amazing "largest investment in Knotts history" type of project... If the new cedar fair/Six Flags company thinks that their largest attended park in their portfolio is worthy of such a large investment.
Judging by the way this project has gone, the Montezooma debacle, and the 2 year long closure if Xcelerator which retired with STILL only 1 train, I don't have high hopes.
Knott's is a guaranteed cash cow because of it low prices & uncompromising easy on the consumer map plan. You just can't beat it, and they know it. That's why they invest VERY minimally in the park, and that business strategy continues to work.
I have 2 kids, single parent, and I can tell you first hand, by far, Knotts is THE best value for families. Period.
I just wish the updates to the park were more consistent & complete. Rides need to be more reliable & high capacity.
Operations DESPERATELY needs to be reformed inside and out.
They need to incentivize having faster dispatch times across all the ride-ops in park, motivate them to work faster and more efficiently
I'm am ex ride op of Knotts, at Xcelerator. We took GREAT pride in moving the line as quickly as possible....this current gen in lacks the same motivation and passion...hiwever,cat Disneyland management has done a great job instilling amongst their cast the pride of legacy and guest expectations of their park, everyone buys into that idea, and you have amazing ops over there.
I really feel like Knotts felt that they can't miss summer season when it's only gonna hurt them. Cutting the theater & patio was a hurtful hit to everyone. And I honestly wish they kept the camp bus over Woodstock airmail, just cuz of how it truly fit the theme of going to camp with the characters on the windows.
They should’ve done a proper phased reopening instead of just throwing stuff together at the last minute and calling it a grand reopening.
08:00 I wholeheartedly thank you & appreciate your focus on the "bathroom talk", I've been a huge advocate for that across the entire knott's property & urinal deviders for the men's restrooms.
Yes ladies, there are STILL some men's restrooms at Knotts that don't have dividers, it's just an open social thing going on...I'm looking at the xcelerator, information~main gate, marketplace~build-a-bear, log-ride, soak city~parking lot tunnel entrance restrooms for refurbishment next.
I do miss your "Giga" at Knotts jokes, it kept the spirit of that dream alive in the hearts and minds of many OC/LA coaster enthusiasts, AKA "thusies" like myself 😊
The main gate restrooms need it SO bad. Especially since due to their location they are probably the most used restrooms in the park! And it looks like it. And the Xcelerator ones are just ugly and have always looked temporary to me. It has the look and feel of temporary trailer restrooms at concerts. Those two would be at the top of my list.
The grassy area got umbrellas the next day. My guess the poles are for string lights.
Why even open it with a ceremony when its not all opened. Jesus knott’s. Its carnie rides
I am glad the bathrooms got redone. My god. The old ones there were sooo bad
Cedar Fair is in disarray, apparently. I concur the merger directly impacted the construction plans. The management team has to reauthorize all development plans and budgets.
Thank You Dylan for the updates on Knotts Berry Farm. I hope they finish upgrading with everything soon. I'm sure everything will look nice once they're finished. 🙏 😊
I like their merchandise 👍
What a pathetic opening honestly. Fiesta Village set a high bar, but they did the limbo right under it! “how low can you go” indeed. Hopefully this is a minor bump and they get their stuff together quickly.
The jeeps look way better than the semi trucks, but it's unfortunate that they got rid of the pump cart ride. I remember riding that as a kod.
the most iconic ride!!! i loved that ride so much
I’m still upset about the pump cars being gone
Did knotts know it was the grand opening?? I don’t know about all these fake turf areas, including at Toon town at Disneyland. They end up not being very appealing, and then not utilized, or people park their strollers there.
The train was running Saturday.
I did see people climbing on the rocks near the waterfalls. There was even a kid sitting above the Cave In. They need to close that off.
I hope the turf area is temporary.
It isn't
I guess the Six Flags influence is starting to take affect.
Must have been something involving the merger, or maybe even something else. Nobody really knows.
I’m just hoping that things can be finished.
I remember that the Timberline needed the breaks to be manually done by the operator 😂
This is so disappointing and unbecoming of Knott's. I have no idea why they would open a land that's only 30% complete and choose to cancel the beautiful theatre only to give us a Home Depot parking lot in its place. Knott's is supposed to be better than this...did Chapek get a job there? This is definitely a stain on their reputation and I fear with Six Flags taking over, it will only get worse.
Why does everyone keep getting confused on the merger? Cedar Fair controls the merged company. They just took the Six Flags name. The old Six Flags does not run Knott’s.
One day Mystery Lodge will reopen. I’m thinking in 10 years lol 😂
Yeah that is puzzling they’d open it like that! Knott’s has higher standards than most cedar fair parks, I’d expect them to be complete and well themed always.
Agreed they made the camp snoopy in a rush and they should have taken there time to build it
If they were going to rush it open before full completion...They SHOULD have opened it on July 1st...the day when Camp Snoopy originally opened back in 1983.
Just those few days...they could have put up the Camp Snoopy Sign...the clock in front of the shop...put some shade and other changes to that big grass super heater area...which really should have had some bigger trees planted around...and they could have had the train up and running!
Well you can see the effects of the new Cedar Fair & Six Flags merger. Camp Snoopy now looks like Magic Mountain. Theming? Who needs it!
Great video Dylan. Love camps snoopies
I think the Opening Ceremonies focused only the “SNOOPY'S TENDERPAW TWISTER COASTER “ and the “CAMP SNOOPY'S OFF-ROAD RALLY”
You should go check out the newly updated Kings Island Camp Snoopy. I was just there for the first time in a while and it looked amazing! And it was finished
can we get another magic mountain update?
A soft opening to let guests experience what is ready and a grand opening once everything is complete would have been better.
Come on, they did a great job on the new kiddie coaster's theming and details! The new bathrooms, definitely needed, got done on time. Yes, the undone theater part looks terrible, but let's not only focus on negativity.
Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Bashgarders
i get the feeling knotts was probably behind schedule. they were cutting pretty close with feista and i think they probably fell into the same trap with camp snoopy. either way, it was long overdue.
I want all the names of every Cedar Fair employee that allowed this to happen, that way I know who to sue when I take them to court for false advertising! 😡
How old are you??? You glazing the tip of some UA-cam video when maybe they doing the best they can with what they have. Lol go outside and go touch grass
Didn't you already commented this to adventurewithdavid?
This is the best cedar fair has? 😆 you must be 10 to be okay with mediocrity. They shouldn’t have even bothered when it was better beforw
@Lilhtotheizzo84 Says the 12 year old Redditor using buzzwords.
@DrOz-pe5fh Wow, you also watch other UA-cam channels? You must be special.
Knotts has to keep up with Disney, so they gotta rush things it’s sad but true
Restroom upgrading is seriously needed at 6 flags mm the one by Superman heading to Ninja is so ughhhh
Oh dear… Six Flags may have their hands deeper in the pot than expected.
Not possible at this point. And we have to remember that Cedar Fair will hold the majority stake in the company.
So I’m thinking the merger had something to do with it but specifically about it going through or not. Maybe that’s why projects at certain parks were halted just in case.
Knotts put in picnic tables. Your welcome.
We wish they would’ve done a canoe attraction somewhere. Front of camp snoopy is sad. Imagine if Disney did this.
A canoe attraction would have been cute. I’m holding out in the next few weeks things will finally be finished.
Really disappointing showing by Knotts. What’s crazy is that they removed an attraction and the original stage show for a picnic area that brings no value
I wish they had shorter sinks in the kids areas, I have back issues and have a hard time lifting my kids to wash their hands
Did Six Flags management already take over?
Looks and feels like it huh?
Cedar Fair has controlling interest. So despite the naming, don’t be confused. Cedar Fair runs Six Flags. Not that there is much difference in how they run things these days.
Was it packed today?
Some of those Knott's restrooms are disgusting
Embarrassing day for Knott’s.
Wasn’t a good look. Hopeful though they can pick things back up.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD excellent commentary at the end. Spot on!
🎉🎉#2🎉🎉
Thanks for tuning in!
I think they are sandblasting 50 years and multiple layers of paint.
I can’t understand how Knott’s dropped the ball so bad on getting everything up and running on time. Most of the project area sat with very little activity for months at a time. Just disappointing.
Lmao what is thisssss they should’ve left it alone
Its not fully open
And it should be fully open.
We know. But they had a media day with a half assed opening. Waterfalls and bridge in shambles. 50% of the new rides closed. Just embarrassing.
Is this what happens when you merge with six flags?!
Dylan, I don't know of you have ever heard of CM punk from WWE, but you remind me a lot like him, he plays by his own rules and he's not afraid to speak his mind and he doesn't care what people think about him. That's what I like about you the most Dylan: You don't bend to public opinion. You tell it like it is and I respect that.
WWE? Lmfao what are you 6 years old.
Grow up Peter pan. You are weird af
WOW!...Talk a bout "Half-Ass" job just so they could open on time!.....Knott's should of just been more Transparent and just let everyone know what is going on....And that things are still happening but will be delayed...That weak looking "so-called" picnic area looks way out of place and they "half-assed" that area too!.....
That fake grass will get really really hot
Thank you captain obvious
Guess you should wear shoes then 🙄
@@ryanstrong1167 ok troll
@@Peajay007 I'm a troll because I'm smart enough to wear shoes on hot ground lmfao.
@@Peajay007 OK special ed
@@ryanstrong1167 that hot ground will also project heat onto your legs. It was a statement fyi. Now go away
As an AP holder I am reevaluating if I want to renew. I can't ride any of the new rides. I'm 6'2
I am honestly glad I did not renew. Especially because of their policies that just recently took fact, where they cannot help people with disabilities physically get on the attractions. They can verbally do it. But if an operator has to touch me to help me get on a ride, I would be fine with it as long as they asked for consent.
I'm 6 foot 3 and can ride everything. Why would you want to ride baby rides lmfao are you pedo
I heard they aren’t bringing Whittles out anymore because kids were afraid of him. I swear this generation is too soft.
Idk how much of that I believe. I saw him in the park not too long ago, I guess I’ll keep an eye on it.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD hopefully it’s just a bad rumor. We love Whittles over here.
The problem is trying to appease this generation of spoiled, vlogging, comment complainers will never work. If they received that same energy they would literally break down. These parks are made for KIDS. Maybe if people stop going every other day and could just enjoy the park from a different perspective they could enjoy it
Cedar fair executive is that you? 😆
The parks are made for kids, families and adults. Camp snoopy may be for kids yes but parents have to take them and pay a lot to go. If a good number of camp snoopy rides and attractions are down it’s good for the parents to know this also. Nothing wrong with an honest review of an unfinished product. It’s weird when these companies charge full price for so many closures and issues sometimes. Like Disneyland has 2 of its biggest attractions down mansion and splash/tianas. Imagine going and then rise or Matterhorn goes down too. These closures suck when we pay full price and have different expectations. When half of camp snoopy is/was closed that caused great strain on the other kids rides which meant much longer lines to take our kids on rides. Knots already has terrible lines most of the busy times.
And epic universe will be a great example for what a theme park should be and do upon opening. It will set a new bar for theme parks all over. Just because someone has a season pass and goes often isn’t a bad thing; especially if it’s part of their job with their content creation.
You sound like a paid shill for Cedar Fair! 🤣
Really? You find the astroturf appealing?? 🤔
I don’t think they are spoiled at all. He’s just telling the truth. People should not be OK with lands that are unfinished. Look at Six Flags, half of your attractions down, and people are still paying full price.
I blame the high taxes this state has caused, not Knotts
Ridiculous nonsense. This is just Knott’s not finishing work they could have. Stop trying to make things political which have nothing to do with this. 🙄
I blame cheese
You sound dumb
Knott’s has cut a lot of projects, nothing to do with taxes. Also never brought back entertainment after Covid. Sadly after what’s going on you can definitely feel the Cedar Executives trying to take control of operations more than the Park Operations Manager. Sucks that it’s coming to this. I miss the old Knott’s
