Hit Knott's Boardwalk This Summer!

Knott's Boardwalk opened last month and I was invited to attend the celebration which was a huge honor for me because I adore my city and have a lifelong love for the park!  I have been so excited about the new Boardwalk and newly renovated Timber Mountain Log Ride!   The bright colors on the Boardwalk Midway immediately caught my attention - the water looked so blue and inviting.  I was ready to jump in!  Live music by Big Fat Steve Band and screams by excited thrill-seekers filled the air.  
I headed to the pier and did one of my favorite things ever - people watched.  What I saw was far from what I expected...  the adoration for Snoopy.  I saw kid after kid run up and hug Snoopy.  The smiles and laughs were contagious!  But nothing in life compares to watching a determined 7 year old boy with cerebral palsy walk up to Snoopy and hug him for the longest time.  It was the most beautiful, inspiring thing I've seen in a very long time.  Keep the kids busy and hit the Knott's Boardwalk this Summer!

In addition to rides for kids and adults - there are tons of live shows and entertainment!  New this Summer - Snoopy Unleashed Ice Show, Boom Town and Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular!

Knott's Boardwalk Opens Memorial Day Weekend

I live in Buena Park so we're always driving by Knott's Berry Farm.  Even after all these years I still get excited to see the Knott's skyline.  Last year I noticed that Perilous Plunge was closed and wondered what would be coming in!  Turns out Knott's was super busy revitalizing the Boardwalk!  The area will further enhance the feeling of strolling down a colorful California Boardwalk fun zone filled with amusement rides, games, and fun food offerings.  Opening on May 25th for Memorial Day weekend are THREE new rides!  The new Coast Rider will have everyone clinging to the handrails as they ascend 52 feet for a harrowing journey down a 1,339 foot track filled with hairpin turns, twists and spins.  The Surfside Gliders let guests take the ride into their own hands as they pilot their two-man aircraft for a bird's eye view of the entire Boardwalk area.  Rounding out the trio of attractions is the Pacific Scrambler where everyone gets caught in the spin.  AND Knott's Boardwalk will be optimized for an exciting nighttime experience!

My family is so excited to visit Knott's Berry Farm this Summer!  
Congratulations Knott's!
