I was not expecting to have a rough start to Camp Snoopy. They only opened half of the planned attractions & the area where the old meet & greet was is still empty & mostly untouched. Sally's Swing Along & Beagle Express being closed was not what I was expecting. I'm sure later into the summer, the new Camp Snoopy will actually be solid but for now, we need to wait.
Yeah, I'm a bit surprised they opened it when they did. At the same time, I'm sure they wanted to at least get the coaster open for everyone. I think a soft-opening would have been a better idea. And then have a grand opening when everything is done.
That was a surprise to see the coaster open, so when things kind of settle down I think you will be able to ride the other new rides Chris. Also hearing the power washer cleaning Monte', and can't wait until next year to hopefully come down to ride it with you ❤
Me to i agree with you when i went there on the day of the grand opening of camp snoopy the 2 attractions (Rides) where closed i saw on someone else facebook that the beagle express train wasn’t going to be operating i was looking forward to go on the beagle express train and sally swing with still under construction
I wanted to go on the 2 attractions (Rides) hopefully they will be open when i go there again to Knotts Berry farm again
@@AmericasCoasterNetworki agree with you on this i was there’ on the day of the of the grand opening of camp snoopy i only went 2 new rides
That’s one heck of a rough first day lol
That’s pretty awesome now that camp snoopy is majority finished, can’t wait for the montezooma updates til it reopens
I can’t wait for the grand opening of montezooma revenge next year in 2025
That opening was adorable ❤. The Camp Snoopy oath was on point. I'm truly loving camp Snoopy❤❤❤❤
Ooofff, Knotts really fumbled the reopening of Camp Snoopy. The new truck ride looks painfully slow and load/unload time looks just as bad. The new coaster is nice, wonder how long before they decide to do only a single lap. 😅 I'm glad you were invited to the Media event, you've been covering the park for so long, you deserve it!
Yeah, I was surprised the train was closed. They've been testing it for a couple weeks now and it looks ready. The jeeps are painfully slow in all ways. There was a moment I thought it was closed when trying to get footage of the vehicles going by because there was a long stretch of track with no jeeps. I think the coaster will always do two laps. It's short enough and doesn't add that much time to the cycle. I'm glad I was invited too! After being snubbed for a couple years now, it was a surprise to be able to go. Hopefully I'll get invited to more. Makes it a lot easier to cover for these vlogs. Thanks. 😃
I went on the jeep ride (Off road rally) on the day of the grand opening of camp snoopy i was waiting line to go on the jeep ride (off road rally) it began having technical difficulties delay on the first day then the jeep ride (off rally) worked again when i went on the jeep ride (camp rally) for the very first time its very slow i thought it was going to be really fast its like calico mine ride
I saw myself at 13:27😂 I thought it was a cool kiddie coaster!! I waited 1 hour 10 min the que was almost full. There were additional temporary switchbacks they added outside the que area
Oh nice! And that's a long wait. I'm thankful I was amongst the first in line and on the first train.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork great footage of the first public train!
Wow, underwhelming to say the least, no improvements on ride capacity or loading, sad
Everything considered i.e. budget, summer upon us....Knott’s did a great job....Great coverage Chris....great camera work
Thank you! Much appreciated! I still worry about the footage not being "perfect." 😂
The way the sign spins as the train passes by is one of the coolest things I've seen
Right? All the little thematic details for the ride are pretty awesome! But that one is super cool and something I wouldn't expect outside a Disney park.
I was really excited until I heard the "Colonel Bogey March",suddenly remembering the scene in "Bridge Over River Kwai",the marching hungry British POWs in a Japanese Prison Camp.
Dang! Now that's an image!
Thank you for all you Updates!
You bet!
That looks like flop! A couple of Home Depot picnic tables, a few of their sheds and lay out some fake grass weekender type of a job … and charge a couple hundred K per square foot half assed job💨 who dropped the ball and got bamboozled?
Beagle Scout Acres was a last minute thing to fill in the cancelled Camp Snoopy Theater. Our understanding is that the entire Camp Snoopy redo went way over budget. And while this doesn't look great, it's not finished. Also very likely temporary until they have the budget to build the original theater. Fingers crossed.
that's crazy they got a whole summer camp
Yeah! They should put them to work to help finish the place! 😂
You know, after opening the B&M Launched Wing Coaster, I think that Kings Dominion could borrow elements from the new Camp Snoopy at Knott’s to create a whole new version of their Planet Snoopy area.
Hopefully! It's great to see what Kings Island did!
Oh what say lees my 🥵 ex Lucy is all ready nice 👍 and dressed for the show at camp ⛺️ snoopy at KNOTS berry farm 😧👨
Sad that they got ride of the iconic clock above the camp store. Lately knotts has been tearing down iconic things from the park. I still miss the Bigfoot broiler sign and the montezooma s revenge mechanical serpent near the former entrance to monte
The clock on the Camp Store is supposed to come back. I believe it's being refurbished off-site. But who knows when.
Very underwhelming on a hot and very crowded day. Long lines and the staff was not ready for all the people who wanted to enjoy the new areas that were actually open.
When the original kiddie coaster opened, adults could ride it. Not sure if that was only occasionally or always, but I rode it numerous times. I imagine as it aged that became an issue. Only thing I can think of. Good thing I got my fill of it in the 80’s so did not miss it at all. 😎
Really happy to have a ride with SO much more personality. I did not expect anything to be animated!! I don’t think we have seen outdoor animation on a Knott’s attraction since the days of the original Bear-y Tales, followed by the Wacky Soap Box ride. The animation was a pain to keep working in that environment, so I hope Knott’s can keep it running because it is just too cute.
Yeah, that might have been the case with Timberline Twister getting older. And, yeah, Tenderpaw has so much personality. That's a great way to put it! Calico River Rapids also has outdoor animatronic characters. I wonder if Garner Holt did this too.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork 🤦🏻♂️Ah yeah!! I totally forgot about the rapids ride. I’ve only been on it once since they added them. Do you know how well those have held up on that ride?
They ruined Camp Snoopy. May they never remodel Ghost Town!
Thankfully, Ghost Town can't really be touched. But they have done some wonderful repairs over the years. The colored concrete is also an improvement over the old asphalt.
No shade over the tables?…come on it gets really hot there,they need to put umbrellas ☂️
They did shortly after. Also building a stage for entertainment. Check out the newest Knott's vlog. 😃
12:21 - When are they going to open the new Restrooms? I really have to go! 😢
About an hour later they removed the ropes blocking the restrooms. But when I asked an employee coming out of the men's room, he said they are still working in there. However from what I briefly saw when the door opened, it looked pretty finished.
@@TheOwlCreek Now those two sentences are really funny together. 🤣
The clock did not return.
The sign on the stage coach ramp/road did not get installed.
Both will still happen.
I was going to say hi to you, but I didn't because I would have to leave the line for the new coaster. I was definitely somewhere in the line around 16:35 in the video.
I totally understand. If you see me another time and not stuck in line, say hi for sure. What did you think of the ride?
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork It's a little rattley. Not that bad though. It's definitely a front row ride for the pull up into the lifthill. Try it, it's really insane, it's a more intense moment than the pull up on Xcelerator. It has a nice launch, and some really nice effects with the Woodstock and sign spinning and the water splashing the riders. Overall, I rank it better than Santa Monica's West Coaster but a bit lower than Pony Express. Knott's really got the true family coaster they needed.
Nice video. New Camp Snoopy seems like a downgrade -- Beagle Acres is a joke.
Thanks. They upgraded some areas and downgraded others. From my understanding, they went over budget and had to make cuts. But I firmly believe that they'll eventually finish what they had originally planned.
Absolutely Adorable❤❤❤❤
With the tarps covering Montezooma’s I think they might be sandblasting versus power washing. I would explain the covering prevent dust/sand/paint chips from being spread everywhere.
It sounded like water. But I could be wrong.
Knott’s looks more broke down than ever
More of Camp Snoopy was eventually finished.
I'm surprised of all things the marquee wasn't done for today. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the new one-it seems like they reused and bulk ordered the design from King's Island's new area this year. The Snoopy statue without the rope is also an odd choice for the grand opening. The Snoopy canoe at the entrance was iconic for Knott's.
I also noticed the inconsistency in ride signage, as you pointed out. All rides now have these cute "badge" signs, but Beagle Express has a huge marquee right next to a massive boulder with Sierra Sidewinder plastered on it far from it's actual entrance with it's own signage.
There are other small details too. With the large grass lawn open, you can see Snoopy's Camp Store is highly visible from the midway heading toward the entrance, but they didn't clean mass of pine needles off the roof or just sweep cobwebs from light fixtures throughout. The few new lanterns near Snoopy's Tenderpaw Twister don't match the others-they could have reused some from the demolition. The new wood structures are close but don't match the originals. Too many wood building types in clashing color schemes all over when it felt way more cohesive before. I get it's "newly reimagined," but it feels inconsistent, and the effort was there to do it 95% match but just not quite to have that harmony to tie old and new together.
Not to nitpick, but you notice these things waiting 90 minutes for Tenderpaw in direct sun with no shade. As a single rider, after a brief shutdown due to someone getting sick, the woman in front of me for the full 90 minutes was sadly turned away. She asked if her son could ride with me, and I of course said yes despite barely fitting myself. I felt so bad for her, but she was glad her son could ride.
I absolutely love the animated props, though-the fish pond, the spinning directional sign that triggers when you speed past (kind of reminds me of Jurassic Park for some reason), and the swirling Woodstock on top of the building. They could work on the timing of those effects, but I love that they're there!
I think the sun got to you. Lol. I agree on some points regarding little things they didn't do. But I love the new restroom building. Agree about the timing of the effects. They were always different each ride.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork This morning can confirm the sun definitely got to me! Love the new restrooms, I hope they add themed music like the other restroom renos, it was...too quiet in there...
The beginning of May, I went to Knott's, I'm a season pass holder and I talked to a employee at length (who definitely had good knowledge of the Camp Snoopy construction) and the employee said that construction workers had been working 24/7, so it's a miracle, the rest of it got done in the last few days....Hats off to Knott's Management and the construction workers 🎉 and the employee I talked too.
Yeah, Knott's really did the best they could give all the circumstances. But I do wish they waited another week or something.
Where did they get all those kids from hmmm
It was a local troop.
I heard it is hard for some heavier or taller people to get on the ride then they would get kicked off is that true?
It's tight for sure. I'm 6'2 and didn't have any issues. But overheard people who couldn't fit. If I had longer or thicker legs, I might have been too big. The lap bar was at its highest point (there's a red/green indicator where the lab bar meets the car)
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork I'm 5'7 but I got a Beer belly, think I will fit on that? you can be honest, was thinking of going next weekend with my daughter.
What is that noise near Montezooma's Revenge??? 15:21
I believe they are power washing/scrubbing the track down to the metal.
I hope I go to knott’s soon.
What happened to the canoe snoopy that was supposed to go on top of the waterfall area?
Man.. it all looks completely unfinished, they fall way behind schedule and hastily put this together.
Not even sure if it's coming now because they also cancelled the terrace area they were gonna build by the waterfalls. They should have given themselves another week or something to get everything polished up. But I also understand their want to get the coaster open ASAP.
The other day i decided to ride the new Snoopy Tenderpaw Coaster with my 3 year old and the seats are sooo small and uncomfortable, but the ride itself is fun for the little ones my son loved it 😂 i wont be doing that again
I was surprised how narrow the seats are. Especially given how large the cars are on the outside. But I'm 6'2 and fit alright.
The last we went, i saw them testing the new coaster
Looks great
Rough start from what I heard still looks cool any idea when they will get the train and swings going? Great vid
I think the train is close to opening. Might be already for the weekend. The Swing will probably be another week or two. And thanks. 😃
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork thank you and also the campfire sing show I hope is soon too
Grizzly Creek Lodge went down for renovations, reopened as Grizzly Creek Lodge to be renamed later, and that also wasn't today...
Yeah, that should have been a warning that things weren't going well regarding the budget. I hope the park eventually gets to do all the things planned for Camp Snoopy.
New outfits my buddy
New train my buddy
New patch my buddy
Wow, picnic tables! What’s next, porta potties? I’m sorry, but Knott’s Berry farm is ghetto.
Much better than Disney these days so bite me.
I wouldn't say that's ghetto. It still isn't finished. And I believe is just a temporary measure until they have the budget for the planned theater.
@@AmericasCoasterNetwork yeah I understand what you’re saying, but you have to admit everything they do is slow and Mickey Mouse so to speak from Montezuma to accelerator to the way they drag their feet on everything they have plenty of money, but their budgets are way too tight…
