What's new

Knott's Timberline Twister Replacement

Announcement just came out a 7 am pacific time...and it's a big one.

If the admins want to change this to construction, please do so.

Snoopys Tenderpaw Twister: decently well themed family coaster where tt was. Looks to be the same layout and model as the Daddy Pigs coaster. I would Infer Zamperla. No stats, but one lift and one launch.

Sally's Giant Swing: its a screaming Swing...but 10 feet tall. Looks to be replacing the ferris wheel.

Camp Snoopy Train enhancements

Redo of the main restaurant with a new design and new menu items

Theater renovation. New show, more stroller parking, and new architecture.

New family restroom, and possibly redo of the existing ones.

Camp store refresh

Possible retheme of the truck ride to fit the more adventurous theme. Look like Jeeps in the animation.

Very much like it, plus now we have the holy trinity of Snoopy’s family coasters (Racing Railway, Soap Box Racers, Tenderpaw Twister), all extremely different makes and models.

Hope Knott’s doesn’t enforce a child companion policy for this ride, had to jump through an unreasonable amount of hoops for the CW coaster. Good news however is that this will have an 18-20 passenger train and Timberline Twister didn’t have the policy, so likely not the case.

Shame they're not installing two of the swing rides. It's a fantastic ride model, but there'd really ought to be at least two of them next to each other to absorb the crowds.
 
I just rewatched the animation...I know its just a rendering, but they talked about extending the train. In the animation it runs beside what currently is the Truck ride. The only thing there is Monty. Should we be concerned? Also, Woddstock's airmail relocation to a new sub-land.

Looks like a good overall refresh. I just hope that it isn't as chaotic and intrusive as the Fiesta Village redo. That took way longer than it should have, it really messed up that side of the park for almost a year, and there are still missing elements. This seems like a little too much for current management. You can't close your only kids areas for too long. People wont understand, and they will get pissed. The actual renders look good, I just don't like the new sign. The canoe worked perfectly, and seemed more friendly and inviting to kids. SWSD has one of the swings, and it never gets more than a 10 minute wait. The jeep ride vehicles are much better seeing as the honking trucks are the single most obnoxious noise ever. I am curious as to where airmail is getting relocated. The ferris wheel plot is now the swing it seems, the tt corner is full with the new coaster, maybe where the meet and greet area was? I don't mind a whole refresh, but there are some other priorities before CS in my opinion. Some high capacity and GP pleasing coaster, Monty in some form.

Also I will make this a separate forum, but Coastrider has been down for a while redoing the station, and maybe removing the shin guards.

Daddy Pig coasters are the next big clone

The reopening of the Camp Snoopy area has been postponed until June or early July due to construction delays. The park didn't announce exactly what the delays are, but I don't think it's has anything to do with the new camp store, dining hall, Zamperla Happy Swing, or Off-Road Rally jeep ride.;) Source

I was there and rode it yesterday. There's some cute (and somewhat subtle) animatronic effects on the ride, but efficiency is a disaster. Entrance and exit are on the same side, and the cars are very tiny (preventing sitting together). Many adults were being sent on the walk of shame, and they really weren't much larger than average. These logistics lead to an average of 4 min dispatches (I was timing it) plus 1 more minute for the ride itself. So we ended up waiting over 80 minutes for this, and we started just inside the main queue.

Also, the land is not finished at all. There's still lots of walls up, the swing ride is still behind walls, the Beagle Express train wasn't open, the caves aren't open, the picnic area is pointless and drab, the main entrance sign at the front is still not up, and the promised return of the clock outside the Snoopy store hasn't happened yet either.
 
Not to mention the fact that the line grew longer than that at points with some workers outright telling media members it would be closer to two hours.

I was going to go, but there was some medical stuff in my family, and after watching updates from even the day before I knew it would be an utter ****show .

Knotts also had their media "event" start at 10 when the park opened. That means that an hour later when the large amount of people trying to get on the first train were met with an already filled que. They also somehow couldn't open a kiddie flat ride, an electrified train, a proper new entrance sign, or a new set of restrooms! Piss poor...I'll hold judgement for when I go to Knotts on July 4th for my birthday, but I'm honestly happy I wasn't there yesterday.

I agree with all (Knott's did not mention the land would be delayed by an hour until after the park was already open), but to their small credit, they did get the restrooms open. I've heard multiple sources saying the restrooms weren't open, but I did use them. Maybe they either opened late or closed early? But they were open while I was there.

I probably shouldn't have gone either, but I didn't really have much of a choice... I'm about to head out of town for 3 weeks, and yesterday was the only day I could go. Although on retrospect, I probably should've waited until after the trip. Hindsight is always 20/20
