So almost all parks are open except Disneyland.

I had no idea that Knotts Berry Farm has Peanuts characters...has anyone been there? I hear good things and I'm a huge Peanuts fan.

I'm a little embarrassed that I started "visiting" some of the Disney parks through the street view on Google Maps.

It's very quaint. Most of the Peanuts stuff is in it's own kid area, but the characters and stuff do roam the park. It also has some pretty nifty thrill rides. That said, it suffers from the same issue as Disneyland (but worse) in that it is completely landlocked on all sides by third-party developers, thus preventing any external expansions even for things like additional parking. The park itself is also rather small in size; you could easily cover the entire park in a few hours.

>>118389774
Funny enough, the park area has been open as seating areas for the various food festivals they've been doing for a few months now. Savor various foods or even the famous chicken and whatnot. The only things still closed there are the rides themselves.

Do they have any dark rides? Universal Studios has the same problem. Sometimes they have to tear down some really amazing things to make room since they can't expand. Tip about me: I once spent a year in an apartment that allowed me to see Universal fireworks every night.

A couple. The only ones still running for certain were the Calico Mine Ride (take a train on a slow ride through an excavation site) and the Timber Mountain Log Ride (Splash Mountain-esque log flume ride) which both got major refurbishments a couple years back. There was one other, but it's gone through a couple of theming overhauls over the years. It was in the process of switching to a revamp of its original Knott's Bear-y Tales layout when the COVID shutdown went into effect. Barring those, most of the rides are outdoor attractions, and yeah the new stuff does come at the expense of losing older stuff. Hell, in my life I've seen one area of the park change from a soap-box style roller coaster to a dual-track racing coaster (prone to frequent breakdowns/shutdowns) to its current incarnation as a steel launch coaster.

Of special note: the aforementioned log ride usually undergoes a temp horror retheming for their annual Halloween Haunt event.

I live in Florida but I've never been to Disney. Is it worth it if you're a cynical prick? Pandora and Animal Kingdom look cool. I went to Universal right before the pandemic started and god I fucking love it. I need to get an annual pass to Busch Gardens again next year, I haven't been there in 2 or 3 years, used to go almost every other weekend.

Okay, I didn't know that Pan for Gold got moved back to that area.

Since it’s the season and all that, I have to ask; how does the Peanuts land operate during the Knott’s Scary Farms event? Is it part of the attractions or is it closed down during the events? Because from what I’ve seen of stuff like pic related, it has shit like ripped-off faces plastered to windows, and I can’t imagine parents being okay with that shit.

At night when it's more age-restricted, it becomes another one of the scarezones with it's own maze. During the day when it's more accessible to all ages, the Camp Snoopy area serves up more family friendly and kid oriented halloween stuff like activities and treat zones.

I'm more of a Universal guy myself, so I can tell you that Hollywood Studios does a better job of scratching the itch I get than the other parks do.
Animal Kingdom was also pretty nice. The Expedition Everest coaster was my highlight of that park. Pandora is neat even if you haven't seen the movie like me, but the line for the main attraction in it is attrocious.

A bit of both. They close things off early so they can prep the park for the night hours. I know one of the kiddie rides is used as a maze, so that one is unavailable during the daytime.

Went to Disney World last year Pandora is defiantly worth the wait, the 3D effects and real world effects were great and the line was really fun, so much straight out of Avatar. Kinda wish I'd spent more time in Avatar land because it looked really well put together. I'd recommend Magic Kingdom just because its the classic Disney experience even if the rides are a little lame and so many of the animatronics are showing their age. Epcot is OK, the science part has been really dumbed down since I was a kid but the World Showcase is good just because you can get a beer in every country and leave completely trashed. If theres a park to skip it would be Hollywood studios, Tower of Terror and Aerosmith roller coaster are good but the rest of the park is meh, including Star Wars land.

IIRC he wanted to make his own Peanuts theme park, but quickly realized it would be much easier to just make a Peanuts section at an existing park. Knott's just happened to be at the right place at the right tine.

No, I liked Iron Reef as well. It was also a good fit for that part of the park as well (Beach Boardwalk and everything). I'm glad the Beary Tales are coming back, but they honestly should've put that on the other side near Camp Snoopy.

I remember how annoyed I was last time I went to Knott's when I found out that one was gone, it was basically the one ride I had wanted to go on(I hate most "thrill rides" so there's not a whole lot for me to do at a park like Knott's)

>>118394941
>>118395940
yeah I think it happened partially due to Disneyland's success, thus Knott's wanted some child friendly and well known characters and Schultz wanted his characters to be part of a theme park, hence a match made in heaven
