I'd take a guess that it was coaster rider as it opened in 2013 and they stated this all started in 2011.Also very interesting to hear that they had footers poured for a new coaster. I wonder what it was going to be?

No, it says in that quote that it was a high thrill ride and that it was canceled. Probably the hyper that survey flags were placed around the park for at around the same time.I'd take a guess that it was coaster rider as it opened in 2013 and they stated this all started in 2011.
Honestly, the park doesn't need it. They need more rides, but not that.
Of course what's interesting & dumb, is that Camp Snoopy lost 4 rides (Timberline Twister, Camp Bus, Ferris Wheel & Huff n Puff) during the current renovation. Coaster for a coaster, flat ride for a flat ride. But still two less rides.
The mic is open & waitingDon't ask me any other questions about what I think about living in this timeline.
The renovated store in Camp Snoopy is really nice! A big improvement over what it was.I was at the park for half a day yesterday. It was quite crowded (as expected) and (unfortunately) Timber Mountain Log Ride is still quite closed for its seasonal refurbishment. Xcelerator is still running just one train with the other fully disassembled in the maintenance area.
Construction is moving along nicely in Camp Snoopy. The renovated gift shop looks quite nice and you can tell that, throughout the park, little maintenance projects have been completed. The fountain near Beary Tales was running as well as I've ever seen it and if you pay attention, you'll notice plenty of fresh paint around the park.

Montezooma's Revenge appears to be fully disassembled outside the station. There was no work actively happening, but I wouldn't think there's much of a rush at this point.
We really enjoy going for Boysenberry Festival but it's a bit of a bummer that so many food and drink stands don't open until after noon, especially on a crowded Sunday. I have a few theories on why they stagger the opening of their food stands, but it's kind of a shame that the park isn't fully open until a couple hours after the rope drops.
Anyway! Glad spring break is finally over so the opportunity for less crowded visits will return for a couple months.
This is a bummer to hear. My wife and I also have Season Passes, and we *try* to visit at least once to each seasonal event outside of Scary Farm. The park has made really great strides recently and it is a shame that poor operations can sometimes overshadow those accomplishments. I really hope they can find a way to improve on them.We were at the park yesterday largely because we had 1230 reservations at Mrs. Knott's (my wife has never been). We were able to get on Xcelerator, Silver Bullet and the Calico Mine Ride without much waiting.
We're still looking at single-train operation for just about every coaster in the park, save Silver Bullet. I couldn't tell if Ghostrider was running two trains, but the operations are so painfully slow that it's hard to tell the difference without being inside the station. The park, unsurprisingly given the wonderful weather and it being a weekend, was packed.
Camp Snoopy construction is progressing nicely but didn't notice any work at Montezooma. Of course, now that they have until next May to get it done, that shouldn't be much of a surprise. Timber Mountain Log Ride remains closed — it's been nearly four months — and I haven't been able to get an answer on its status. The logs remain strewn across the grass by the Xcelerator queue.
To top it all off, I received a call at 1100 that our reservation had been canceled because they were exclusively seating for the Boysenberry Brunch. I asked the employee on the phone: 1) Then why did your website allow me to make the reservation? 2) Why did you wait until the day of the reservation to call me? 3) Can I change my reservation for the brunch?
The answers were: I don't know. We don't look farther in advance than one day. No.
I politely expressed my frustration and that was the end of it. I'm a broken record on this, but the operations at this park stink out loud and really undercut the good work done by other departments. We've got season passes with free parking — which rules, because we can go casually like we used to do at Disneyland many, many years ago. But at this point, despite the great price, we're unlikely to renew. I'm glad we gave it a go, but Knott's is going to go back to a park I do once a year during Scary Farm for the time being.
Yeah, there’s a lot of good regarding how the park looks and creativity around their various festivals. But they need a root and branch overhaul when it comes to their operations, whether that’s in food service or ride operations.This is a bummer to hear.

I have noticed ops grow considerably worse since the park reopened post-pandemic. It’s pretty bad now.This is a great piece that sums up why we aren’t renewing our Knott’s Berry Farm season passes.
I (very) briefly worked at Knott’s when the park re-opened and I was in between jobs. I remember going to the Target in Buena Park after work one day and seeing them advertising hourly rates $3 higher than Knott’s.I have noticed ops grow considerably worse since the park reopened post-pandemic.
