I didn't know they did this! Perfect, my group was split between 10:30 and 12:30. Will make it much easier to plan for when I go.Now that they've dropped the reservation times...
They were nice about it and allowed me to go in without a hassle.
I also did Disney and Knotts pretty much back to back and I agree. Disney was frustrating in places that it really didn't need to be. Especially in terms of Avengers Campus which is nowhere near that great. If I have to virtual queue for Rise for another year or two, with the current 7 and 12 PM system, sure. But for Web Slingers and just to enter a very bland land? Hell no. And forcing mobile orders for food at nearly every restaurant? C'mon. I enjoyed my Disney trip as a whole, but if that was just one of my many AP experiences, I wouldn't have cared, but as a one-time paying customer, and not being able to get Rise VQ at 12 because of arbitrary reasons like not getting my first code scanned in time is ridiculous.I was just at Disney yesterday, and it's such a headache to get there hours early (the park opened at 9 am, but you have to get there 2-3 hours early to avoid lines) and the stresses and randomess of the virtual queues, not to mention frustrations over mobile food ordering, and Knott's is looking more and more like a better and more stress-free experience. Good for them!
As initially discovered by Hagrid Fanboy on the Theme Park Stop Discord; it seems that Knotts back in March, was gathering the materials to install something from B&M.

The thing that makes things interesting, is that if this was for Silver Bullet; wouldn't it be specifically mentioning the replacement of parts? This might be something to look into...

I know there have been rumors a hyper or giga would go
To Knott’s but it seems like a stretch. I’ve Seen some mock ups of the station being next to Ghostrider and the coaster going out and back along the parking lot but that seems really expensive.
If there really is a new B&M coming to Knott’s, this would be the most ideal location. I think a giga would be a stretch but I could see an “almost hyper” or “barely a hyper” going into the park (Basically a 195ft. Or 205ft. Coaster). I know enthusiasts have been wanting an B&M giga for the longest time and we know Knott’s is the only major Cedar Fair Park without a B&M mega coaster. I don’t think we’ll get a giga but I will gladly settle for a hyper. SoCal needs a decent B&M mega coaster.I know there have been rumors a hyper or giga would go

Remember that random tombstone with the train that appeared at the graveyard last fall? Maybe that could’ve been a teaser for the new coaster?
I heard the oppositeAs mentioned in the KSF thread, an unknown source has said that the future of Mystery Lodge is still unknown. It doesn't sound like they're eager to keep it around (Which is a shame).
If they have to get rid of it, I propose they gut they put in a Vekoma madhouse. The building is just the right size where they can put one in there.
That actually sounds good to me! The show would really benefit from a refresh.I heard the opposite
They are eager to keep it around, BUT they want to upgrade the tech and work on some of the theming to make it more cohesive.
It’s an old attraction that they want to refresh for a new generation is how it was put to me, but the funding took a hit last year.
I also think they would actually face some backlash getting rid of it as they consulted with some Native American tribes in the making of it to try to represent traditions/legends. As well, the Native American dancer show, though small, always draws a crowd, so there’s an audience for these types of experience at Knott’s
