Knott's Berry Farm

[Freak]

I mean... I wanted to like it. I like that they tried to do something without using an external IP. But... the ride is not good and, as you say, it's an operational nightmare. I don't know how long they feel they need to keep the ride system around to feel like they got their money's worth, but I'd be happy to see this punted out of existence tomorrow.

If Bear-y Tales were just confined to a restaurant and they replaced the current Bear-y Tales ride with a proper KoD 2.0, I would not be mad.

The Resturant is a good idea but as for the ride

Do we like Berry Tales?

The ride is fine but man.....the loading is insanely slow and it breaks down like everytime I go

I grew up with Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, so I never got to experience the original Bear-y Tales ride. From a purely historical point of view, I think it's an important part of Knott's Berry Farm, so I like that in some way the legacy lives on. I think the new attraction misses the mark though. Maybe that can be blamed on Voyage to the Iron Reef, as it was more cost effective to essentially reskin that ride than making an entirely new attraction.

It obviously has some dedicated fans. I think the restaurant idea is fine. I can't remember the last time I've eaten at the Johnny Rockets (or any Johnny Rockets for that matter) and in my opinion the last handful of original restaurants they've built have been pretty decent.

I grew up with the Dino's as well (god...I would kill for that ride to come back)

I think the restaurant is a good idea and the ride it self is fine, like I pointed out just the slow loading and breaking down...which yes, I'd assume its on the fault of the attraction for it as well.

But excited to see the restaurant and its theming

Screamscape was reporting that Montezuma may open in the latter part of this year. I am still baffled by this one. In the time that it has been down, they could have built two or three shuttle coasters from scratch. I understand that the ride has some history but why is this so difficult to get rebuilt and opened?

Pure mismanagement on the part of both Knott's and the vendor originally hired to handle the redo.

Just a reminder: when Montezooma just went under the knife, the F&F coaster at USH was not even a rumor yet! That’s how long it been.

Imagine going back in time to when Monty closed and telling the guy standing behind you that USH will open up a world-class roller coaster by the time Monty opens.

But year having this thing open by the end of the year, even with its history, is ridiculous. I’ll take it over no Monty though.

Is it still the same vendor, or has someone else taken it over? The lack of transparency about this attraction has been so frustrating.

We have a new Bear-y Tales restaurant taking over Johnny Rockets!
Personally, pretty excited about this. I wish they could've redone the exterior a bit more but oh well.

 

[Freak]

The downfall of Johnny Rockets is upon us and I am all here for it. I’m glad to be alive long enough to witness mediocre, overpriced burgers fade or. Any place that charges for fries separate from the burger should be mocked.

But seriously though, this is a welcome change! Glad to see a Bear-y Tales themed restaurant! Surely they’ll also sell pies, right?

 

[Jerroddragon]

Here is hoping the inside is more themed

But yeah...sorry Johnny Rockets your days of charging for a 16 dollar burger with no fries is coming to an end....and im good with it.

 

[Jake S]

Just wait until this place charges $16 for chicken tenders and no fries!

 

[Rideguy70]

But at least it'll be made by an industrious coyote, I support independent vendors

I didn't have strong feelings towards Johnny Rockets one way or another, except I did sort of like their onion rings.

Dinning plan baby......lol

But yeah, hopefully its not the same crap with a different name

Nothing new at the Knott's Boysenberry Festival this year but the Birdcage theater has been going through Renovations. So hoping its able to handle the hotter weather and not stop them from doing shows in the heat

I bought my prestige pass at SFMM. I was thinking about buying the all season food and drink passes, but I’m reading conflicting info on whether or not it would won at Knotts. If I buy the all season dinging pass with SFMM being the “origin park” for my pass, will it only work at SFMM or can I use it for Knotts as well?

Great to know! I see myself using it for Knotts more often than (k)not(t) since the food is way better down there. Thank you! Gonna buy it tonight and test it out tomorrow for my first trip to Knotts in 2026!
