Editorial Review for Knott's Berry Farm – by Ryan Hill
The Appeal
It may be lower in profile than Disneyland with a county-fair ambience, but this theme park is doing its fair share of luring in the masses. At the heart of Knott's Berry Farm is an old-fashioned ghost town, complete with saloon shows and blacksmith demonstrations. For a real treat, don't miss the deliciously twisty funnel cakes and the park's famed jams and jellies, on sale next door at the marketplace.
Facts and Features
Favorite adrenaline-pumping attractions include Ghost Rider, a purposely rickety wooden coaster, and Supreme Scream, a 250-foot-tall free fall. You'll also find old standbys like SoCal's original water rafting ride, Bigfoot Rapids, and the no-frills mainstay Timber Mountain Log Ride. Younger kids will enjoy Camp Snoopy, offering photo ops with Peanuts characters, and Indian Trails, featuring native arts and crafts.

My 12 year old daughter just got back from Knotts yesterday where she attended a birthday party for one of her class mates. The only thing she could talk about were all the strange people that she saw there and how they scarred her.. She said the place was full of "goth" people and kids with excessive amounts of piercings and tattoos, and it made her feel uncomfortable. She was particularly scared of one goth kid who had white contacts in his eyes ...... She also said that the staff wasn't very friendly... She made the comment "It's no Disneyland". As a parent, I don't want my kids put into an environment that makes them feel uncomfortable or presents a bad influence on them. I'm sure we'll never go to Knotts again and I'll recommend to the school districts that they continue to go the Disney for their school outtings....... As it appears that Knotts is looking at Magic Mountain as a business model instead of raising it's standards to that of Disney..
Pros: It's close to those who live in O.C.
Cons: Dirty, unfriendly staff, don't expect Disneyland......
