Buena Park, Calif. – Knott’s Berry Farm has several new additions in store for 2018 including
the debut of the first dive coaster on the West Coast, HangTime, along with the introduction of
the all new Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration, an expanded Knott’s Boysenberry Festival and a
brand new storyline for Ghost Town Alive!. A 2018 season pass offers year-round visits to the
park with no blackout dates and is the best way to experience all of Knott’s Seasons of Fun
throughout the year. Here’s what guests can expect to see at the farm starting next year.
Knott’s Berry Farm will kick off its 2018 Seasons of Fun with the addition of the all-new Knott’s
PEANUTS Celebration, uniquely dedicated to celebrating the beloved PEANUTS characters.
Guests can join Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the PEANUTS Gang as the
park celebrates the world that Charles M. Schulz created. The park will be adorned with
Peanuts inspired décor, new character experiences, comic strip inspired photo opportunities,
deliciously themed-treats and new whimsical shows. The Knott’s PEANUTS Celebration will
take place weekends starting January 27 through February 25, 2018, plus Presidents’ Day.
The yummiest season at the Farm keeps growing each year and in 2018 the Knott’s
Boysenberry Festival is expanding to 24 days dedicated to celebrating the historic little berry
that started it all. The event will offer countless one-of-a-kind boysenberry inspired dishes
created in-house by the Knott’s culinary team. Each year the menu ranges from deliciously
sweet desserts to zesty savory dishes, plus tasty beverages all bursting with scrumptious
boysenberry flavors. The event offers a wonderful tasting experience for everyone to indulge in
and features world-class entertainment, music, activities for the whole family, a wine and local
craft beer tasting garden, and so much more. The Knott’s Boysenberry Festival begins March
16, 2018 through April 8, 2018 and is included with park admission. 
Summertime at Knott’s will invite thrill seekers to climb aboard HangTime, the first dive coaster
on the West Coast. HangTime will send riders up a vertical lift hill into a 15-story 96-degree
drop – the steepest drop in California. The coaster’s train will come to a halt and will leave
riders suspended for several seconds before descending in a beyond-vertical drop, through
2,189 feet of steel track and five gravity-defying inversions. HangTime will be only the second
rollercoaster in the Western Hemisphere to feature a negative-g stall loop, which gives riders
the sensation of floating. HangTime’s ride structure itself will come to life and illuminate the
Boardwalk area with colorful nighttime track chase lighting that will accompany the coaster
train, as it travels across the track. The new dive coaster is set to open at Knott’s in Summer
2018.
The park’s interactive summer story of the Wild West, Ghost Town Alive!, continues with a
brand new storyline that takes a wild turn for the townsfolks of Calico during summer 2018. At
the end of this past summer’s story, the characters of Ghost Town Alive! discovered gold inside
the Calico Mine and next summer’s story explodes as everyone in town is in the middle of a
Gold Rush. Guests are invited to become a part of the action by joining the hunt with the local
cowboys, cowgirls, shopkeepers and the rest of the townsfolk. Ghost Town Alive! will offer new
adventures, roles, characters and entertainment that will delight guests of all ages during the
wildest season at the farm. 
The Seasons of Fun festivities continue through fall and winter for guests and passholders with
the two family celebrations of Knott’s Spooky Farm and Knott’s Merry Farm. Knott’s Spooky
Farm is the daytime family-friendly Halloween celebration which takes place weekends in
October. Knott’s Merry Farm provides the perfect backdrop for your family’s holiday memories
with a park transformation that surrounds you with the glorious sights, sounds and scents of
the holiday season with classic shows, seasonal treats and so much more.
