Is Knott’s Berry Farm Getting a New Ride in 2020?

UPDATE 11/7/2019: Knott’s has announced the return of Knott’s Bear-y Tales in the form of an interactive Dark Ride. So now we know a little more about the ride they’re working on with Triotech!

Back during the Cedar Fair announcements on National Roller Coaster day, Knott’s Berry Farm announced they would celebrating the 100th anniversary of Walter and Cordelia Knott arriving in Buena Park, California. The park said they would present “A Knott’s Family Reunion” with unique food, entertainment, and special surprises. Today we got a hint at a new attraction coming to the park as part of this celebration as well.

A Knott’s Family Reunion was announced for next summer back in August, but details are starting to come out about it. Today we learned about a possible new attraction for the event!

The list of press conferences announced for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo happening in November came out today, and one of those is a joint event between Triotech and Knott’s Berry Farm. The description of it says “Together with Knott’s Berry Farm, Triotech will announce a new attraction celebrating the park’s 100th anniversary.

Triotech and Knott’s Berry Farm worked together on 2015’s Voyage to the Iron Reef. Could the new attraction be a re-theme of the ride?

Triotech, maker of interactive dark rides, worked with Knott’s Berry Farm back in 2015 on “Voyage to the Iron Reef”. My best guess at this point is that this might be a re-theme of Voyage to the Iron Reef. I’m also guessing it will be themed to something Boysenberry related in honor of the Knott family and the birth of the park, but these are just wild speculation at this point. We also don’t know at this point if it would be a permanent new attraction, or a special temporary attraction for the event.

Look for more details to come out during the IAAPA Expo from November 18-21 if not sooner. And also keep your eye out for all of our IAAPA coverage from the Expo next month!
