I like that.

Gonna be there on Saturday June 29th. Everything looks like it's coming together. Awesome. Can't wait.

This looks amazing. I am very sad that I'm missing out on Camp Snoopy because I have a field trip on the same day as the opening of Camp Snoopy.

Don't worry. They will still be finishing up other areas throughout the summer. It won't be 100% done for a bit.

So freaking excited to ride the new Montezooma’s Revenge!!!!!!!!

I didn't realize Sally's swing along was going to be that tall. When you peeled in to have a look at the new off road rally cars I didn't see any horns so it looks like the days of hearing those little trucks horns honking loudly through the day are over.

Was waiting for Chris to say something about the “annoying little horns” on the new trucks for off ride rally 😔😭

I don't see any horns on the new vehicles. But I've mentioned it a few times before in other vlogs about how much I hate them. I guess we'll know for sure in a few days. Maybe I should bring my own! 🤣

​@@AmericasCoasterNetwork- I used ro be a Annual Passholder at Knott's for 10 years, until I moved to Arizona in 1997. I knew most of Knott's cast members at the time, & funny enough they loving called The Rocky Mountain Trucking Company "The Honking Hell". Hello From Phoenix Arizona 🌡 🔥

Pretty disappointed we're not getting everything. The stage seemed like one of the best additions to the area, and not having it is a huge loss. If they can't get that bridge area open in the next three days, that will be even more disappointing. And frankly, unless there was some kind of major construction issue with these additions there's not really a good reason we shouldn't be getting everything. For a park that gets as much attendance and makes as much money as Knott's, they should be able to follow through on an ENTIRE kids area revamp.

I think they are having money issues. Maybe related to the pending merger? They have cut entertainment, cut food portions, cut camp snoopy plans, and Magic Mountain followed suit with freezing work on the demolition of their own theater. Just sitting there half undone with a wall around it like Camp Snoopy’s. Too coincidental.

I'm thinking they went way over budget with the coaster and other things. And that the stage will eventually happen. Perhaps next year. Hopefully it its full form we saw in the concept art. Same with the covered bridge.

Is montezooma gonna be enclosed ???

I don't believe so. Other than perhaps the station. I think this is just for work to be done.

Great update Chris. It's better to make the new rides look good and delay some of them rather than have all of them debut with a lack in quality.

Thanks! Agreed!

Montezuma cover looks like abatement. Maybe for lead paint? Lead paint was outlawed in the USA in 1978, the year Monty opened. So if he was painted the year before lead paint would be used. Bing a Schwarzkopf it may have been made and painted in Germany, who’s lead paint regulations I can’t find a source for at this time. The big piece of equipment looks like some sort of air scrubber. That type of containment could also be for asbestos, chemical stripping agents, lead paint, among others.

This! I was thinking about it when editing the video. Sometimes in the moment I don't think or say the things that are a clearly obvious to me later. Now, they pressure washed and repainted the coaster a couple times before. But they're probably stripping it down more this time. I just don't understand why they didn't remove the track completely and have it refurbished somewhere else.

@rollercoastersrule

Ай бұрын

@@AmericasCoasterNetwork I’d bet the previous company found the lead paint and didn’t have the proper credentials to do abatement. Or Knotts paused the remodel because the cost of an abatement of that size and scale would be very high to say the least. The budget probably didn’t allow for that kind of overrun so it was held off till the budget was available.

Not much happening for The MonteZOOMa Station but the good news is THERE ARE COVERING IN TARP I Can't Wait To Get Back In Action I Hope They Do The MonteZOOMa Station Painted BLACK IT’S GONNA BE PERFECT IN 2025!

Great video!🎉I wonder where they’re going to put the up dog?

I miss camp snoopy theater too it's so sad

I wonder what they'll cut from the Montezuma project - maybe it'll only have one spike, could be you'll have to push-start it for it to get going, perhaps you just climb up a spike and shimmy down.

The launch will be Flintstones' style to save money on the power bill, so the trains will be floorless.

They giving montezooma a aztec look instead of just carnival race car look. I miss that look .

The Tender Paw coaster has been testing for a little while now. So they have tested it already. Probably some more testing and training to do though. I cannot wait until the work walls come down so we can see it better. I am also curious what it will look like at night.

Ah, yes. I've seen video of it testing. I meant to say "testing today." And, yeah, in the vlog you can see employees walking through the queue. So I'm sure they were cycling it today. I just didn't have time to wait.

I wonder with the canceled theater if later on they’re going expand the maze that’s there

@AmericasCoasterNetwork

Ай бұрын

My guess the theater was cancelled because the coaster and other things went over budget.

The pontoon bridge with the waterfall should have been an easy fix just to refurbish it without the concept art. So obviously they're really hurting for money if they can't do that...and remember, they spent a lot of money too on the electric train for Camp Snoopy, I'm sure.

@AmericasCoasterNetwork

You are being too kind on your assessment of Camp Snoopy and I understand that..... it looks like it's a huge money situation and they don't want to lose any more money, so they're advertising it's going to open, but we'll see how long it takes when it finally all comes together....tough economy....you have honest analysis compared to others thx
