Highlights: Great fun at Knott’s Berry Farm

A very cool day. Originally we had Universal Studios on the agenda but I’ll be back to see that in January with Andrew, plus Knott’s had a very good senior discount so my mum was happy to give them a go.

Anyway I saw the following shows:

• Wild West Stunt Show (corny but good)
• Calico Saloon Bar Show (funny at times)
• Mystery Lodge (educational native Indian story, the school kids seemed interested)

However Knott’s is more about the rides, and they have a surprising amount that tests you:

• Big Foot Rapids (we get wet, very fun)
• Ghostrider (a wooden rollercoaster – good but I was very sore after the ride)
• Silver Bullet (you start with a huge speed push)
• Perilous Plunge (crazy scary and good)
• Montozcoma’s Revenge (legendary rollercoaster ride)
• Jaguar (standard rollercoaster)
• Sierra Sidewinder (great fun, rollercoaster in which you seat spins 360 while on the ride)

It was a great day. Knott’s is one of the only theme parks that I believe does cater for all ages.
