We're going to Knott's on Thanksgiving. I've been there once before - like 1988? (I was like 9 then).
I've been trying to look up information about Knott's online with not much luck. Hopefully someone can help answer these questions:
Do they have a bag/security check?
Can you bring in outside food? I don't mean like a cooler or anything, but like some snacks and/or water. (Is it like DL where outside food is not "permitted" but CMs don't say anything if you bring it in?)
How far is the parking lot from the entrance? (Like at DL, you take a tram...)
Are you really not allowed to bring backpacks onto the rides? I know that because a lot of the rides are roller coasters (and it'd be difficult/impossible to be secured into the seat with a harness or whatever, while still carrying a bag), but do you really have to put your stuff in a locker or have someone in your party not ride and just watch the bags? (This is what they suggest on KBF's website).
We're going mostly because my parents get in for free (they both work for county social service-type depts) and they get to bring in a guest for free. My parents aren't into roller coasters (on our last trip to DL, they decided not to go on Matterhorn or Big Thunder - which they've gone on previously). I'm not that into roller coasters either, but I figure since admission is free, why not? It'll just be the $10 for parking (and some $ for souvenirs/foods).
Thanks!
