Knott's Berry Farm Hack 7.236.1 + Redeem Codes

Yesterday we waited in line for Hang Time and it said it was 30 minute wait but it was a 2 hour wait. None of the lines for any of the rides were updated accurately. Also, it would be helpful if the map just showed the names of everything instead of needing to switch to a tab in order to view.

The other issue, is when you see the rides, it’s a very TINY picture and you don’t have the option to zoom in to see what the ride actually is. Also if you are just 2 people, I don’t recommend buying the all day dining pass regular or premium The food is limited to just chicken, burgers, and fries. If you want to eat something that sounds appetizing for an adult, just get that Bosenberry Tasting thing instead. I would rather have spent the $50 to try all of those interesting foods.

If you are season pass holders, this app is designed for you. It holds all your information including your add ons right in one section so that you just click on the pass holders name and scan your phone to get in. Also, it holds all of the passes for your whole family, you just click on their name and they scan it (excellent way to organize if you have small children). All of the passes and info are under one account, so just have everyone else sign into that account and everything will be there. Also, all add-ons and parking get scanned under the one pass. I HIGHLY recommend a parking pass and meal plans for season passes— they pay for themselves after a few visits (you’ll regret it if you don’t). Also, for one family with small children, you only need one parking pass and a couple of meal tickets (if you have little ones because they can share a meal since you get a lot of food and we end up trying to finish all of the fries anyway). The map is very useful and gives you walking directions to each attraction. The only issue is the updated wait times, but we are all in charge of updating this, so people need to stop complaining and update it themselves so that it helps others. I also wish they had a separate app for Soak City.

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel like this one deserves a review. I went to Knotts for the first time during Knotts scary farm and I was completely lost as you can imagine a first-timer would be. AND Knotts stopped handing out maps (covid maybe? If so i understand) so they suggested I download the app and use the map there. Everything else about the app was fine except for the map. I’m only giving 3 stars because the map was absolutely terrible. While I do appreciate the walking directions to different things, the map itself is BEYOND confusing to navigate. NOTHING IS LABELLED on the map: no buildings, or even the main entrance. I was even more confused than I should’ve been, which resulted in me and my friend to walk in circles and completely miss half of the park. Y’all need to fix the map and at least have stuff labeled so when newcomers like me take a look at the app map because you stopped giving out paper ones, we don’t get lost and miss out on exploring half of the park. I’m really disappointed about that because staff members really spoke about using the app map, but when it is barely anything it’s hard to give this app 5 stars.

The app is absolutely garbage, so garbage it’s useless. At first I couldn’t add parking tickets for some weird reason, I guess because they’re really vouchers and not tickets. When my ticket finally did appear, it was a week after I’d gone. I purchased entrance tickets this Friday the 12th, for general admission for Sunday (yesterday). The app would NOT let me add my tickets at all. I had to add them to my Apple wallet. The funnier thing is I was able to immediately add my parking ticket on Friday and yesterday when I take the barcode in for parking, the scanner won’t scan that type of barcode and your employees have to enter it manually. That. Is. So. Dumb.

Another thing. Your map is USELESS when it comes to wait times. Although yesterday it was ok for the most part, when I went on the 5th of this month, the estimated times were beyond horrible. For those complaining the map doesn’t tell you how to get to X place. Uhhh what? It literally tells you what path to follow once you click on the walking dummy. It’s literally like your map where the blue dot shows you which way you’re walking. Some of you guys complaining about that though...🤦🏻‍♀️

Wait times are not accurate. Whatever system they use to calculate times does not work. Sometimes wait time was 3x longer, even though it kept “updating” the wait times while we were in line. One ride said there was a 50 min wait, but ended up being 2.5 hours (and no, the ride did not break down; it just took that long). This app ended up costing us about 3-4 hours in the park, extra time we wasted waiting in lines because we blindly relied on the “continuously updating” times in the app. Yes, it’s is a free app, but don’t bother. You will not save time. A little extra effort to make sure the app actually works is all that is needed. It’s little things like this that exemplify the first-class polish of Disney when compared to the second-rate “whatever” attitude of Knott’s. In retrospect, this app is a good symbol of why we visit Disney at least once or twice a year but only visit Knott’s maybe once every 5 years. Safe to say, because of this app, we won’t be back to Knott’s anytime soon.

The app worked fine for the map, but the wait times were completely in accurate. Went on Jaguar with the app saying it was a 20-minute long line. There was some garbled announcement (work on your P.A. systems on these rides!) that said something about the wait being 90 minutes. Turned out the wait WAS about 90 minutes. Yet, for those 90 minutes, the app continued to say the wait was 20 minutes. Experienced other wait time discrepancies for other rides as well.

Also didn’t like that I couldn’t find attractions like the gold panning using the app (or, if it is there, finding it is not intuitive). I could search for it, get a result showing where something was, but was unable to click on the result and have it show on the map.

The map is not all that useful because they make the icons for the rides so large that it takes forever to actually hit the right one. But the worst part is the fallacy of the wait times. This seems like fraud. We has a line that said 15 minutes and it took 1 hour and 50 minutes. Another ride said 25 minutes, but actual time was 75 minutes. Another ride said 40, real time was 2+ hours. Another problem is that the stupid app kept saying “wait times only show while in the park” while we were in the center of the park many times. This is truly a horrible useless app that deserves negative stars. You need to try a lot better than that, but you kind of expect a second-rate experience at Knott’s compared to Disneyland or Six Flags anyways, so its par for the course. Don’t expect the app to work at all, just guess wait times with your eyes, it will be far more accurate than their deceiving wait times.

This could be a great app, it really could. It does some stuff really well, which is why I give it a two and not a one. I would instantly bump it to at least a 4 if something would be done about the completely false wait times. How can Disney have hyper accurate wait times on their app, and outside every ride queue as well, and this just fall so incredibly short.

The app said Jaguar was a 3 hour wait. JAGUAR. I said I gotta see what a 3 hour wait for Jaguar looks like, we went, there was no wait at all, literally, we walked right on the ride. It said GhostRider was 5 minutes, that turned out to be 45. Seriously, I’d rather have no app then work with such incredibly inaccurate information. Cedar Fair, please fix this now.

Why is the park map so minimal? You can only see one category of locations at a time, so it’s impossible to plan to do several things within an area. There’s no landmarks or “land” names. They literally could have just uploaded the standard map in PDF and it would be way more helpful. Also, the event listings take forever to load. Other information in just plain inaccurate. Also, the pass and reservation system feels as disjointed as needing to print everything out on paper. You literally have to flip through little icons to see which reservations and tickets you have for your party, and there’s no way to see quickly which reservations are tied to which pass. You have to open them all up!

We got passes for today and with no fast pass we assumed it would be pretty bad but we had to wait 3 hours for what they said was a 90 minutes wait. They alternated between fast pass and regular pass people and we waited so long we calculated that 1,050 people went before us and the fast pass line never ended. The wait times are consistent in the way that they’re always wrong. 2-3x longer than the listed wait time. We went on four rides over the course of 10 hours. That’s actually ridiculous because why would you confidently put a time in front if they aren’t being change or accurate at all, at least update your times on waiting.
