Addtn'l Info Posted for Knott's Solace
From replies further down in the thread, it appears that you may be able to buy tickets for the Reception without staying at the Radisson Hotel. I'm trying to confirm this with the park today and will post more if I can find it.
5:00pm-------- Event Registration open at Radisson Resort Knott's Berry Farm.
5:00-5:30pm---Shuttle to Western Gate for entrance to Xcelerator ERT.
5:30-7:15pm-- Xcelerator ERT
7:30-9:30pm--Welcome Reception & Western BBQ at Wilderness Dance Hall with Suprise Guest Speakers
9:00pm--------Raffle
9:20pm ------- Calico Railroad Ride to Reflection Lake for ElectroBlast presentation at 9:35pm
10:00pm-1am-Enjoy Knott's Theme Park and pick up your VIP Thrillseaker card at Guest Imformation Center.
I guess that means the whole park will be open until 1 am for attendees? The park usually closes at 6 on winter Fridays, this seems pretty unusual...but VERY COOL if true.

Edit: Just got off the phone with Crystal about Friday night. In order to attend Friday nights activities you must stay at the Radison hotel. I called because I wasn't arriving until 9pm. Aparently if you are coming after the 5pm check in time, you still need to check into the hotel and they will determine which entrance you are to come in at.

I, too, emailed the park looking for a Friday night schedule and got the same reply, so what Bass posted above *is* true. I am waiting to find out answers to these questions:
1] Will there be Ghostrider ERT on Friday night?
2] Are all rides open from 10pm-1am Friday, or just certain rides.
I will post when I get answers.

1. Yes, the entire park will be open from 10 pm - 1 am Friday night.
2. Yes, it's true that ONLY people who have booked the Radisson's Solace package will be able to attend Friday night's festivities. According to the park:
"We have made provisions for additional guests in the package. The $179 is for two people and any additional people to the room (up to a total of 4 per room) is $50. This includes the Friday evening activities, the two night stay, and Sunday breakfast."
Mkay, guess I'm staying at the Rad. then, LOL!

I'm glad we decided to stay at the Radisson. They are really taking care of us. Anyone have a ballpark number for how many people may actually be there Friday night, or even Saturday? I have never really experienced ERT. The only event I have been too is Coastermania, and that's only Extra Ride Time.

Let's say the park does close at 6. What are the employees going to do from 6-10? I guess it could just be a long break but that would suck.I'm glad we decided to stay at the Radisson.

Shorty: I believe the park is hosting other groups the night of the reception (IE, corporate groups, proms, etc.) so they already have the place staffed. The prom people are usually too busy dancing to ride many coasters!
I anticipate most of the park will be open.
I think attendance was 100-150 last year.

Bass....have a great time with that classic Boomerang ERT....:):):)
Argh: you guys win the Super Bowl, and we can't even make you jealous with our "we're riding in January!" bit! Ima take it out on you at Con this year! ;-)
Seriously, though, I'll be at Saturday AM ERT with my kids, and they just discovered they loved Jaguar on our last visit. We'll be parked there! They also said tonight they were ready to try looping, so it's on to Montezuma at 10 am. Good times.

As for Jaguar, I've stated oftetn how I thought it was not only the best Zierer coaster I've ridden, but an idea that other parks should consider....a themed coaster ride for families that gives a nice overview of the park, interacts with other rides, and has a decent amount of thrills. That is one awesomely cool ride, and believe me I would deck that sucker out for Halloween....NOT for the faint of *heart*...muwahahaha....;)
