Knott’s Berry Farm: Ghost Town Alive!

Knotts Berry Farm: Ghost Town Alive!
This past weekend we went to Knott’s Berry Farm for Ghost Town Alive! and had so much fun! This was our first visit where the kids did not want to go on rides but instead wanted to stay in Ghost Town to talk to all of the characters. If you’ve never been, this event is an action-packed experience complete with bandits, cowboys, robberies, judges, a good ol’western hoedown and more. There are two sides to the story and you can join the Mayfield Family, or Sherriff Wheeler to follow along in Ghost Town. We visited the Calico Gazette several times to read the latest edition of the newspaper, then we followed the story. It was Founders Day so there was a big celebration planned but the Mayfields had robbed the Calico Bank and were on the run. We searched around town to see if we could find them and even joined a posse that Sherriff Wheeler put together to help find the bandits. I don’t want to spoil the story, but the day just continued to get more and more interesting!
This summer, the story continues a year after the notorious Mayfield Gang escaped the custody of Sheriff Wheeler. Word around town is the Mayfield’s have been spotted back in Calico and the townsfolk are in need of some help in capturing the bandits and keeping the town safe. Ghost Town Alive! will offer guests a firsthand experience to play an important part in this unfolding story of the wild west, with specific tasks and activities and an essential role as an honorary citizen of Calico. “Ghost Town Alive! has taken Knott’s summer entertainment and the idea of‘ playing in a theme park’ to a whole new level. Guests of all ages will have the opportunity to not just interact with the citizens of Calico, but will have the ability to influence how the story takes shape,” said Jon Storbeck, General Manager of Knott’s Berry Farm.“Our Entertainment team has been working all year in developing new storylines, adding new characters and activities that make up the lively town of Calico”. Along with the return of Ghost Town Alive!

In addition to Ghost Town Alive!, the park has also debuted Snoopy’s Magnificent Magical Revue – a jaw-dropping magic how starring the World’s Most Famous Beagle, Snoopy and showcasing the mystifying and amazing magic of Magician Extraordinaire Greg Wilson! The whole PEANUTS GANG will amaze and confound with their magical exploits and lavish musical production numbers in this family friendly show. The show will be presented in the Charles M. Schulz Theatre on select days now through August 20.
