I went to Knott's Berry Farm yesterday and the experience was so-so. We got in line for Ghost rider and they only had a single cart running, which was terrible because of how many people were already in line even at that time in the morning. They then temporarily closed the ride (which is understandable for the safety of passengers, I am also aware that it was closed just a couple weeks prior when I last went). I figured they had only one cart running because maybe they needed to do maintenance on the other one, but I do not know that that was the case. I went to Silver Bullet (and the line was extremely long, it filled up basically their entire zig-zag outline for the line, I've never seen it that long. I know the reason was due to the visiting schools) and waited in line. When I was at the halfway point, I saw about 10-20 highschoolers all go to the base of the stairs and skip the majority of the line. No one said anything. Later, when we were at the base of the stairs, the same thing happened again right behind us, and another 10-20 highschoolers skipped the line. As far as I know, no one did or said anything to those highschoolers visiting from their schools. When I came here just a couple weeks ago with my school, they kicked out a student for cutting the line. The fact that nothing was done about the minimum of 20 highschoolers that were cutting while only one student cut before and they kicked them out? The difference is insane. Also, I noticed that at the top of the stairs where they usually have someone guiding the traffic and telling people where and when to go, no one was there. They were having fast pass users check their own wrist bands and the rest of it was chaos. It was very confusing and it was just a mess. Also, unless I missed something when looking at the fast pass line, it would've likely been very easy for someone to just go in that line and skip the rest of it. Anyways, earlier I had mentioned how Ghost Rider was only running one cart. Well, as the day progressed, I saw that many rides were only running one cart. This made the ride lines much longer and the wait time increased significantly. For example, the line for Xcellerator was probably for two-three hours long and it was maybe halfway full, and Ghost Rider alone was four hours. I understand that maintenance needs to be performed on the carts for safety, but the fact that they did a lot of it on a day when they had MULTIPLE schools visiting, (and this kind of thing would've been planned for awhile), it is very inconsiderate to both the students and the regular people attending the park hoping for a good time. For the people who didn't have a fast pass, they were likely only able to get one three-four rides if that. I was there basically all day and that's all I was able to get on. It's not that I mind waiting, but the students come here for a good time with their friends and when it is this inefficient, it can ruin what was supposed to be a memorable experience for them. The students are only there for x amount of time, and because of the wait times they would've been able to go on two maybe three rides (if that) and still not have the time to eat. I would also like to suggest that when they have schools visit for school trips, it may be better for them to have a max of two or maybe three schools attending on the same day. One middle school can bring 300 students (and that's usually only one grade), and that may not sound too bad but when it's multiple schools like that it adds up. Also, a lot of highschools were visiting yesterday, even a freshman class in highschool is typically a LOT bigger than one grade in middle school (typically they were having only one grade from each school that attended) Either way, the combination of so many students and inefficient running of the park on the same day can be really detrimental to an experience. I have always loved Knott's Berry Farm and I will continue to go there, but I must say I am very disappointed in this experience.
