We are back at Knott’s Berry Farm to see what's new after several days of heavy rain.
First up, we stop in Camp Snoopy where there is no new signs of Peanut's Celebration outside of more progress on the Camp Snoopy Theater stage as they prepare for the new Space Beagle.
Although no new merchandise has shown up yet, the windows at Cordy's have gotten their character windows.
Meanwhile, the stage has its first Peanut's Celebration touches.
While the park hasn't announced any Valentine's Day plans, the merchandise team has found a few spots at the candy stores to give the holiday a nod.
The area of the park we most eagerly watch these days is the new Calico River Rapids spot. While Bigfoot Rapids was a fun ride when we were kids, the combination of getting soaked without much in the way of theming kept us away the last several years. We are very excited to see the new additions from Garner Holt Productions. That said, the attraction is not yet at that stage of work and sits quietly for now.
Stepping outside of the park, work continues on the Emporium. Very curious to see its new look upon its reopening.
We'll close out this update with a quick video on Peanuts Celebration. Give it a watch if you have a couple minutes.
That's it for this stop. Peanuts Celebration is just a week away, so lots more decor coming over the course of this week. We'll share what we can and then share full details of the event when it officially opens on January 26th.

Welcome! This is a brand new addition to the way we cover parks on our routine visits. We don’t plan to do anything different with our social media updates, but we do want to add this spot to include a bit more. In short, there’s only so much we can post on social channels. So, follow along with us there and here!
Our first park update comes Knott’s Berry Farm on a rainy afternoon. Take a look at refurb areas and Knott’s Peanuts Celebration prep. Enjoy!
As you pull into the Marketplace, you’ll notice some fun touches in the windows of Virginia’s:

And over at Peanuts Headquarters:
At the turnstiles, the Peanuts Celebration has its big entry statement up:
Inside the park, it is truly a ghost town on a rainy day like this one:
Although there’s lots of Peanuts merch on display, there’s nothing specific to the event yet. The stage is clear, but not much to see there. Also, nothing at the Grand Sierra yet.
The only visible work for Celebration is over at the Camp Snoopy Theater where the Space Beagle Stage is looking great:
As we leave the park, here’s a couple other items. First, the express bakery is closed for refurb:
And the Emporium is closed for a major refurb:
In closing, here are done Scary Farm pumpkins in the rain, because few things in life are as good as pumpkins in the rain:
