Here is the Knott's Press Release...
>>BUENA PARK, Calif.--Jan. 5, 2004--Knott's Berry Farm announced the roll back of its regular price of admission for children ages 3-11 to an incredible $12.95. The new low price coincides with the kick off of a promising New Year at America's first theme park that will include the opening of three new rides. Previously $33, the new price of $12.95 is the lowest posted gate price for kids since 1992 and continues to be the lowest children's price at any Southern California theme park.
Plans for 2004 at Knott's Berry Farm include the addition of Lucy's Tugboat attraction in Camp Snoopy this spring. Also, the high-flying RipTide is scheduled to make waves on the Boardwalk in time for Spring Break delighting thrill seekers with "720 degrees of attitude." In addition to these new rides, Knott's biggest plans remain wrapped up in a $16 million Christmas present to thrillseekers everywhere. The Silver Bullet is slated to open Christmas Eve 2004. The inverted steel roller coaster will send riders climbing to a height of 146 feet and soaring back down an initial drop of 109 feet. Riders will spiral, corkscrew, fly into a cobra roll, and experience over-banked curves. Overall, riders will find themselves upside down six times including one vertical loop of 105 feet all while suspended below the coaster track traveling over four of Knott's themed areas.
Adult admission prices remain at $43, but adults can also receive the new low price of $12.95 for a limited time from Jan. 5 through Feb. 1, 2004, when they bring a canned food item to the park to benefit the Orange County Food Bank. Food donations will help meet the hunger needs of Southern California's neediest children and families.
