### 2/5 — What?

*2025-11-23*

Not very great..it’s too much general information that seems to need updating. Show times, events, etc don’t display specifics. It says “wait times will display while you’re in the park”. Well we’re here walking through the park with a blank map showing no wait times and the same message. The best thing to do is filter the list but even then it doesn’t show the actual times.

What is this thing good for? Still waiting to find it useful

### 2/5 — Why

*2025-11-10, version 8.4.20*

Why I keep getting this Failed fetching tickets Error: 76 

Can you fix it

### 3/5 — Básica

*2025-10-28, version 8.4.20*

La app es demasiado básica, sirve para tener los tickets, ver horarios y eventos, y cosas así de básicas pero no se puede hacer nada de cambios en la información de la cuanta, solamente cambiar contraseña.

### 2/5 — Menus would be nice

*2025-07-24, version 8.4.16*

The app should have the restaurants menus!!

### 4/5 — Decent app, needs more features

*2025-07-22*

Using the app definitely improves my experience at Knott's Berry farm (check for wait times, help find the ride on the map) but it still needs some more features for quality of life improvements. Like my fiancée wanted to see a show so I filtered it to shows only, however it generated a long list of shows filled mostly by ones that weren't even happening today. They should add an additional filter so I can just see what shows are happening today without having to scroll through a long list of irrelevant items.

### 3/5 — Needs work.

*2025-07-05, version 8.4.16*

Obviously there is a drastic difference between a Cedar Fair/Six Flags park and a Disney park, but there are some things that CF/SF could pick up on to make this app actually useful. 

1. Wait times when not in the park. 
This is useful AND would help with park crowding. Who wants to pay to park and walk to the front gate if lines are 2+ hours? It also helps with planning out your day before you get into the park. This is a MUST!

2. Better UI.
When opening the “explore” tab you are bombarded with every ride, store, character, everything all at once. Some much that you can’t even see the map. Take a tip from the mouse people and streamline how things are displayed upon starting the app, maybe only rides or WAIT TIMES are shown from the start then each user can search for their specific need. 

3. If you are utilizing GPS to give me wait times, then at least show me where I am in the park when I open the map. I know the old west is the theme of a big chunk of KBF, but let’s not resort to old west map charting skills. I should have to figure out where a non map listed monument is, cross reference with the position of the sun and wager I’m heading in the right direction. Just give me a dot on the map so I know where I am.

Pass integration is good, and the ability to take your picture BEFORE YOU GO TO THE PARK is an incredible time saver. Park cell service is hit and miss, so you might not be able to use the app in some places.

All in all, it’s handy. Could be loads better though.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-06-27, version 8.4.16*

Worst app trying to sign up or log in doesn’t work for me it keeps saying nothing but errors useless app

### 1/5 — No support

*2025-06-11, version 8.4.16*

I am unable to get into the app.  I created an account 7 months ago. I requested a password reset code to my registered email and it didn’t go through. I called support and they said there is no one who could help me get into the app. What!?

### 3/5 — Strangely have no more passes

*2025-06-04, version 8.4.16*

Cedar Fair I don’t believe you that you malfunction the season passes from everyone to do why you may ask because the fun stuff that has a longest single time with 3 to 4 hours of the park and I mean, send this bad to this compilation to knott’s. Also, I went there when am a kid one unfortunately in this app it doesn’t strictly move on the map with NO IDEA what to do and that goes to be shameless.

### 1/5 — Won’t log me in

*2025-06-02, version 8.4.16*

I created an account and it won’t even log me in. So what’s the use?

### 1/5 — The wait times are not accurate

*2025-05-29, version 8.4.16*

I am in line for ghost rider rn and the app says 15 mins BUT I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR 30 MINS AND STILL IN THE LINE

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2025-05-24, version 8.4.16*

This app is absolute garbage and does not serve any functional purpose. Friend had his phone and wallet stolen in broad daylight and security would do nothing ab it.

### 1/5 — Unfortunately terrible

*2025-05-23, version 8.4.16*

It is of great regret that I tell you this app is of supreme disfunction. Apple didn't save a password for me, and knots berry wouldn't allow me to fill my password, then when I try to change it it didn't acknowledge it. After all this struggle, it said I had tried to log in too many times. Unfortunately I am still not logged in, please wish me luck on my knots berry journey.

### 1/5 — uselesss

*2025-05-13, version 8.4.15*

the app is useless does not show wait times.

### 1/5 — I like little girls

*2025-03-07, version 8.4.9*

Knotts berry farm is a fun place to go

### 2/5 — WaitTimes = Not Accurate

*2025-02-17*

Agree with everyone that the wait times are not accurate. Some are displayed, some are not and the times posted are not the same as what the signs say at the rides themselves - it should be regularly updated. Example: La Revolucion in app said 45 minute wait, sign posted said 60 minutes, and we waiting for an hour and a half. 2 stars for the map/walking directions and descriptions of the restaurants. Plus if you have the Dining Plan you can filter which restaurants support it.

### 1/5 — just alright…

*2025-01-19, version 8.4.9*

the old version of the app was better, this new version has so many updates it’s so annoying to keep updating this app almost every other month.

### 3/5 — Wait times not shown

*2025-01-05, version 8.4.9*

If your going to have a amusement park app, you must!!!! have estimated wait times in minutes. I have yet to find that feature.

### 1/5 — Another horrible app

*2025-11-07, version 8.4.20*

Had to create a new account because it didn’t recognize my password. Tried to create a new account and never received code. Then it said “somethings not working”. Really? Went to buy park passes at Disneyland instead. More expensive which I was trying to avoid, but zero problems. Bye Knott’s!

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-10-19, version 8.4.20*

Doesn’t function, headache to create an account and/or use for passes which is only feature app would have been useful for.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2025-09-28*

Hey Knott’s, when are you going to fix your app?  It cannot figure out when you’re in the park. I am literally standing here in line to buy food and it still won’t tell me the wait time on any of the rides. Also, the app won’t save your password when you create an account. So you end up having to re-create and reset your account time after time. Can you guys please update the app to use the latest software? It’s not that much to ask considering how much we pay for tickets here.

### 1/5 — Somehow…it got worse?

*2025-09-28*

I was optimistic that they were just working out some kinks, I hoped for years that improvements were just around the corner, but every year this app gets worse. The map is so confusing, when you zoom out, it condenses multiple points together into a single numbered point and even when you zoom in all the way, it doesn’t separate them into individual points.  They still haven’t fixed the scheduling display for scary farm, if the event goes until 2am, it needs to display all the show times for that event “day”! It still shows midnight from the night before and doesn’t show any of the showtimes after midnight until you search the next day. By far the least legible event app I’ve ever used! Please bring back paper maps/schedules until this app is usable.

### 1/5 — Season Pass not Working

*2025-09-25, version 8.4.18*

Would be good except the season pass look up not working with the code or name and birthday. Serious bummer as the that’s a big reason for the app

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-08-25, version 8.4.18*

I spent almost an hour on this app trying to buy a ticket for my nephew. It would take forever to go to the next step BUT if you select to buy all these add ons and etc that you really don’t want THEN IT WOULD GO TO THE NEXT STEP ASAP. I tested this many times and it was always the same case. So basically they try to force you to buy add ons on purpose in order to get to the next step. Enough said.

### 1/5 — My worst visit

*2025-08-20, version 8.4.18*

Litterilly the employee said I wasn’t tall enough for silver bullet bro I’ve been on it 4 time s I can’t suddenly not be tall enough

### 1/5 — Lame

*2025-08-05, version 8.4.16*

Needs more. No wait times, no menu, no order ahead, but everything is cashless. Not sure what the point of the app is.

### 1/5 — Worthless!!

*2025-07-25, version 8.4.16*

No wait times, just worthless information.

### 1/5 — wait times inaccurate

*2025-06-29, version 8.4.16*

BOOOOOO

### 5/5 — 5 Stars Easy

*2024-02-19*

Great app would app again

### 5/5 — Knotts berry farm

*2022-08-07, version 7.229.0*

Knotts Berry Farm is a very fun place to go to. I love their big rides a lot. My favorite ride is hangtime but it’s sad that they closed xcelorator I never got to get on the ride but I really want to go on it but they closed it. Although it was very fun! I would recommend.

### 5/5 — As season pass holder

*2019-10-28, version 7.13.0*

I love the app, 
Most people downplay the apps map capacity but that is actually one of its best functions! 
I have three little ones one 36 in and two 42 I hate looking around and trying to find the height requirements for each and every ride but with the app I don’t have to show the kids the rides they can’t go on!
Secondly as a meal plan holder
Knowing what food stations accept the dinner plan is a plus but what really makes it worth it is the fact it tells you what meals are included in each location. No more running around trying to figure it out. 
It also stores my pass and add ones so I don’t have to search for my pass every time I need to scan it.

Only improvement is separate the add ons per pass and weight time in rides... but let’s be honest kids don’t care about wait time the know what rides they like

### 5/5 — Worked for me

*2018-10-24, version 7.7.1*

A lot of the reviews said that it sucked and that the wait times were inaccurate. They were on point for me. It told me exactly where I was and showed me the fastest way to get to the rides.
