Thinking of perhaps where to go on your next vacation, well theme parks more times tan not will provide you with a destination that is quite fun and fulfilling. Many people in southern California choose between Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, however, realistically the decision should be made fairly easy. However, first one must see the meat and bones of the theme park to determine for themselves, but this will be made easy for you wit the presentation of reason of why Disneyland is an all around better park than Knott’s Berry Farm.
Knott’s Berry Farm was first a farm and chicken diner. However, Knott’s did some interesting things prior to their park years like feeding people during the depression and created their own berry, the boysenberry. “All boysenberries in the world can trace their origins back to Knott’s Berry Farm,” describes the company. With all this history Knott’s Berry Farm and a great foundation to become into it’s own element, which now is comprised of six themed areas as well as now a water park next door. These themed areas include: Ghost Town, Indian Trails, Marketplace, Boardwalk, Fiesta Village, and Camp Snoopy. There are nine coasters, eight thrill rides, and 5 shows.
Now with all these attractions one might first think now this is a great park, however, when dealing with the employees and service there are definite problems. When calling to write this, Knott’s refused to give me any statistics on park guests on a quarterly or yearly figure. The so-called “themed areas,” are somewhat lazily done. When considering a theme for a sector of a theme park, a area that has a couple of shops. What Knott’s does have that must be given credit is Camp Snoopy. Charlie Brown is an American Classic and this makes it Knott’s have one of America’s classics.
Knott’s is a definite park of destination but when choosing, Disneyland is the prime destination. Being ranked second on Yahoo’s top ten visited parks with a number of 14,721,000. It contains 8 lands including: Fronteirland, Toon Town, Tomorrow Land, Critter Country, New Orleans Square, Fantasy Land, Main Street USA, Fantasy Land and Aventrueland. Now Disneyland is not one to have only ride themed areas. Main Street USA is similar to Knott’s Marketplace yet it has old vehicles you can ride in, a story featuring Abe Lincoln, all sorts of shops, and some first cartoons featuring non other than Mickey.
Now that Mickey has been addressed a short history of both him and Disneyland should be presented. Mickey was founded in 1928 with the Steam Boat Willie cartoon, which still plays on Main Street; thirty years later Disneyland opened its gates to the world. It now has another park located across the street, California Adventures. And Disneyland itself has 58 rides and attractions. This number is much more grand than Knott’s 22 rides and attractions. Although Disneyland Park price is $76 compared to Knott’s $55 ticket, 26 more rides and attractions is worth the $20 difference. When spending already a large amount for a theme park, one wants to be fulfilled for a full day, and not get bored in a few hours.
Other than having more coasters and attractions, Disneyland has a much more consistent theme through out the entire park, with more specialized workers in each themed land. Besides this, it is Disneyland. Everything that incorporates Disney is present from characters, to shows, to the big smile you get everywhere in the park.
Overall Disneyland Park is a greater experience due to their number of rides, attractions, carryout of themed areas, to the helpfulness of the staff. Although Knott’s is a good park, when deciding between the two, Disneyland is the better decision.
