Shark Attack : On the Boardwalk
Knott’s Berry Farm is revamping its Roaring ‘20s area into the Boardwalk, a beach-themed array of rides and attractions. Details on the redesigned area:
HammerHead Ride
Description: Two rotating spheres spin riders to a height of 80 feet above an ocean-themed grotto, where they are suspended upside-down and sideways. Computer-controlled fountain jets spray passenger compartments.
Duration: Usually two to three minutes, but the ride is programmable for duration, rotation direction, speed and amount of water (little or no water sprayed on passengers on cooler days).
* Seats: 42
* Height: 82 feet
* Projected opening: Late March
* Price: Included in admission
Other Features
Nu Wave Theater: 3-D images, music, lasers and other theatrical effects. Formerly Cloud Nine Theater.
AirHeadz: Interactive music, food and high-tech game center featuring the KnottHeads, an in-house band. Formerly Captain Kelly’s.
Rides and attractions: Boomerang, Parachute Sky Jump, Sky Tower and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs will be incorporated into the redesigned Boardwalk area.
