As of Friday, May 15, Knott’s Berry Farm’s guests can embark on a thrilling new journey into the depths of the Boardwalk to fight the Kraken Queen and save the park from a watery doom on Voyage to the Iron Reef™.
The spectacular new interactive 4-D ride features ten interactive scenes filled with menacing sea creatures and many hidden surprises that react to the accuracy of the freeze blasters controlled by the guests on board. Every rider earns a score, which makes every trip to the Iron Reef a competitive, repeatable adventure. The park is also opening a refreshed 8,186 sq. ft. arcade, a new retail shop called Nautilus, and will reopen the updated Laser Tag compound later this Summer.
Also open now and located adjacent to Voyage to the Iron Reef is the all new retail shop, Nautilus (formerly Ride Warriors). Here, guests can wrap their tentacles around ride-inspired apparel, candy, and toys. In the center of the new shop is a beautifully crafted sculpture featuring some of the creatures from the Iron Reef.
Finally making its long-awaited return, the all new Boardwalk Arcade, located directly beneath Voyage to the Iron Reef, recently re-opened with a fresh selection of popular video, redemption, and merchandise games. Knott’s recently introduced a reloadable game card system, replacing cash transactions at almost all of its games and arcades. Kiosks located near most games and arcades make a trip to the new Boardwalk Arcade more convenient than ever. Later this Summmer, the laser tag compound inside Boardwalk Arcade will return with all-new twists, turns and new architectural features inspired by Voyage to the Iron Reef.
The Kraken Queen and her iron clad aquatic army have many adventures in store for guests this summer. A 2015 Knott’s Season Pass is the best way to journey into the Iron Reef again and again, and Passes are available for as low as $86.00 or four payments of just $21.50 (plus applicable taxes and fees) at knotts.com for a limited time.
