Knott’s Berry Farm in California is tightening its policy on queue jumping and asking visitors to tell security about offenders – who may be asked to leave.
The theme park has put up new signs detailing its policy on queue jumping and spot holding, with a phone number for guests to text Knott’s security if they see anyone breaking the rules.

GhostRider trial
According to the Orange County Register, the policy is being trialled on the GhostRider roller coaster following the successful rollout of the text messaging service at other Cedar Fair parks. The outlet also reports that whilst the policy is currently only being promoted at the GhostRider coaster, visitors are using the text messaging service across the site.

The attraction’s code of conduct bans visitors from ‘leaving and re-entering a line for any reason or place holding in line.’
When dealing with queue jumpers and spot holders, Knott’s security officers will make sure the policy is obeyed and inform rule breakers of the park’s code of conduct. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave the attraction.
In other news, a vote is scheduled by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District for a development proposal involving Disney, reports Business Insider. The proposal would authorise development at Walt Disney World costing $17 billion over a ten to twenty year period. This might lead to the development of Disney World’s much-discussed fifth theme park.
Furthermore, Disney has reported increases in revenue and operating income for its theme parks for the second quarter ended 30 March 2024. Disney’s experiences segment, which encompasses its theme parks and cruise line, posted revenue of $8.39 billion in the second quarter. This is an increase of 10% from the same period last year.
