Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress Officially Launches at Knott's Berry Farm
And can we say FINALLY!
Montezooma is back at Knott’s Berry Farm, as Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress officially opened today!
What’s Happening:
- Three and a half years ago, the class Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coaster Montezooma’s Revenge closed down for an announced reimagining into Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress.
- The Knott’s Berry Farm coaster originally opened back in 1978, becoming a classic thrill ride at the park.
- What was supposed to be an off-season conversion, updating the launch system, replacing the trains, and refurbishing track, turned into years of speculation about whether the coaster would ever reopen.
- This summer marked a massive step forward for the attraction as testing began.
- After several reported media days and opening days, The Orange County Register is reporting that Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress officially opened today, August 6th, at 12PM.
- The attraction, in addition to its technical upgrades, got massive theming additions as well.
- It’s great to see one of Knott’s most iconic attractions finally make its grand return to the park.
- For those looking to head to Knott’s Berry Farm, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel.
