Knott's Bear-y Tales

"Listen, I know this ride is for kids but this is the worst ride at Knotts. The queue was a nightmare. That audio loop was a gift sent from actual hell. It never stopped! The actual ride was not impressive. Very confusing. Please skip this ride."

"If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Me and my friends waited over 2 hours to get on (because there was a malfunction on the ride) and my Boysenberry Blaster stopped working mid-ride. DO NOT go on this, it is a huge waste of time."

"I absolutely love this ride!! Great for the whole family. While you wait in line there are cool effects. The line keeps moving and the journey itself is so fun as you interact with the characters. This is a must for everyone."

"Excellent family interactive dark ride. Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair opened in May 21, 2021 to welcoming crowds. Although the ride reuses the same ride system as the former ride" Voyage to the Iron Reef, Bear-y Tales focuses much more on theming and story telling. In riding both this ride and Toy Story Midway Mania, Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the fair (KBT) is much superior over Toy Story. For starters, KBT blends interactive screens perfectly with physical props and sets. When you hop on the cute bear-y tales trolley ride vehicles for the four min journey, you are immersed in the world of Bear-y Tales. Each of the interactive screens is mixed with physical props and sets which adds to the overall level of immersion. While there are no animontronics, the ride makes up this factor with the physical sets. Adding to the nostagic factor of Bear-y Tales, the ride is perfumed with the famous boysenberry smell throughout most of the ride. Towards the end of the ride, there is a cotton candy smell when approaching the fair scene. The beloved "Welcome One and All" theme song of the original Bear-y Tales is brought back in a modernized form. The ride vehicles play the song throughout the entire journey to the fair. By introducing physical props, the famous boysenberry smell, wind effects and the beloved bear-y tales song, this ride is much better than Toy Story Midway Mania. This is a 4D interactive dark ride where every member of the entire family can enjoy. You can enjoy the ride and shoot at the coyote pups and the famous crafty pie thief, or watch the scenery and take it all in. Great job Knott's in bringing back more of the nostagic feel back to the park with the return of Knott's Beary Tales: Return to the fair."

"I finally got to ride Knott's Bear-y Tales Return to the Fair. And I have to say that I was definitely impressed It's such a beautifully crafted interactive experience. I love how ride blended the screen technology with physical props scattered throughout the ride. It's so much fun blasting those annoying coyote pups for points. Anyone can get into this ride. Even if you never got to experience the original dark ride that inspired the new one we have now you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun."
