Now, the land’s reopening date has been pushed back to June or July.
“Due to construction delays, the official debut of the reimagined Camp Snoopy at Knott’s Berry Farm, originally scheduled for memorial day weekend, has been postponed”, said an official statement from the theme park.
“It is, however, expected to open in early summer, with the launch of new attractions.”
Despite the delay, Knott’s Berry Farm officials said guests will still be able to interact with their favorite Peanuts characters.
“Knott’s Berry Farm remains committed to providing the best experience for its guests and looks forward to welcoming guests of all ages to enjoy summer camping adventures with Snoopy and the Peanuts gang,” the statement added.
The Camp Snoopy update was announced last August and many fans shared on social media that they had a feeling the park wouldn’t be ready in time.
“When they announced that summer the events wouldn’t happen until mid-June, I figured everything else would be postponed until closer to that date,” one person wrote on Facebook.
“I’m looking forward to all the news.”
Another wrote: “It will be so much fun to see when it happens. Camp Snoopy is so cute.”
The land has new experiences such as tours, restaurants and other improvements characteristics.
The last time Camp Snoopy received a major renovation was in 2014, for its 30th anniversary, reported the Orange County Register.
Some of the new attractions include a family roller coaster, an updated off-road rally race attraction and an oversized swing perfect for kids and adults.
Meanwhile, two original attractions at the site, which opened in 1983, will be removed.
The new Camp Snoopy now has a new theater, while the Woodstock Air Mail has now been transformed into Camp Mail.
A new terrace area will also be known as the Barrell Bridge and Waterfall, where guests can earn outdoor merit badges.
Parents can sit back and relax while watching their children explore.
