Knott's Bear-y Tales

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.

This ride is, well.Awful! The game was very confusing to play all the screens looked alike and moved to quickly to be able to pay attention. Our wrists hurt after the first round of berry/pie/weasel bursting ( I say that because the coyotes actually look like weasels! ??) I was pulling the trigger at everything never knowing what the goal was (the top scorer was guy who got 1 million points! He must have an iron wrist!!). And to top it all off the ride broke two times on the same day and there was a message that came on every 30 seconds alerting us at the ride was temporary down, so annoying! Overall we will stay clear of this ride in the future.

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.
