Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

The parade does look copied from Disney. Still good to see Knotts participating in holiday parades.

Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

I saw the parade and just shook my head. I give Knotts credit for even doing a holiday parade, or attempting to do one. It's so difficult not to compare the parade to what Disneyland does, but I couldn't help myself.

I think what made me shake my head the most were the dancers, because they didn't seem to have a lot of experience in that field. It all seemed very Jr. High School style, and the costumes the dancers were wearing all seemed to be hand-made by dear 'ol Mom.

I suppose I was expecting more from this parade, altho I guess I shouldn't have, huh? But like I said, for Knotts to even do something like this is very nice and hopefully it'll get better for future holiday enjoyment. But for me, I'll stick with seeing the Snoopy on Ice Holiday Stage Show...now that's a good show to see! =)

Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

Yeah, we were there last friday and grabbed a bench about 20 minutes prior so we had a good view.

Two minutes after it started, it was over!

Five floats. But the kids liked it, so it's OK in my books!

Enjoy!

Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

The Parade itself is about 14 minutes in length, if you watch it in the same location from start to finish...

The current Disneyland Christmas Parade is just around 17 minutes from start to finish.

At DCA, Block Party Bash and High School Musical stops are about 12 minutes each....

Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

I think its great that Knotts is doing this also. However these parade floats are from one of Cedar Fair's other parks. Not that there is anythign wrong with that. Even Disney transports floats from park to park.

Re: Knotts The Spirit of the Season!

It came from Kings Island, now a Cedar Fair property. They used to do a Holiday event,which is where the floats came from. It can get a might cold in Cinncinatti in December
