Knott’s Berry Farm is cracking down on line jumping and enlisting the help of fed up riders to report violators to security so the culprits can be dealt with – and removed from the park if necessary.
The Buena Park theme park has posted new signs warning against line jumping and spot holding along with a phone number to text message Knott’s security when visitors spot rule breakers.

The Knott’s line jumping pilot program is being tested on the GhostRider roller coaster after the text messaging system was successfully rolled out at other Cedar Fair parks.
The Knott’s Code of Conduct policy has long prohibited line jumping or “leaving and re-entering a line for any reason or place holding in line.” Parties are required to enter attraction queues together and holding spots for stragglers is prohibited.

Riders are encouraged to get food or use the restroom before getting in line. If they leave the line, riders must inform a Knott’s employee that they plan to rejoin their group.

While the new line jumping and spot holding signs have been posted only in the GhostRider queue, Knott’s visitors have been texting security about line jumping violations parkwide – a practice Knott’s encourages.
Knott’s security officers dispatched to deal with line jumpers and spot holders will ensure the rules are followed and familiarize rule breakers with the park’s code of conduct. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave Knott’s Berry Farm.
Line jumping violations can be reported by texting detailed information to Knott’s Berry Farm Security at (714) 650-8125.
