The Mighty Axe, an exciting new thrill ride, swings
its way into Knott's Camp Snoopy. It is the park's second major expansion since its
1992 opening and the first ride addition since 1995.
Construction is complete on this ten-story attraction
that literally spins riders head over heels. The 42-passenger platform soars more
than 82 feet in the air and spins in gigantic 360-degree arcs. The Mighty Axe is the
first ride in Knott's Camp Snoopy to take riders upside down. The Snoopy Bounce
moves north next to The Mighty Axe.
"We are excited to be offering such a new and
unique ride to our guests at Knott's Camp Snoopy," said Craig Freeman, General
Manager of Knott's Camp Snoopy. "The Mighty Axe will offer even more fun and
excitement to families visiting the park."
The Might Axe designed and built by Antonio Zamperla
and Company of Venice, Italy, is patterned after the thrill-ride HammerHead at Knott's
Berry Farm in California. Renowned as one of the world's top manufacturers,
Zamperla produces special attractions for theme parks worldwide.
