Knott's Soak City to undergo 'water park refresh' in 2026
Knott’s Soak City will soon undergo a “water park refresh” during the 2026 operating season, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the parent company of Knott’s, announced on Thursday.
“Knott’s Soak City will receive a water park refresh and aesthetic enhancements,” a news release said, but details on what exactly will be updated or changed weren’t released.
The “refresh” is part of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation’s $1 billion investment to enhance the guest experience.
“Our capital investment plans for the next two years reinforce our commitment to providing unmatched thrills, immersive entertainment and lifelong memories to guests of all ages,” Six Flags president & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman said in a statement. “The new Six Flags has a unique opportunity to refresh and renew the guest experience, one so compelling that a visit to one of our parks will be viewed as an indispensable choice in family entertainment.”
The $1 billion investment will be used on “new rides, attractions, themed areas, dining upgrades, and technology enhancements,” according to company officials.
Cedar Fair, the former parent company of Knott’s Berry Farm, and Six Flags merged in an $8 billion deal earlier this year.
Company officials said that more information about the water park refresh will be shared in summer 2025.
