Cedar Fair has trademarked an interesting name in the past week or so. They have trademarked the name, "Voyage To The Iron Reef". This name is quite interesting, and doesn't appear to be the name for a rollercoaster, because the name is just too long. Could this possibly be the name for the rumored Knott's Berry Farm Dark ride? Or maybe this could just be for a new coaster for 2015? Or maybe something for 2016? Let us know what you think!

Here's a screenshot of the trademark!

There has been a lot of work going on at Knott's Berry Farm where the old attraction called Kingdom of The Dinosaurs once stood. Knott's Berry Farm has kept a tight lip on this and nothing has been revealed on what's going on but there is a lot of work going on there. Maybe that is where Voyage To The Iron Reef might come to life? This could be the rumored dark ride that Cedar Point was talking about. It just wasn't meant for CP but for KBF instead.

What are your thoughts and speculations?

Worst name of any ride ever.

Stupid name. I hope they don't use it like Centurion.

while Knots and and CP might have rumored dark rides, Dorney is seeking township approval for some kind of family attraction...

[TTD03]

I swear to god...
Dorney will go out of business soon if it doesn't get a NEW coaster.
The only thing that is keeping the park alive is the Waterpark.

Dorney needs atleast a new flat ride or something

[TTD03]

^no. coaster lol.

^yup. Dorney is in desperate need of a new coaster. If they got a really good coaster and named it Voyage to the Iron Reef (which is a horrible name) i would be happy

I would die laughing if you guys got an intamin half pipe or something like that

[TTD03]

^ Pls no and ^^ I know, even though it would be a terrible name, as long as it was a good coaster, I'd be happy!

I guess the name could work as a Mack Water coaster.

^I was thinking the same thing. My other thought is we still don't know what might be on the table forr new concepts yet. IAAPA is right around the corner and they may give new clues to what they are planning as well as what might be in store for Dollywood.

A spectacular new interactive 4-D attraction is coming to the Boardwalk at Knott's Berry Farm next year. Surfacing in spring 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef adds high-tech fun for everyone.

Ever since construction crews finished expanding the Boardwalk pier in 2013, guests have happily enjoyed the many new attractions like Coast Rider and Surfside Gliders. But all that activity on the Boardwalk shores has reawakened a mystic lair in the depths below, filled with creatures who have risen up to wreak havoc on the classic So Cal theme park.

The Queen of the Kraken and her aquatic army have surfaced to feed on the steel of any attraction within their grasps. Their unquenchable appetite for coaster metal has turned these creatures into swimming mechanical monsters unlike anything ever before seen on the ocean floor. Only you can save Knott??????s from the mysterious creatures that are emerging from the seas beneath the Boardwalk!

If you have what it takes to become a brave deep sea navigator, climb aboard the four-person submarine and embark on the four-minute gaming adventure into the Iron Reef. Equipped with your interactive freeze ray, aim for ballooning puffer fish, an iron clad octopus and hundreds of other menacing 3-D creatures to save Knott??????s from a watery doom. You will be surrounded at every turn by enchanting underwater forests, disorienting ocean current tunnels, and mysterious mechanical wreckage that will be brought to life through high definition 3-D animation and other special effects.

The attraction reacts to your actions making each interactive voyage a different experience. In addition to battling the Queen of the Kraken and her hundreds-strong aquatic army, compete head-to-head with the other sailors in your submarine to see who can blast the most creatures.

Voyage to the Iron Reef is the centerpiece of an exciting 2015 at Knott??????s Berry Farm.

Official Press Release

KNOTT??????S ANNOUNCES NEW INTERACTIVE 4-D ATTRACTION FOR 2015

Voyage To The Iron Reef Will Submerge Guests Under The Boardwalk In An Interactive Media-Based 4-D Adventure To Save The Theme Park

Buena Park, Calif. (November 13, 2014) ?????? Knott??????s Berry Farm announced plans for a spectacular new interactive 4-D attraction for 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef. Opening spring 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef adds high-tech fun for everyone as guests save Knott??????s from mysterious creatures emerging from the seas beneath the Boardwalk in a cutting edge media-based battle.

Ever since construction crews finished expanding the Boardwalk Pier in 2013, guests have happily enjoyed the many new attractions like Coast Rider and Surfside Gliders. But all that activity on the Boardwalk shores has reawakened a mystic lair in the depths below, filled with creatures who have risen up to wreak havoc on the classic So Cal theme park.

The Queen of the Kraken and her aquatic army have surfaced to feed on the steel of any attraction within their grasps. Their unquenchable appetite for coaster metal has turned these creatures into swimming mechanical monsters unlike anything ever seen on the ocean floor.

Guests who have what it takes to become brave deep sea navigators will climb aboard four-person submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on the four-minute gaming adventure into the Iron Reef. Equipped with an interactive freeze ray, guests will aim for ballooning puffer fish, an iron clad octopus and other exciting 3-D creatures as they attempt to blast the most sea life and save Knott??????s from a watery doom.

Through enchanting underwater forests, disorienting ocean current tunnels, and mysterious mechanical wreckage, high definition 3-D animation will surround guests at every turn. Along the way, the submarines navigate 600 feet of track and 11 scenes featuring hundreds of media-based creatures and live action special effects.

Altogether, it??????s an interactive voyage that features a different experience every time and reacts to the actions and accuracy of the guests onboard. Following the thrilling finale, the number of creatures taken is digitally displayed onboard and in the undock area.

Montreal-based Triotech, the multi-sensory attraction developer that animated the popular Wonder Mountain??????s Guardian at Canada??????s Wonderland, is the creator behind the groundbreaking gaming system and animation for Voyage to the Iron Reef.

??????Triotech is thrilled to cooperate with Knott??????s team and bring our media-based interactive dark ride to Southern California, an area with a rich attraction and entertainment heritage. We feel that guests of all ages will enjoy this unique attraction,?????? said Ernest Yale, Triotech??????s President and CEO.

Knott??????s is well prepared to integrate new technologies into traditional dark ride experiences. Next year will mark the third consecutive year the park has reintroduced spectacular and unique family attractions. Both the Timber Mountain Log Ride and

Calico Mine Ride recently delighted guests after both underwent extensive technological and special effect upgrades, reestablishing Knott??????s as a destination renowned for premier theme park experiences.

The future home of Voyage to the Iron Reef is hallowed ground for Knott??????s enthusiasts. In 1975, the show building was originally the site of the wacky and whimsical Knott??????s Bear-y Tales. Designed by legendary theme park designer Rolly Crump, Knott??????s Bear-y Tales transported guests to a county fair filled with anthropomorphized frogs, owls, and bears. In 1987, dinosaurs once again ruled the earth as Knott??????s Bear-y Tales transformed into Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, capturing the imagination of a new generation of fans.

??????The same commitment to storytelling and dedication to incorporating the most cutting edge ride technologies that made Knott??????s Bear-y Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs so popular is what has driven the Iron Reef creative process,?????? said Raffi Kaprelyan, vice president and general manager of Knott??????s Berry Farm. ??????The technology showcased in Iron Reef will honor the legacy of the attractions that preceded it, and propel the on-ride experience into the 21st century.??????

Voyage to the Iron Reef is the centerpiece of an exciting 2015 at Knott??????s Berry Farm.

This sounds great! Couldn't be happier to see the old KOD being used for a ride experience like this.

Two things
1)Will this count as a coaster like Guardian?
2)Will it have a surprise ending too?

Wonder Mountain's Guardian was amazing! I hope this turns out great.

I really wish seaworld Orlando got this instead of Antarctica

Really excited for this. Wondering if it will be where the Kingdom of the Dinosaur ride was. Glad to see a dark ride is coming back to Knott's. Hopefully there are more interesting rides coming there in the near future too.
