After lots of Teasing, Carowinds finally announced their addition for 2011: Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular. Featuring more than half a million LED lights, this new nighttime festival will extend from Country Fair to Planet Snoopy. The latest technology will be soon brought into the park for this sensory spectacular. To allow as many people as possible to enjoy Snoopy’ Starlight Spectacular, the park plan’s on expanding hours to 10 pm from June 27th, to August 7th 2011. Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular will illuminate on these nights. The addition is reminiscient of what has been added the past two years at several Cedar Fair parks such as Cedar Point, Worlds of Fun, and Knott’s Berry Farm. In fact, this particular Carowinds version will share the exact same name as Knott’s recently added version. I got a chance to experience the show at Knott’s and the overall area was just plain fun. The music was retro but with some funk, and the lighting was most certainly impressive with all sorts of lights, 3D objects, and characters that made it a real treat for guests of all ages. You can check out a full review of Knott’s Berry Farm’s version of Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular here. Expect this to be a popular addition to Carowinds for the 2011 season.
Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular at Knott's Berry Farm
Introduced this past summer, Knott’s illuminates Camp Snoopy at night with Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular. A sight and sound extravaganza. Lights drape from the trees and other objects in the area with 4 distinct areas. The neatest aspect of the entire experience was the glasses that were sold to ‘enhance’ the experience. When you put these on, all the individual LED’s showed up as either a star, snowflake, or heart. Definitely worth the dollar I paid for them. Here is a tour of the electric event.
In Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular, the end closest to the Mexican section of the park is dedicated to Sally and her 60′s Flower Power style!
Ring Ring Ring! Sally, it’s your big brother Charlie Brown.
Following the Sally Flower Power section is an area featuring Linus and Woodstock as astronauts in space. The area even comes complete with two green aliens and an LED animatronic space ship!
Schroeder with his famous piano playing skills plays away in his very own section of Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular. His area is located closest to Sierra Sidewinder and features various musical notes. While I feel the lighting is the least impressive in this section, I do find the main figurine of Schroeder with the rainbow of LED musical notes to be one of the most impressive parts of the entire experience.
The section of Camp Snoopy closest to the entrance is centered around Lucy. Its Lucywood, where Lucy Van Pelt is the star in the center of the universe. This area features cameras with dramatic flashing effects, and the entire Peanuts gang dressed up or a red carpet premiere.

And now here is a grand tour of Snoopy’s Starlight Spectacular by video!
On my visit to Knott’s Berry Farm about two weeks ago, I noticed that the supports were in the middle of being repainted. It was early, but the bottoms of the supports had received a new coat of the same light blue/turquoise color. I did not notice the track being repainted however. Here are some pictures:
All I can say is that about time. Earlier that morning, the sky was covered in clouds and very gray. Unfortuantely, the track is so faded that it blended right in with the cloudy sky.
