A massive octopus emerges from stormy ocean waves to attack the Voyage to the Iron Reef roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, with the iconic "Knott's" tower in the background—capturing the exhilarating steampunk adventure that awaits thrill-seekers.

Today Knott’s Berry Farm announced a new interactive shooter dark ride coming to the park in 2015 called Voyage to the Iron Reef. It will feature a steampunk flair in an ocean battle against giant sea creatures.

The 4-D ride will arm passengers with laser guns (or “freeze rays”) sending them on an adventure inspired by Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, including “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” As the story goes, mechanized sea creatures have been feasting on steel rides in the park and turned steampunk as a result.

Knott’s Berry Farm erupts into chaos as a massive octopus surges from stormy waters, latching onto the park’s iconic ride while coasters twist above—a real-life scene ripped from the steampunk-inspired thrills of Voyage to the Iron Reef.

The ride will feature six separate scenes via 11 large video screens, 20 to 70 feet wide, displaying 3-D imagery, taking passengers “underneath” Knott’s Berry Farm on a 4-minute “underwater” journey. 4-D elements will include fog, air, heat, and bubbles.

The ride’s footprint will sit atop two former Knott’s attractions, Knott’s Bear-y Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs. And in the end, guests will rack up points by blasting away throughout the experience.

Guests take aim with blasters at a massive mechanical octopus in the immersive, underwater arcade adventure of Knott’s Berry Farm’s steampunk-inspired dark ride, Voyage to the Iron Reef.

Guests on Voyage to the Iron Reef at Knott’s Berry Farm take aim with laser blasters at a menacing robotic octopus, battling through a steampunk underwater world teeming with sea creatures for an exhilarating interactive adventure.
