The staffing shortage is everywhere, and it's very apparent at Knott's. There isn't enough staff to keep the lines moving so it's at least a 45 minute wait anywhere you go. Even to just purchase water!! Knott's requires you to make reservations before you can visit so they know how many people will be entering the park yet they don't cap the amount of people visiting. They pack the park to the capacity allowed! Greedy!! User's recommendation: Spend your money at Disney. It's a better visitor experience.
