I drove this train from summer ‘72 to summer ‘76. Great job for a college student, great folks to work for. Back then we gave the entire tour over the loudspeaker which made it fun to get into character and make it special for the riders.

This is the closest anyone can get to riding a forgotten Disney attraction. This ride before the updates was a very near replica of an old Disney attraction called Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland. It eventually was reworked and became what is now Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

THAT was my favorite ride at Disneyland as a kid. But they got rid of it around the same time 'Star Wars' came out. I'm glad Knott's still has theirs.

Wow, I had no idea they gave this ride an updated refresh!! So awesome. I always loved this ride, and for somebody that never was able to ride Disneyland's old Rainbow Caverns Mine Train, it is a treat to experience this. This and the Timber Mtn Log Ride are both classics. Can't wait to ride this.

I like your comment. I loved that 'Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland' ride at Disneyland as a kid. It was my favorite. But the day my family went and it was 'closed', I sadly realized that "nothing at Disneyland is permanent". [:-(] Luckily Knott''s still has THIS ride which is just about as cool in a similar way. Strangely, Disneyland closed their MTTNWL ride the same year the first Star Wars movie came out! Weird considering the 'Galaxy's Edge' is right next to where that ride was.

TheShining Katana Yes WWOHP was very well done, Though most people are more used to it not being there. Unfortunately last time I was on Jurassic Park I was very disappointed, barley any of the animatronics worked, the T-Rex at the end was shut off so It just looked like a bent over statue, and all the spitting dilophosaurs stopped working before our boat got to them.

unlike some people, i think that the updated version of this ride is WAY better than the original version because the original may have been a classic, but the animatronics in the original were extremely dated by today's standards ( especially compared to the animatronics at disney world and universal) and these updated animatronics actually look on par with disney's animatronics. not to mention the animatronics in the original looked really scary.

I just wish that Knotts was more like Disneyland and they kept all of their classic rides (dinosaurs, parachute, soapbox rollercoaster etc.) and still added newer rides around those rides. I like that blend of the old classic rides and new more cutting edge rides. If I won the lottery I would put the classic rides back in.
