I would like to see you do a video on the original Knott’s Beary Tales dark ride. The new version of Beary Tales is debuting to the public this May when Knott’s reopens, so it would be interesting to see how the original 1975 Beary Tales developed and then why it got got replaced by Kingdom of the Dinosaurs despite its popularity.

So many great memories growing up in the 60s and 70s in the LA area. Cedar Fair ruined Knott's. They took out everything the least bit historical and unique, and replaced everything with thrill rides. So Cal already had a thrill ride park, Magic Mountain.

I worked the haunted shack. My first attraction at knotts in nov of 1988. It was definitely falling apart at the end of its life. There were thick aircraft cables that helped keep the shack up and when they removed them, the shack collapsed on itself immediately. jack falfas was right too. Not many people went inside it towards the end. It seems to always be this way when certain rides or attractions get old and people stop going, once you take it away all of a sudden people want it back to go on again

I have so many memories here! Loved the Haunted Shack, and it sort of became the Knott's equivalent to the Jungle Cruise as a place for bad jokes and puns from the host. I've personally thought a worthy replacement would be a Vekoma MadHouse, which are actually quite rare in the USA, with only two on the east coast, and none on the west coast at all.

Great job as always. Keep up the great work on recognizing the innovative history of Knott’s! I worked at Knott’s in the early nineties in a leadership role when the Knott Family still was in charge. It was one of most well managed places I have ever worked at. The Haunted Shack was very well loved as a piece of Knott’s history. I would suggest more videos on such Knott’s attractions as Motts Miniatures, The Transfiguration, The Old Trails Hotel, Jungle Island, and Mystery Lodge/Indian Trails. The shows at Knott’s too would be great fun too- Knott’s Ice Spectacular, the Birdcage Theatre, The CloudNine ballroom and Studio K. There is so much!!!

I think it'd be interesting to merge the haunted shack concept into a walkthrough/roller coaster experience. Have the queue area be it's own experience, taking you through the legend of the original house and feature much of the same tricks, and then at the end divert to a coaster that diverted in it's second half to a twisted version of the first half.

@@hotaru8309 Ya wooden would be the best option for sure.

A mystery themed roadside attraction in OR? Boy the Gravity Falls jokes write themselves. The Haunted Shack like the Enchanted Tiki Room are needed attractions. A place to decompress from all the overstimulation. Its funny. Its cool learning the history of the Shack. I think the creators would beam with pride knowing this, the Birdcage and even the Jungle Cruise became the practice grounds of countless entertainers from Steve Martin and Robin Williams to radio DJs and MCs.

Cedar Fair has pretty much sucked the fun out the park, replacing all charm with as much steel girders as possible. It's as if they have a contract with certain coaster makers to buy "x" amount of coasters each year. The Haunted Shack was awesome, it was a rip off of The Mystery Spot ( and we all knew it ) but it was Knott's version of the Haunted Mansion. It was something unique to that theme park ( stolen idea from Mystery Spot not withstanding. ) I really enjoyed that attraction and regarded it as something I had to see EVERY time I was there. It was a bit like the Jungle Cruise in that you needed a great host to overcome the otherwise easy to figure out gags.

So once inside, I found it kinda boring, although everyone else seemed to become so nauseated. The only thing i remember from that trip was that experience because of the freakout and complaining that the adults had over that whole experience. When I went again as a teenager it actually was closed.

In the very early 80s I went to Knotts as a child (around 5 or 6). I have this very distinct memory of a scene in a walk thru attraction.. Where you're in a dark room, and a ghost with a skeleton face comes at you with a bloody knife. A strobe effect was a used to stimulate lighting from the outside with sound effects as well... I can't figure out where that was. It frightened me my whole childhood after. This was not during Halloween time, but during the summer months. I'm wondering if this was it? Something they added during that time period maybe? We also went to Universal Hollywood during that same vacation. Maybe it's something I remember from there? Anyone have info or any memory of this as well?

One of my favorite Easter Eggs was that the ghost faces were The Cryptkeeper, The Old Witch and The Vaultkeeper from the old 50’s EC horror comics

There's one of these at Idlewild Park in Ligonier, Pa called Confusion Hill. We used to go every year and would go through this while there, lots of fun!

Never knew there was an amusement park behind those shortbread cookies with the jam in the middle, where you can find in clothes stores around the States.

All of these tricks were also done at an attraction in Irish Hills, MI., called Mystery Hill. We went there as teens, and they did ALL of these tricks exactly (the water, the changing places, the chair on the wall, the spigot with no pipe, etc.)

God I miss this place. Unfortunately, I only got to visit it a couple times before they got rid of it. I wish they’d bring it back

Nice Video! Now I know why Ghost Town became a very popular Town in Knott’s Berry Farm! Especially The Haunted Shack!

This was a very important moment in my life and then they took it out and I thought I had dreamed it. I'm so relieved I didn't. It was like a kazzam situation. I literally still have dreams set there.

KBF died for me when the Haunted Shack was demolished and the 9od "Devil's Volcano" curiosity was dismantled outside the Chicken Dinner restaurant. My first trip was in 1970 for my 5th birthday. I went to the first Halloween Haunt. I remember when the Roaring 20s area opened with the parachute drop and the Corkscrew. How about the Tin Lizzy cars you could drive yourself on the corner of Crescent and Beach? I just went back for the first time in decades last month and I don't recognize the place.

I remember the “Angle Inn” at Opryland when I was young. Funny I recall very little else, but these type of themed places do hold fun memories for the littles!

Tilted houses are so amazing. I've been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and no matter how many times I read that it's a trick of perception, I don't quite understand how it works and it simply looks like impossible things are happening.

Any good themed park/ amusement had one of these. Fun Island (a section) in the now defunct AstroWorld had one called the Wacky Shack. It would irritate my mother to no "end" as I stood upright, while she struggled through the attraction. LOL!!!

Been waiting for this one for a while. Loved this attraction and was gutted when they razed it. It was also one of my first haunted attractions at Halloween Haunt in 1990. It was Camp Hatchet Head at that time. I also remember it as Dead Man’s Wharf. Thanks for giving so much attention to Knott’s, Sam! The fact that you give them so much love, and in such detail, when so many others ignore it, is why I’m a Patron. Have a great day! 🙂
