Knotts Berry Farm Ghost Town Alive & My Favorite Dark Rides - Meeting Snoopy / Beach Blvd Changes

Knotts Ghost Town Alive

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Knotts is so dang good. The log ride and mine train ride are two of the best old school attractions ever

[@travissapp4961]

Yeah I havent been to knotts scenes 2012 I might go in October

[@jtesla7334]

The word "Caribbean" comes from the Carib Indians, the region's first inhabitants, and some say it should be pronounced "CARE-ib-bee-an". However, the Associated Press Broadcast Handbook lists the pronunciation as "KUH-RIB'BEE-UHN", which may be why some broadcasters mispronounce it. I prefer the first for the ride and the second for the islands.

[@DeniseHlavaty]

I thought you would have gone on more rides. Have not been to Knottes Berry since 1977!!! Really enjoyed it loved the rides.

[@FanOfFab4]

I was there in January 1980 - I think maybe it is time for a return visit!

[@erica.e.emily1]

The Mine Train ride reminds me of Silver Dollar City’s Fire in the Hole, which I loved. They opened a new Fire in the Hole this year, but haven’t rode it yet. Hope it’s as iconic as the original! Enjoy your CA time, Adam. 😊

[@bridgetkorns8174]

The employees at Knotts are what makes it so special.

[@riparianlife97701]

We handed a phone to two cowboys to take our pictures. They pretended to be having trouble figuring it out. When they handed it back, we had 10 selfies of them and one picture of us.

[@kristiemoore7741]

My daughter works there so I'll take that!!!

[@DavidThomas-vj3eu]

California definitely has quality actor/actresses at Knotts Berry and other parks there. Really nice watching. Very badass roller-coasters too.Thanks Adam.

[@EsmeGrubb]

I'm going to try visiting Knott's. I'm not very mobile anymore, but I think I can get around Knott's. I won't ride anything, but I just enjoy being there. Thanks for visiting for us.

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

My mom has some mobility issues and she did Knotts with myself and my kids, a few months ago. She had a great day! Just take breaks when you need to. I hope you have a wonderful time!👍

[@EsmeGrubb]

Thank you! ​@@Sparty-pi3jq

[@johnnymoran180]

Do it!! No regrets!!

[@danieligray]

“Calico Mine Ride” was the last ride I operated when I used to work at Knott’s Berry Farm back in 02’ and trust me, it was the funniest ride to operate. Thank you Adam for showing this ride some love!

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s one of the best . Always loved it

[@danieligray]

@@TheDailyWoo Same here and here’s a quick insight. The ride is timed while operating it and I believe it is 8-12 minutes long and we as the ride operator/conductor operate the whole train and have to meet certain marks on the exact time or else the ride will stop/stall. When you go next time, sit behind the conductor and you will see a timer in red next to them which helps keep them on track/reaching their marks. The spiel we learned for the ride was another fun thing to learn as well. 😁

[@369284ab]

@@danieligrayso, I read somewhere that the trains run on gravity. Is this true? Do the train engines actually work?

[@danieligray]

@@369284ab Great question and from what I remember, we fully operated the train and even had to use a break to slow the train down. I believe it does run on gravity and that ride is mostly going downhill and is why we had to constantly use the breaks and had to make sure we met our marks with the time when operating it.

[@boardcertifiable]

Calico Mine Ride rules!

[@traib3588]

Thanks for the video! It brought back so many childhood memories. My grandparents lived about a mile from Knotts on Stanton Ave. I have great memories of the mine ride, log ride, and panning for gold. My grandmother used to send my sister and I christmas dresses from a childrens store at Knotts every year. Also, I can't believe how different Buena Park looks. I went to the wax museum there so many times--sorry to see it go. Fond, fond memories!

There goes a truck with some brooms on it 😅😂. Had me laughing during my workout 😆

Yo Adam, your adventures are making me miss SoCal. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@charleneheiland8803]

The Alligator Farm ,long gone ,Japanese Deer Park,long gone. Dont remember the name but a large shop to purchase melamine/ melmac dishes. Waited on Mrs. Knott at the bank where I worked for many years.Hope you make home without anymore "disasters ". I remember when Knotts didn't have all of the rah rah rides.How about seals ? Yep !And no admission ,no fences.Could walk around ,have a boysenberry punch and feed the seals,with son in his stroller and he just turned 65 !!!!.Lean days still gave us a fun days.

Really great adventure.When I was a kid …you could afford to See Disneyland one day and Knott’s Berry Farm the next.Not so much anymore for the average family.

[@JCW1013]

Knott's is way more affordable than Disney, except for when it comes to food.

[@karenwaldorf5671]

That new McDonald's looks like a car dealership building 😅

[@floridaman7660]

Every fast food company seems to be adopting what's been called the "shoe box" look. Bland rectangle buildings with no character. Kinda sad these places give up character for fancy modern designs.

[@StinkyGringo]

Yeah much better than having unique theming 🙄

[@darsstar6440]

I love Knotts berry farm. I’ll be there next week. The people that work. There are so wonderful. It’s so much fun there. I’m glad you’re there Adam.

[@bob4364]

Hello Adam great video, theme park rides, attractions, Snoopy's birthday and more in Buena Park, Ca..Enjoy your day..

[@MikesVegas]

I ❤️ Knott’s as well Adam, not only for the Boysenberry Goodies or the OG Chicken Dinner, but I’m a big fan of Charles M. Schulz, and fact that Knott’s loves The Peanuts as much as I do, means a lot ! 😎👍

[@goldentiki3310]

😍 Love Knott’s as well! And their funnel cake is always a must when we go there! 😁🩵

So fun to see Knotts again. Thanks Adam!

Thanks Adam! I never knew how great Knotts Berry farm was until I saw your videos. Now it’s on my list of places I need to go!

It’s a great place

[@RetroRobbin59]

I haven’t been to Knotts berry farm in a very long time. Thanks Adam for taking me along.

[@johnrambo7630]

The mine ride is incredible

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s one of my favorites

[@paulabarnes3351]

Thanks for the many trips to the parks adventures. I’m happy the mine train still has the bubbly pots whereas at Disney it is now done with lights. Finally back to home state CA several years ago, I had nostalgic fun on this mine train, so much going on and the nostalgic look makes it even more creepy. You can’t top perfection. I rode with my son’s mom in law, when she got off she told my daughter in law “Don’t you ever get me on that ride again!”

[@paulabarnes3351]

Several couples crammed into Judge Roy Beans office and were married en masse, back in 1965, the ring was a bent horseshoe nail. A popular place on Saturday nights. Fun!

[@albertjimeno5315]

Yes both Rainbow Caverns in Big Thunder and Calico Mine

[@bobbypaluga4346]

I love Knotts, the chicken dinner is wonderful. When we were at Disneyland we’d take a break around 2 pm and drive over to Knotts for the dinner relax then return to Disneyland. As far as bang for your buck Knotts delivers prices are very reasonable. The mine ride and the log ride are amazing, they have some great coasters too.

[@marklee_702]

It was called Movieland Wax Museum back in the day. It was very cool. 😎

[@lisabaca6793]

I use to go to Knott's Berry Farm all the time growing up in the summer. Back when I was a teenager it stayed open tell 11 and after 4 you could get it for 10 dollars. They also had a place called hobby city that was close by. I miss being able to go all the time. Now im homebound due to health issues. I also love Snoopy and all the Peanuts characters. I grew up in Barstow California so I was close to Calico Ghost Town.

[@EsmeGrubb]

The bear is called Boysen Bear. I just saw his name on the Knott's Berry Farm app.

[@albertjimeno5315]

That is so cute.

My drove my Mom crazy begging her to let me go...nope! My Grandma offered to take me...nope. Knott's looks like a blast, when I get to feeling better I'll have to go check it out!

Fun times at Knott’s. Glad to see the good old stuff is still there! The Calico mine train made me wonder about the Calico Ghost Town, outside Barstow. Have you been there? That would be fun Adam! We camped there once for a music festival back in the early ‘80s.

[@NickL951]

This whole video is a perfect example why i prefer Knotts over Disneyland. More of a family atmosphere, much easier to move around, and they dont gouge you on admission prices. And the food is reasonably priced. Love Knotts!

They used to have a section of the park that was Roaring 20's in the 70's saw KC and the sunshine band when I was around 11 years old and one of the ride in that part was a motorcycle roller coaster and scared the hell out of me !

I 2nd the comment about your trying out cedar point. Once you go there your going to make many visits after. It's always been an amazing park. The roller coasters there are some of the best in the world

With Kings Island being my home park, I have always been jealous of the entertainment Knott's has and that Cedar Fair was never able to bring that over here. Stage shows and occasionally a parade. No interaction to this level.

Beach Blvd. I stayed there a couple times recently and would walk down to McDonald's for coffee at 6am. Interesting to see it all new. I go to Knotts for a piece of pie and they will validate your parking ticket for 1 hour with purchase.

[@michaelcase8574]

Just across the street from Knots before the Wax Museum, there was the Clifornia Aligator farm. Lots of gators mostly laying there and one hue one sliding down a huge slide. You used just be able to walk right in. Lots o people would go there for the restaurant for dinner. Right there in the theatre, the Everly Bros. Broke up, right in the middle of a show. Lots of history there!

Back in the day I would go to Knotts with friends and one would pay to get in then exit and we would transfer the black light stamp from hand to hand. One time we hopped the fence in Fiesta Village. We never got caught.

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

This was great! Heck today I got more news from the plaza that Felix a Cuban American restaurant is going under or going to be sold like Watsons I highly doubt Chapman University is going to buy it but I just wish the city council would back the merchants. I really liked this diversion I'm not a roller coaster person but thank you for all you shared in this it makes me appreciate the area more. Japanese deer village used to be where movieland Wax museum was located I know they tore that down years ago and nothing has been put up. That was one of the best wax museums ever! I haven't been to knotts in years not since doing 30 days of not Halloween Haunt when my friend Kevin Suarez introduced me to Cassandra Peterson. I think the best part of the video was that Halloween display. I would love to obtain that Elvira! Thank you onward and upward!
