Mystery Lodge At Knotts Berry Farm

Mystery Lodge At Knotts Berry Farm

[@freimiser]

I love this show. I find it very deep and meaningful.

[@remcat03]

I love Mystery Lodge. Saw it yesterday for the first time in years. I still get wigged out when the storyteller disappears. Well, first he appeared out of nowhere. Later, went from standing center stage to seated off to the side. Then disappears at the end, leaving his walking stick to fall. Can't figure it out. All in all, a beautiful, moving, spiritual few moments with some humor to boot. Universal and eternal words of wisdom. And gorgeous imagery in the special effects. Thanks!

[@richardkato9791]

I agree that is one of the most moving scenes. My guess is that just before the cane is left standing, he gave his summed up pearls of wisdom, and then is heard gently laughing as an owl flies away. Presumably that is him transformed and passing away into the heavens.

It's a MYSTERY

[@DeadlightVisions]

First time I've ever been to Knotts was with my papa "grandfather" and out all the rides my family wanted to go on I went with him to see this show, loved it and to this day I make it a must before I leave.

[@ohmahgawdfilms]

I agree. The story was actually told by a tribal indian it's a story that has meaning to it. and depth. Spiritually it also has a lot of meaning.

[@TheDecidicator]

This is the best thing at Knotts. Almost worth the price of admission by itself. In fact I've gone in just to watch it. I can watch it over and over again. Fantastic lesson in morals, history, and culture. It should be required viewing for all intermediate schools in Southern California. Thanks to Knotts, the Native tribes, and Corporate sponsorship. Long live Mystery Lodge!

[@Venckman]

I love this so much -- just saw it today in fact. I have always found it very moving. It was about the last major attraction Knott's added before they were bought out and the full assault of the roller coasters began to erode the charm of the old place. I'm so glad this attraction has survived.

[@Ryan120420]

I hope your right, It would be ashame to lose such a great and unique show.

[@uncleruckus714]

wow i remember when i was 3 years old watching the native elder, but i was frightened by the thunder effects lol its so weird because its like a flashback from my childhood, god i miss my childhood, and i miss california cant wait to go back i'm tired of living in new york

[@Ovrkyl]

Although this brought back awesome memories of seeing the show, seeing it on video just can't capture the magic of that show. For just a few minutes, a lifetime's lessons are taught, if you pay attention. The simple joys of life he describes everyone should be able to relate to. I was amazed at how convincing it was though. Even though you know it was just lighting tricks, at least in some small part of you inside, you believed it. That's the magic.

[@toots54663]

Went to Knotts Berry Farm 25 years ago while visiting my brother in LA from the UK , my sister in law and her family took us there. We had a great day on all the rides. We all went in here to see this show, I came out speechless. Thanks for posting.

[@snacks123]

i love this show at knotts. it's been there for 15 years. i was 11 when this atrraction first opened. i love the owl.

[@kaylahchurch9363]

I just like the owl how is truely the ravine and he is funny indeed.

[@davidyoungstrom3687]

From time to time i come back to this story on youtube. I last saw it live 8/3/2011. it is proof that nothing is permanent including this show. Time is a trickster first you have time and then it is gone. I hope this comment helps preserve this video.

[@NIKOJEFE]

Why would they have 11 dislikes the show the performance is so beautiful an emotional an its part of life why would there be dislikes?

[@smashfanwii]

wow great effects and a great message a great acctraction

[@k00k1e]

very awesome, thanks for recording... it's been over 15 years since i seen this, i was always amazed how he told the stories. I'm Alaskan Native and the stories are pretty much correct, and they still tell them in some southern villages today. Alas due to tv's and movies, and other things, our culture is slowly dying away.

[@ducksftw9]

tricky raven

[@sevenonefourvato]

awesome show very realistic been there a couple of timess

[@marlenecebreros8461]

I love the mystery lodge because when me and my friends luis and Elijah were just quiet and Elijah hugged luis and luis was like dude

[@SamareckRage]

This show really makes a visit to a theme park feel complete. I hope they bring it back.

[@Sean_from_the_heights]

Me too!

[@LynchByInch]

Good times with my parents, I'll never forget.

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

i really wish you got closer to the stage. this video is SO hard to watch!

[@Ryan120420]

Your welcome. Yes it truly is a great show.

[@Ryan120420]

From the time you enter the building its about 25mins. Pre show and Show.

[@jameshernandez5766]

Good technology for its time

[@TRON8882]

I wasn't sure because the building is very big. That's why I thought he might be above and the screen is tilted =audience/ actor. the / is the direction of the screen.

[@stephanielightsong]

I saw this when I went this weekend :D it was cool ^^

[@LHHSNavyJrCadet]

@dpoagful Pepper Ghost effect The actor is in a different room and his image is reflecting off of a mirror. The smoke is a projection

[@KryssLaBryn]

Thanks so much for posting this. I saw the Spirit Lodge at Expo 86 when I was a kid and it blew me away. Now I'm trying to show it to my own son but of course it's long gone, so I'm thrilled to hear that almost the identical show was recreated here, and I was very happy indeed to see your video of it! As a Canadian and what with needing a passport these days and all, I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to bring him to see it so this is likely the closest we'll get. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Sean_from_the_heights]

Did you ever get them to see it!

[@KryssLaBryn]

@@Sean_from_the_heights Nope. Still need a passport and those are still expensive (and tricky to get if you don't know someone who is not a relative who already has one). :( Plus, well... it's 2020 now, so. Probably not any time soon, either.

[@Ryan120420]

Enjoy it while you still can. Knotts may be removing it after the Halloween Haunt.

[@timcosta7455]

at the end he turns into a raven but the thing i dont like is that last time i was there they didnt fix it for 2 years if anyone has been to knotts this year let me know if they brought it back

[@jakejones5736]

Was there last week. Still the same.

[@Sean_from_the_heights]

I was there last month it was out

[@lego606]

The mask effect has been broken or missing for a while unfortunately

[@starlitcentaur]

I saw this yesterday. The funny thing is you're not supposed to record

[@MrRageCollector]

@Ryan120420 dont worry about it leaving any time soon. its used as a haunt maze, and its very popular ( it usually gets a full house, and sometimes they will use the extended line during additional shows.

[@rockerojuan]

On the last time he disappears I thought the bird mask was real, but the second time I noticed it was part of the projectors.

[@mistahicksta]

I would love to see it properly.

[@Vic22141]

hey is that a real person or a puppet im always confused

[@cachu973]

lol its a good thing u didnt get caught because they say not to film this

[@TRON8882]

Is the actor above the audience? or below?

[@bugoobiga]

pepper's ghost

[@GummieBearGang]

it says do not film ! lol ! i got kicked out trying to film it

[@NAVEMAN3]

could you please get the CC right? I'm sick and tired of crappy CCs.

[@calidashcam6315]

You can't edit the CC anymore since the update, unfortunately...

[@LHHSNavyJrCadet]

I believe he's to the side of the audience more than likely below. But i'm not 100% sure

[@dpoagful]

was the actor real? how did he disappear?

[@90sbabiesraiseyourhands47]

Probably a drop floor

[@1snitches1]

Man i love this show sooo much. It touched my heart. I remember seeing this when i was 7 and I went back there not long ago and i sat next to a kid that looks 8 or 9 and through out the show he was like its fake and all projectors. So it made me realize that kids just don't have a sense of imagination ANYMORE. =*( {their just into technology.}
