The Secret of Knott's Berry Farm - History, Charm, & a CRYSTAL SKULL VORTEX

[@franniealbaugh1298]

Thanx for the mini virtual vacations. I’m a shut-in, can no longer travel about. Grew up in St. Louis MO with Route 66 starting to be abandoned for the new Freeways, as they were known, then called Interstates. Comedian, author, actor, Steve Martin worked for Disney and Knotts Berry Farm as a magician for a brief time when he was in late teens. Just a bit of trivia that shows us, we never know what the future can bring. Enjoy your films and your creative comedic and educational style and “traveled with you” for years. “Hi Ali!” Be well y’all. Thanx again for the entertainment and company. ✌️n💕

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I really appreciate your passion for history.

Justin ! While an employee at Knotts in the 70s , I was honored and excited to work the FIRST Halloween Haunt ! My manager gave me the most awesome position . . . ABOVE THE FIRST RAMP INSIDE THE LOG RIDE . While the wood cutters now sawed upon bodies , I was placed directly above the freshly arriving logs loaded with my prey ! I was armed with dozens of boxes of squirmy , rubbery bugs and creepy crawlies AND many balls of light kite string . My job ?... Well to scare them as I saw fit ! I LOVED pranking the log riders , especially the LAST ONE IN THE LOG with a spider to the back or a "slug" to the face... Of course every rider was fair game . The creators also had given me a multi button control box with each button push producing a scream , howl or cackle . As each night progressed , the guests had become savy of my position and would retaliate with water pistols ! I swear , I was having SO MUCH FUN I didn't want to take my breaks , I was laughing so hard , I almost fell off that catwalk I was seated on . Thanks for all the great vids (and I hope Ally is a keeper!)

[@sbeckbeck33]

Thank you, enjoyed this video. When my kids were in grade school, I took them out of school once a year to go to Knotts.No long lines, and I truly believe this is educational, and we enjoy it more than the "other" attraction nearby.Thank you so much for helping me remember. We now live in Texas and I really miss being able to go whenever I want. Your videos make me happy and I appreciate you, keep up the good work.

[@christinechambers1692]

adulthood made me forget all the Father-Daughter trips I would take there with my dad, specifically for chicken dinner. Thank you for reminding me that this great place is still there and that I am overdue to experience it in person. I havent been since 2000!

[@jit9300]

yo Justin, every year, I go to Knotts with my friend. I like how u skip Disneyland every once in a while, and I see u go around Knotts. It's a weird feeling when ur favorite youtube channel visits a place u visit so often.

[@MrPatriotSon]

That was GREAT ! ! ! Thanks

[@souljaezra]

Awesome Video Justin!

[@rosswo100]

You always manage to cheer me up!!

[@donnytucker]

This video rocked!

[@rrun13]

WOW I appreciate these videos and how you go over the history within knotts. I always overlook the sites and go on rides. Next time I visit I need to take a look around.

[@toyoko9]

that crystal shop was built my dad its also haunted . I have the most wonderful stories and experiances working there, he was a concessioner ,this was a bells portrait studio . I cant tell you how many times I swept that floor or built a fire in the fire place ,and went up and down the stairs to the top floor . I had the most amazing childhood

[@neobogard]

took me nearly a year but finally caught up to justin's latest vodeos. now i can subscribe.

[@scottthorson1]

Knotts has it's own smell! Grew up in Anaheim worked at D'Land when in high school but always perfered Knotts. The 70's and 80's at Knotts and D'Land are great memories.

[@kennethcook8857]

What you're hearing from the Barrel House is an old poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "The Wreck of the Hesperus".

[@VetericusNoire]

Hey Justin do you remember when Knott's used to have all the player pianos and musical instruments? As a kid I used to stand there in the (little) Saloon and put dimes into that piano for hours! Then when I grew up, I got my own.;) I think Knott's auctioned them off a few years ago

[@JoeLoesch]

My first recollection of Knotts was during the 1950's. Much of the original town was designed after the ghost town of Calico, CA. I enjoyed your romp thru present day Knott's, it brought back some great memories. Thanks.

[@Mixwell1983]

Never really paid attention to the peak ins. I had a pass in then in the mid 90s, worked there at chowhouse in 99 and now have a pass and take my son. That doorway behind candy store is where i used to go and clock in when working at chowhouse... Ahh the memories. Im goin tomorrow and ill have check out the peak ins.. I also remember when the knife and smoke shop were by the school house and cemetery before shoved back by the corner.

[@xFaithkeeperx]

It's been a while I haven't been to knotts. My childhood theme park

[@avastentertainment]

Justin, Thank You for making this! We are Pass-holders at Knott's Berry Farm and visit frequently! I love the fact that you focused on the History of Knott's. We vlog there sometimes. BTW, loved the Seinfeld Pretzel reference ;)

[@myfamilymatters]

Would love to see Knott's Berry Farm someday. You always do such an amazing job Justin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you and Ally and London.

[@minutemark]

5:52, I think that's the door to back stage. I remember there being a narrow hallway with a mirror for employees to check themselves one more time before they enter the ghost town. Next time you're there, try to open that door. When I was a teenager, I walked back there once and looked around. I was asked what I was doing, so I said I was looking for a restroom. I explained that I had gone through a door near the Bird Cage Theatre, and the guy brought me back into the ghost town and directed me to a restroom. Later that summer, I walked onto the back stage area from the delivery driveway and continued walking directly into the ghost town. I thought I was clever back then, but I now realize that I was just a cheat.

[@ThemeparkNThings]

You know what is nice about knott's Disneyland is near by... when knott's closes head on over to Disneyland we do that all the time ....I need to start doing vlogs like this if I was a a popular KZbinr like justinscarred I wouldn't mind going to parks with him seems like the perfect person to hang with at parks but I only go on Monday's and Tuesdays those are my days off

[@richardmckrell4899]

your gun joke cracks me up every time

[@sebastiantinoco9844]

Aye love your videos keep doing what you are doing

[@flustereddolphin]

If you love history and amusement parks you should absolutely visit Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. I know you'd love it! Gatlinburg is also just 10 min away and is like a small slice of Hollywood. And the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is just a mile out of Gatlinburg. It would be a great stop on any east coast trip!

[@tinomacchia5410]

Ciao Justin, I stumbled onto your channel and became an instant fan. Keep up the great work. Question: do you know why they removed the mannequins in the old west? I was there a couple years ago and they were there.

[@MililaniJag]

Nice to hear from ooooooold Sad-Eye-Joe in Jail! He sounded a little younger!!

[@jeremysmiech8338]

I wonder who that was.......hhhhhmmmmmm

[@SignalTidz]

Pretty neat place, i'll have to check it out one day.

[@nicke.5036]

Omg, I'm dying at the "power" sound effect being used over and over! XD

[@wlwal1]

Another Great Video, Justin!!!

[@raevonday4197]

We were just there and we missed seeing you, darn. It's a pretty cool place to go, definitely a slow down from Disney. Refreshing. Had quite a conversation with Sad Eyed Joe, he is quite a rascal.

[@lilsambo4386]

OMG !! Where did you get the pictures of the crate house? That used to be my grandfathers knife shop. We lost all our pics in a fire and good pics of the crate house/knife shop are hard to come by.

[@Elemiriel]

I really want to go to Knotts! Eventually I will get there... living 1000 miles away is a bother lol Thanks for the slightly more detailed look!

[@SRHunt85]

I loved the geode shop! We would always got a geode every time we visited Knott’s. I wish we had more time in CA this August!

[@jaysands6391]

Knotts is a laid back, VERY FUN day out. Has a definite charm, big D land LOST A LONG TIME AGO.... COLD BEERS, ALOT less stressful of a day, old California flavor, funnel cakes, FOOD that puts D land to shame, AND youll save about 500 to 1000 dollars!

[@silentbobstash]

YES! GREAT VIDEO!

[@nathanbateman]

Ghost town, crystal skulls, a vortex, and the oooooold West!!!!!!! Awesome video Justin!!! I’ve been to Sedona so the vortex stuff is extra funny! LMAO!

[@vonndevera]

I’m watching this before School!!!! Thank you for already making my day!

[@X-OR_]

Justin is insane in the membrane !!!

[@briansanchez5758]

Last time I went to Knott's, I actually made it a point to seek out the Catawhampus. . Good times

[@donaldnelson9761]

"My ADD is gone!!" That totally busted me up! Thanks Justin!!

[@MyWestiesTV]

Very nice thanks for sharing Justin have a great day Mike

[@kgarofalo71]

Great episode Justin. Me thinks the head injury may be feeling better? You seem a little more comfortable at knotts than you have at Disneyland lately. Does constantly being recognized make you anxious or are ou cool with it?

[@xenoraider2167]

Awesome video Justin like always

[@tylerbodiford5322]

Tyler should start a vlog channel

[@ToyManTelevision]

I love crystal skulls. (Or Knott) Didn't know you were a Twain Fan. Me two. Or is that to. It's Knott too. NO WAIT.... Whatever. Boy could I tall you some Twain stories. Like the lost lead mine. Or like the time I stumbled on his grave. While looking for old dead filmmakers from the early early daze.

[@Dragonmaster-ff7bu]

"MY ADD IS GONE!!! What's that?" LOL!!!

[@cecilyerker]

I went to the British Museum years ago and saw their crystal skull. It was carved in the 19th century and passed off as a genuine ancient pre-Colombian Mesoamerican artifact, even though we have tons of art and artifacts from that time period and never found a crystal skull at an excavation site.

[@Atlantechvision]

This Pretzel is making me..... thirsty! Poor Mr. Allen... wonder if he ever finished his movie?

[@jimbokay5696]

Finding cheaper rocks at Knotts! And combining with Tyler to make number 4! Keep avoiding those sodas; lets see that hundred day mark at least!!

[@ClayArtGirl]

Did you happen to be standing next to the freeway and jumping behind the wall of it Wednesday the 9th? Because I could have sworn I saw you wearing that very outfit doing that on my way to Disneyland!

[@brianonthego]

I have to get back there soon. Tickets seem like a deal.

[@Lordylbc]

Great video !

[@imdoinglaundry]

Have you been inside their museum? Or looked up the weird history of the red barn?

[@darkamy100]

Hi Justin, my daughter like to watch your videos..but she likes the part when you were holding the gun lol

[@JQXJQ]

Joe was especially sassy that day.

[@jeremysmiech8338]

"Joe" is always sassy when "Someone" is doing him

[@SuperLQQK]

LOL the gun gag is still funny.

[@keepinupwithkiah309]

Nice video

[@jonbooth4472]

where can I buy your pin badge from ? really like your vids man

[@06mustangCE]

Sedona is beautiful but the people there believe some silly things. Thank you for not taking them too seriously.

[@DavidCervera702]

Have you done a video on Calico town near Barstow?

[@LuxProc]

Lve your vids!

[@Mixwell1983]

I liked the shooting gallery best when it was across from log ride before they put that big eyesore panda express in it's place

[@GregsVlog]

Sad Eye Joe is sounding a bit younger thesedays. I guess jail is actually good for him...

[@sandybaum9345]

Lol...another great one

[@Saltysouthernauntie]

me and my cousins loved going there. We would make fun of the cowboys as they had fake southern accents and we had real ones. Of course they would chase and shoot at us LOL!

[@iamjjking]

YaY, Justin is *Verified* 👍🏼 for the Video & "The Check Mark" 😉You Deserve it 😎

[@carolsring]

[@jesters08joker]

People still rather pay 1k and be shoulder to shoulder with people at Disneyland than have actual walking space. Guess people dont enjoy roller coasters.

[@thebrinksf69]

Thank you. That is why I don't go there anymore.

[@crmtheanimefan]

just dont get your rock stuck in a hard place lol

[@prostitch626]
