Black Diamond At Knoebels Lights On Mounted POV 

definitely had less or different braking on the two drops when it was Golden Nugget; you can see on videos from that era how much faster the carts took those big curves below both big drops. Particularly fun because as GN, that first drop led to a 180 curve precariously dangled outside the ride enclosure.

This was a classic Hunt's Pier ride back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's in Wildwood. So much has changed since it was transported to Knoebels, but I like the way they renovated the ride in an effort to keep the Golden Nugget spirit alive.

A fascinating peek behind the curtain. It's not every day that people get a chance to see something like this. Thank you!

its weird how this ride is acctually kind of scary

They should give people a chance to ride with the lights on, have certain times of the years when the lights are on.

Can you imagine how unbelievably rough this would be if it went any faster?

How can 74 people have missed the like button? Great ride and a throw back to a time lost.

I love Knoebels SO much

I have been on this ride a few times, but seeing it with the lights on gives a different perspective. Thanks for posting!

Originally it was the Golden Nugget at Hunts Pier in Wildwood New Jersey many years ago. Then it sat vacant for years until the pier was reopened as Dinosaur Beach until that pier closed. Many childhood memories at Hunts Pier.

Good attempt at a Disney type theme ride. I like that it comes out of a gate at the side at the end. I remember my brother and I at the haunted house ride at Seaside Heights, NJ waiting in line by the gate where the ride ends trying to tell if people like the ride or not or shouting "How was it?"

Well, you just earned a subscriber! Love the video and the ride looks amazing!

This is pretty cool, didn't realize a lights on POV for this one existed till I came across yours.

I am so glad I found this video. I used to ride this every summer when it was the Golden Nugget in Wildwood. Watching this, I could almost feel as though I was back riding it with my sister, laughing away, with my mom waiting for us outside. Begging to ride it one more time. Then heading over to the Keystone Kops. Good memories!

just about to get on!

This is cool! Different perspective!

You dont realise how well kept this ride is until the lights are on , WD nice video

Did anyone see the person at 4:21

Wow, what a long ride!

I'm even scared of the flume, I went on it before and I cried

I have been on this ride multiple times and it looks totally different with light off😂

Tbh I was terrified of this ride as a kid because of the animatronics

Are you scared yet? IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU, TRESPASSERS!

Loved this since I always wanted to see a haunted ride with the lights on. I also always wanted to climb out of the car and now I see I won't ever be doing that.

I rode this ride when it was on Hunt's Pier in Wildwood; N.J. GREAT Ride.

Thats a awesome ride.......long

Wow. A wonderfully well designed ride and beautifully photographed. Thanks. Loved every second.

Fun but wish it had more speed

Looks like a cool ride! Reminds me of the blazing fury at dollywood a little bit

I love this ride. I go on it every time I go to knoebles

Amazing Funny Ride. Would love to ride it one day ba myself!!!! Maxx

I only like this ride because its mining themed me being from schuylkill county I am a coal miner myself and its really unique having the coal mining theme

This is somehow better than most of the dark rides at Dubai.

Fantastic way to view a dark ride thanks .

I wished I liked this ride more. Being local to the area, I've ridden the ride several times and it does not impress me for the whopping price they charge for it. Anyways, nice video!

this is great great GREAT

Who let the haunted mansion and big thunder mountain have a baby.

The only thing that has ever bothered me with this park is the almost themed rides. There are so many places where with some more work you could really take it over the top. You could build this rides theme out with foam concrete and really make it feel like an underground coal mine. But it feels a little cheesy. The haunted house is the same way. As is the log flume. There is a certain slight lack to the theme and where it is heavy it sort of looks like kids did it. Knoebels has my heart for life. But they really need to work on their immersion.

so cool what a neat ride!

I love this ride

My dad went on this and so did his friend and my sister, I'm too scared tho :

I LOVE ❤️ Knobles/ KENNYWOOD and HERSHEYPARK

That looks like a cool ride

Nice long and interesting ride. Seems that no expense was spared with the displays. Blackpool. UK, had something similar but shorter and now re-adapted as a rather silly children's ride, Wallace and Grommet.

I seriously have been going to K'noebels for 4 years now and I have never been on this ride...😢

Greetings! I am working on a video about the Scariest Dark rides. May I use this footage and give your channel full credit?

If you grew up learning about coal mines, this ride is scary as shit

It's more like a haunted house tbh, but it seems fun. Also, do you need a pass? If so, which pass?

MY FAVORITE RIDE AT HUNTS PIER WAS THE GOLDEN NUGGET SHAFT RIDE AND IT KILLED ME TO SEE IT SIT ROTTING YEARS LATER ON THE SAME PIER. THIS RIDE HAD TO BE PATTERNED AFTER THE GOLDEN NUGGET.

I cried on this and I’m in 6th grade ;-;

this is the only POV of black diamond i have seen so far >_

I wouldn't wait in line for that.

It's nice that they saved it but nothing was like the original in Wildwood, NJ from 1960. Still nice however.

this ride is cool i like it

I wonder if the staff ever ride it with trims off.. it would be so much fun.

whats with the water at the end of their rides the haunted manision is like that too

What a cool ride.

So I am not personally a fan of roller coasters or many rides in general. My company had a family day at Knoebels and I wanted to enjoy myself. I looked at the rides they offered and decided this would be a good one (mind you I haven't been an amusement park since I was 11 and I'm 23) I went on it, loved it, however the last teeny tiny dip freaked me out so much I just about peed myself!

I was so really scared but it was so very creepy and stuff and also i was on that ride with Preston Koch

Strange, as you sort of expect it to pick up but it never does

This ride reminds me of stranger things a little

This is good enough for young kids to go on.

What did you say to them for them to turn on the lights? or is it like you work there or something? Btw, when I went they weren't allowing anyone to record at all, any explanation?

I hope this place has a good sprinkler system because it looks like fire trap!

Best Rollercoaster EVER!!!

This is like 3x as long as the Whacky Shack at Waldameer Park Erie PA.

The video actually made me feel a little upset : / I think it's less magical But!!! Konobels was stupid for not putting enough light on half the things that happen on the ride on the ride I didn't notice half the Easter eggs

Wish it didnt have those trim brakes on the drop

What a weird pro mining ride that was

I definitely could’ve done that

I think I will go on that ride again in knoebels I will be Ok with this ride

what a weird ride

Do they have a version with the lights out? That's what ruined it

que buen juego mortal

Anyone see the kid walking on the left at 4:21?

Wait is it supposed to scray? I never been on the ride

If this is a roller coaster, then the Haunted Mansion in Disney World is also a roller coaster....

Long ride.

This is like a rollercoaster/darkride/trip to hell

This is like new York play lands ye old mill ride

why Are there only 2 Smaller drops?

We went on that when I was like 7 I hated anything fast or things that have drops and stuff and I still do my gram parents and my parents wanted to go on it and I didn't at all so when we were getting on they kept saying it was a cho cho ride (train ride) even the people who were controlling the ride I believed it than I had to go through all of it and came out crying but I still hate those rides

Suks , big time !

Bizarre

Where at is this at the park

いきたいですよね

The roller coaster that wasn't

Was better when it was The Golden Nugget

This is not powered trains is it? Can't see any way the train would drive itself along the track in a lot of places, impressive the way it maintains a consistent speed if it's not powered..... most of the track must be on a VERY gradual decline.

I went on this normally, not scary... Lol

Nothing all like it was in Wildwood. Looks pretty boring to me. Such a shame it was my favorite ride.

The lift tools and drops throughout the ride were pretty cool but the overall idea is really lame, not much to see... would have been better as they wanted house or Haunted Mansion type of ride with more things to see

Umm I can't see the props

😰😰😰😰😰

That ride wasn’t scary at all. I thought it was gonna be scary but it wasn’t

Well that’s 5+ minutes of my life I’m never getting back. 😴

Nope nope nope

It looks like it COULD be fun, IF they took their foot off the brake. Why is it SO SLOW?? The animatronic figures on the sidelines are having more fun than any rider would.

At least itsnot sceary thouh as hunted house that scaery one inever gone back tothat never will wel this black diamond is ok thisis notbad if want to scerd out of your wits then go to field of screasms terror farm perry new port pa thats good one gtesburg one thats goodone

Not a roller coaster
