Since Knott's Berry Farm won Chris went to Knott's to reveal the unique history of Knott's Berry Farm, America's First Theme Park.

Walter Knott and Walter Disney were great friends my grandma was Mr Knott's favorite waitress. On occasion shed serve Mr Disney when Mr. Knott invited him to dinner. She's still alive and I talk to her about it to this day. She loved it.

@markloving1718 3 года назад

That's cool!

@richardcarte 20 дней назад

That is awesome :-) I grew up in Southern California and my grandmother when she was alive and working from her job used to get really good discounts on tickets so she used to take me, my mother and my sister there for my birthday every year is December 22. As you probably already know, guessing by the comment around that time they referred to it is Knotts Mary Farm.

My dad was a ride mechanic at Knott’s berry farm for 20+ years. He helped build and maintain a lot of iconic rides. My grandma worked at Virginia’s gift shop for decades. You did a great job on this video. It makes me Berry happy to see Knott’s get some love!

Our high school band played there in 1977. We had soooo much fun and everyone so kind. We got to spend the ENTIRE day there! We also marched down Main Street in Disneyland. That's when they used to have their afternoon Main Street parades. It was quite an adventure for a 102 high school band members from the small town of Schuyler, Nebraska!

Good memories. In 1956 when I was 10, we took a trip to the coast from NJ and visited the new Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farms Ghost Town. What a change. Rode on the train, on top of the stagecoach, panned for gold and rode a "merry go round" with swings and turned by a live mule. I still have some B&W pictures.

Thanks, you made me realize how much I miss going. Last decade or more, the only time I have been to the "Farm" has been for Knotts "Scary" Farm for Halloween. Chris, you did it. I never thought you could tell me something I didn't know. I never knew the origin of "Virgina's gift shop. Considering how much of my money they have, it's good to know. I remember as a kid, with the family standing in line for Mrs. Knotts chicken dinner. FYI... the Chicken dinner restaurant has a great breakfast faire. By all means, tell us more. And don't forget about Independence Hall across the street. You kids are the best.

thank you for this - brought back some sweet memories. Whenever we visited my late sister, Knott's and Calico were must do's. We had to have our chicken dinners and load up on Boysenberry jam. The log ride and soap box racers were our favorites. I remember almost passing out in Calico - it was sooooo hot!

@cjsansoo7 2 года назад

My absolutely favorite theme park. My parents first took me there way back in 1965 as a 10 year old. The memories I have of my grandmother and parents waiting in line and then finally tasting that delicious chicken are priceless. I've been to Knott's several times and now my wife and I have season passes. Even with passes we still spend around $200 each visit buying souvenirs, eating, and just a lot of little nicknacks. Well worth it. When I look back on the times that I went there with my grandmother and parents I get nostalgic and a little teary-eyed. When your little one grows up and takes his children there these memories will be precious to him. Thank you so much for this video. Eat drink, and be berry!

@rdwoolf 3 года назад

I fell in love with Knott’s Berry Farm when I first moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s. It’s BERRY charming. And I loved that it was an old roadside attraction that became a theme park over time. And they pretty much invented (perfected) the Halloween Haunt experience at theme parks. We made a point to visit every Halloween for years and years. I loved the various magic shows that would happen at the Halloween Haunts.

@EonBlueReviews 3 года назад

Thanks for the awesome history video on Knott's Berry Farm! As a local I can't believe I haven't visited Knott's in years but after watching this I'm too excited to check out Ghost Rider and Montezuma's Revenge. You guys really brought light to the culture of the park as well and how it represents the rich history of California.

@kathyjcbibleclubwagner3870 3 года назад

I'm old enough to remember the haunted shake walk through and I don't know if you mentioned but one of the reasons they started to charge at Knott's Is because the "hippies" over took the area. The covered wagon area. And seeing joe in jail and of course the can can girl trying to escape 2nd floor 😊

@Trashious12345 3 года назад

Montezuma's revenge was the first roller coaster I rode. I also loved a ride they had in the 90's called XK-1 It was basically a very high Dumbo ride, but you had a second joystick to rotate your vehicle 360 degrees and can just stay upside down if you wanted. Dangerous, but a good time.

@michaeltaylor1603 3 года назад

A "must" for me during may vacay in Southern California! Being from Houston, my dad would let us spend the summer there in the '70's All summer long I saw the adverts on TV for Knott's. My cousin woke us up (me & big sister) She asked If I wanted to go to Knott's? You never saw a 7 year old kid get out of bed so fast. "Yeah! I wanna go Knott's!!!! Calico Mine Train and the railroad were fav. memories. I'd also gotten glasses, so when came out of the Calico my lenses were fogged up. LOL! You MUST have some fried chicken & Boysenberry (anything!)

@scottg391 2 года назад

By far my favorite park for many reasons, mostly being a few minutes away from home as a kid. We spent many a summer day in this 70’s running loose with 20 bucks in our pockets and a full ticket book. Yes, ticket books. I think they were 25bucks for 20 tickets or something like that. I’ve had many a family member employed there over the years who have told me this was the best place they ever worked. My cousins were train and stage coach robbers mostly….Your son is absolutely adorable. Three times again for the sidewinder, right on. This one scared the bajeezers out of my kids at this age….Great video as usual.

@Loremastrful 3 года назад

A berry good visit for you and your family. For California residents, elementary school kids as part of their California History have to make a diorama of a California mission. On the west side of Reflection Lake. there are several dioramas of the local missions. San Gabriel, San Bernadino and Cuidad de Los Angeles (LA today) and many more. American and California history was the theme that makes Knott's a theme park. From the missions to Independence Hall across Beach Blvd to Ghost Town. I'm glad the Huff N Puffers are still around. That is one of the original rides in Camp Snoopy. My youngest brother threw a fit when he couldn't ride back in '85. He was in that in between age where he was too big and uninterest in the kiddie rides, but too small for rollercoasters. One extra tip, outside the park, the McDonalds on the corner of La Palma and Beach has a huge train diorama.

@GeoTactics Год назад

I remember riding the stagecoach in the 1970's and I think into the 1980's. They had a whole section in the NE corner of the park that was western themed. One of the stagecoach Sheriffs gave me their badge which I still have. They also had gasoline powered cars that looked like Model T Fords on the other side of the road in the area where the replica Independence hall is... so you could ride the cars around and also check out the Independence hall. There was a tunnel under the road for access.

@ecz28 3 года назад

Berry good vid! Used to live about 15 minutes away from Knott's. Don't know if it's still there but there used to be a player piano in a little courtyard. My parents and I were there one night and a tree branch broke off and hit the roof right above us, caused the piano to stop playing lol Still have gold from gold panning there too, good memories.

It'd be berry cool if you did another Knott's video, Chris. This was fun. I joined the military in 1985 from Buena Park, so this was my stomping grounds for several years. I was among the first riders (first day) to ride Montezuma's Revenge. We collected cans for a long time and had them recycled in order to pay for our tickets to ride this amazing new attraction. I hope my home town treated your family well. You may recall that I now live in UCLA (Upper Corner of Lower Alabama). Love the Provosts!
