I would like to see you do a video on the original Knott’s Beary Tales dark ride. The new version of Beary Tales is debuting to the public this May when Knott’s reopens, so it would be interesting to see how the original 1975 Beary Tales developed and then why it got got replaced by Kingdom of the Dinosaurs despite its popularity.

So many great memories growing up in the 60s and 70s in the LA area. Cedar Fair ruined Knott's. They took out everything the least bit historical and unique, and replaced everything with thrill rides. So Cal already had a thrill ride park, Magic Mountain.

I worked the haunted shack. My first attraction at knotts in nov of 1988. It was definitely falling apart at the end of its life. There were thick aircraft cables that helped keep the shack up and when they removed them, the shack collapsed on itself immediately. jack falfas was right too. Not many people went inside it towards the end. It seems to always be this way when certain rides or attractions get old and people stop going, once you take it away all of a sudden people want it back to go on again

So nostalgic. I loved this attraction. I went to the Oregon Vortex several years ago and it was not as good. Still worth a diversion off the highway to visit. The closing scene with the skeleton had my favorite line. "I used to work here, but I just couldn't take it"

@rideguy70 3 года назад

I have so many memories here! Loved the Haunted Shack, and it sort of became the Knott's equivalent to the Jungle Cruise as a place for bad jokes and puns from the host. I've personally thought a worthy replacement would be a Vekoma MadHouse, which are actually quite rare in the USA, with only two on the east coast, and none on the west coast at all.

Cedar Fair has pretty much sucked the fun out the park, replacing all charm with as much steel girders as possible. It's as if they have a contract with certain coaster makers to buy "x" amount of coasters each year. The Haunted Shack was awesome, it was a rip off of The Mystery Spot ( and we all knew it ) but it was Knott's version of the Haunted Mansion. It was something unique to that theme park ( stolen idea from Mystery Spot not withstanding. ) I really enjoyed that attraction and regarded it as something I had to see EVERY time I was there. It was a bit like the Jungle Cruise in that you needed a great host to overcome the otherwise easy to figure out gags.

@lutherheggs451 3 года назад

Thats what Cedar Fair does to everything they buy. They suck all the personality and fun out of it and just have coasters, coasters and, more coasters......Surprised they haven't closed down things like the Calico Mine Ride to replace it with some steel monstrosity called the Calico mine escape or something....Yet LMFAO Jaguar still exists and that ride is trash.

A mystery themed roadside attraction in OR? Boy the Gravity Falls jokes write themselves. The Haunted Shack like the Enchanted Tiki Room are needed attractions. A place to decompress from all the overstimulation. Its funny. Its cool learning the history of the Shack. I think the creators would beam with pride knowing this, the Birdcage and even the Jungle Cruise became the practice grounds of countless entertainers from Steve Martin and Robin Williams to radio DJs and MCs.

Great job as always. Keep up the great work on recognizing the innovative history of Knott’s! I worked at Knott’s in the early nineties in a leadership role when the Knott Family still was in charge. It was one of most well managed places I have ever worked at. The Haunted Shack was very well loved as a piece of Knott’s history. I would suggest more videos on such Knott’s attractions as Motts Miniatures, The Transfiguration, The Old Trails Hotel, Jungle Island, and Mystery Lodge/Indian Trails. The shows at Knott’s too would be great fun too- Knott’s Ice Spectacular, the Birdcage Theatre, The CloudNine ballroom and Studio K. There is so much!!!

I think it'd be interesting to merge the haunted shack concept into a walkthrough/roller coaster experience. Have the queue area be it's own experience, taking you through the legend of the original house and feature much of the same tricks, and then at the end divert to a coaster that diverted in it's second half to a twisted version of the first half.

@hotaru8309 3 года назад

Very fun clever concept. I'd love a bit of wooden coaster feel thrown in there. I picture part of it, the twisted half, going through a shack like Goofy's Barnstormer and emerging as a different experience.

@RobertStoll 3 года назад

@@hotaru8309 Ya wooden would be the best option for sure. You'd have to convey the idea of going through the shack or some version of it at high speeds, only real way to do that would be some kind of wooden coaster. Maybe with some sort of artificial cover around the track to give it a tunnel experience..

In the very early 80s I went to Knotts as a child (around 5 or 6). I have this very distinct memory of a scene in a walk thru attraction.. Where you're in a dark room, and a ghost with a skeleton face comes at you with a bloody knife. A strobe effect was a used to stimulate lighting from the outside with sound effects as well... I can't figure out where that was. It frightened me my whole childhood after. This was not during Halloween time, but during the summer months. I'm wondering if this was it? Something they added during that time period maybe? We also went to Universal Hollywood during that same vacation. Maybe it's something I remember from there? Anyone have info or any memory of this as well?

This was one of my favorite attractions at Knott's. I remember being put on the chair on the wall and it balancing and it was fun to walk leaning ramp. Just like the with the Beary Pie ride and Soap Box Racers I was so sad when I finally came back to take my nephew and it was gone.

Any good themed park/ amusement had one of these. Fun Island (a section) in the now defunct AstroWorld had one called the Wacky Shack. It would irritate my mother to no "end" as I stood upright, while she struggled through the attraction. LOL!!!

New Hampshire had a place kinda like this at Clark's Trading Post (now Clark's Bears) 🤔 It was called the Tuttle house and you saw the graves of the people right out front of the house and it was wonky when you went inside with a guided tour... by yourself in later years it was just kinda cool... and now it's a shooting gallery. 😑 Parks age weird in America.

Tilted houses are so amazing. I've been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and no matter how many times I read that it's a trick of perception, I don't quite understand how it works and it simply looks like impossible things are happening.
