Ah, when America dreamed for a tech future. Instead, the 80s happened & now it’s easier to do LBOs & gamble with Bitcoin than invent something

I grew up a couple of blocks away from knotts berry farm and have a lot of wonderful memories and stories . I never hear anything about the seals or the petting zoo or the flamingos . So much of this place seems to be forgotten.

*Sees title and how it tries to trash his beautiful concept like everyone tries to do* N o .

Interested on your opinion of the sight lines of epic universe. It’s kind of all over the place

Still a truly perfect vision.>:(

Studio K and Cloud 9 was my hang out 🥰 then when videopolis opened up at Disneyland then we went there as well since we had our annual passes

You keep saying motels but you obviously mean hotels. Motels you drive your car up to and park right outside your room.

Great video - thanks so much for making it! Walter Knott was always quick to point out that Ghost Town at Knott's Berry Farm is not a replica of Calico, California. It is a composite of various ghost towns in the West. He always referred to it as "Ghost Town," not "Calico."

At its peak the restaurant had the largest dining room in the U.S. if not the world. It could seat over 400 at a time!

This looks just like the plans they have for fortnite

Yes! The series continues!!

Disney was one of the original contenders in the sale of Knott's. They had eyes on turning the Farm into Disney America, the park that was planned for Manassass, VA. They would have used Independence Hall as the park's entrance. The Knott family felt Disney would change the park too much and that Cedar Fair would keep its legacy. The family was wrong. Knott's has slid into disrepair over the past few years; several ride closures, construction delays, and lack of cleanliness. I am hoping with the new merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair that the park will be sold (to United Parks and Resorts, e.g. SeaWorld/Busch Gardens) or that the sale of others in the combined chain brings in the revenue to bring Knott's back to it's glory. If I could design the next phase of Knotts, I would redo the park entrance. The area to the left of the entrance with the very old rest rooms is a very conjested area and needs a redesign. With Ghost Roder as popular as it is, the park could benefit from another similar ride. Maybe a Giga, mabye not. I think an RMC similar to Zadra (a ground up coaster, not a conversion) would give guests more of what they like. Push the warehouses to the edge of Crescent Ave (a noise buffer) and expand the park's footprint into the aear made by moving the warehouses.

There were 6 original Wind Seekers: Carowinds, Cedar Point, Kings Islands, Kings Dominion and Canada's Wonderland. Knott's was the only version painted differently than the other 5 due to placement in Fiesta Village.

What ya didn’t say though was that The Haunted Shack was basically going to be condemned. When they removed the three thick cables help holding it in place it fell upon itself. Plus it wasn’t ADA friendly. The Sky Jump was going to take what I’ve heard a million dollars a parachute to fix a problem with the computer system and such so just too expensive to do that. Things that Cedar Fair wasn’t responsible for. Other stuff though yes they were

Guys we're watching this video and it's great. Hit that like button!!

This was so interesting. It appears that the purchase by Cedar Fair not only saved Knotts but also almost destroyed it. The theme parks had no choice but to create changes after Disney and Universal entered the picture. But I'm excited to see what happened after Cedar Fair . Please please let us hear the continuing story as only you can tell it!!!!

Keep going keep going keepgoing i grew up in orange county born in 85 u hit perfect on all my childhood memories i love lovelove your videos

EPCOT was a front... Walt built a Stanford Torus!

I want Horizons and Delta Dreamflight back. Heck, if I were able to access a time machine, I would go back 1994 and visit Tomorrowland and EPCOT Center. I miss the "view of the future" from the perspective of the early to mid 1990s. They changed "The future we could have" to "The future that never was."

That was very informative, but it also makes the ghosts of ghost town seem a little more alive

I for one would love to play a city simulation game based of the original E.P.C.O.T. concept and I bet a lot of other folks would feel the same.

Looks too auto dependent

I love how Knott's hired former Disney Imagineers/legends Rolly Crump, Eddie Sotto and Bob Gurr to design some of their most themed rides (Crump - Bear-y Tales, Sotto - Soap Box Racers, and Gurr - KOD after Bud Hurlbut had retired.

Amazing documentary! Thank you!

I was born in '92... So I'm no boomer etc lol... But it does seem when women go to work, the whole world suffers more exponentially

It seems the teenagers of the 1960s were the begining of the end of normal America... What a terrible cultural revolution ... Tbh my own mom was of that very generation and she was seriously messed up in almost every way ... The women of that era are Karen witches that think they own the world and their number knew goal in life is to emasculate every man they come into contact with. Lol

Perhaps the best thing to do is to add a few more rooms. Because I think the message of the original carousel of progress was the transformation from an agrarian society where everything was done using human or animal power to an industrialized society. I think the intention was to remind us how much easier our life is now compared to a few generations ago.. To start with the dawn of the computer age and the Internet, is like reading a book starting at the halfway point.

I love this, soo, soo very much. Thank you for doing these videos on Knotts Berry Farm and it's family. These videos encapsulates my love and affinity for EVERYTHING knott's related. I love the can do American spirit the family had. I along with Escape Designs on TH-cam made a giga-coaster concept that heavily pays homage to the rich history of Knotts, as well as it's continued efforts to have impactful & unique attractions. Give it a look, I think you're gonna like it. TH-cam channel Escape Designs Video Knotts giga-coaster concept and park improvements proposal. Its a 23 min video, with the most detailed designs you've Probably have ever seen for Knotts. Lmk what you thought!

0:28 that didn’t last forever, I guess (because KBF has Passes, which you now need to go into the park)

It’s kinda nice to see the Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park change over time in this video, I’ve seen a few of Knott’s lands change in a few ways, like how the ride Knott’s Beary Tales: Return to the Fair was a retrofit for the ocean themed ride, and seeing the new pizza place just across the street from the ride, and seeing the fiesta village change too.
