I visited the park back in August and I rode the Pioneer Train. Like most of the rides in the park, it is an irreplaceable antique. It was built the Allen Herschel Company (apologies if I spelled that wrong!) and like most miniature train rides it is powered by gasoline.
You did a fantastic job of showing the world how much fun you can have at a older park. We in Pennsylvania have known for years that between Hershey and kneobles that we don't have to travel to Florida for fun. Just your excitement on the rides made this video fun to watch. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT VLOGGER.
I'm glad you like it watching your video i had so many childhood flashbacks i spent most of my childhood there with my family every summer! just endless happy memories with family Thank you for sharing.
Funny that you did Knoebel’s as I was just thinking about going there! I’m only about 2 hours from there but never been! It’s about time I rectify that!
Great video. I am going to knobels today. I am lucky enough to live 2 hrs from the park as well as six flags NJ, Hershey park, and i live in Allentown so 5 mins from Dorney Park.
Just happened onto your channel. So happy I found you. Your bubbly personality and descriptions are infectious. Thank you so much for posting from a new loyal subscriber.
We had our family day there today we love going to Knoebels. Every summer we do a trip to Knoebels or Hershey Park or Dorney Park. Today was my 1st time on Flying Turns I thought the same as you that it was gonna flip lol. Great job showing my all time favorite park.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We've always felt so lucky to have this park basically in our back yard. We appreciate how uniquely amazing it is and are so glad uou got to experience it!
Great video. Knoebels is about 1 hour 20 minute drive from my hometown so I grew up going there. It really is a spectacular park and they have so many things you never see at any other park. So many unique rides, great food, and its just such a nice park. I also make a point to visit at least once a year. Glad you had a good time!
❤❤❤😊😊 just finished watching a Awesome Park video!!!!… Love 💕 the Roller Coasters🎢 That park has Lots of photo opportunities. 😊 And The prices are just so “Great” !!!… Thank You 🙏 😊 for this Wonderful Vlog… 🤩🤩🥰
You do a great job. Have you done Hershey Park? I'll be at Hershey park August 17. My friend and I might go to Knoebels if it's not too far from Lancaster Pennsylvania
What a treasure. I grew up in PA and there was Hershey, Willa Grove but never heard of this park. Appreciate the video. I live a few minutes away from Universal and I coulda just stayed in PA...LOL! Now I must ride that trackless coaster. Have you been to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio? They have wooden coasters that would give the Phoenix a run for it's money!
@@TheKrystalPalace Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, has a total of 18 roller coasters. Plenty of wooden and steel. It is roller coaster heaven.
I loved watching this video. My family and I have been going to Knoebels for many many years and it truly lives up to it's reputation. A park with an atmosphere like no other, it's literally impossible to have a bad day at Knoebels. Great video, and I'm glad you loved the park :)
Did you know the ride has been open at the park for 38 years? Today is June 15, 2023. It opened at Knoebels on June 15, 1985. Just wanted to tell an interesting fact!😁 Edit: Love the video! I'm going soon. Edit x2: I'm going to make sure I get on Pheonix! 👍👍🎢🎢
FYI, Knoebels refers to their antique car ride as "Gasoline Alley". I personally like the fact that each of the cars can fit 4 riders including the driver.
Never heard of this park before but WOW! Props to Knoebels for having you out and finding your talent. The you did an outstanding job showcasing the park and the on ride footage was insanely good! 10/10
My name is Craig Dennis i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe day today and you take care today👍👍👍👍👍
I was born and raised around Knoebel's Amusement Resort. It will always be a precious summer memory of mine! Next time, I highly recommend you try the funnel cakes and reserve a cabin for the weekend!
I'm happy you enjoyed Knoebels. It's quite the historic park. It's highly respected and adored in the Amusement Park industry. Now you know why. Always a great time. Come back again! Bring some friends!
I went to this park for the very first time about a month ago, and it really is a treasure. It’s so cool that you got to visit finally! , really awesome video!
@@TheKrystalPalaceIt is truly a one-of-a-kind attraction. Believed to be the only one of its kind, Knoebels said, and I quote "They told us we couldn't build it, but we did anyway."
My first day at the park was Friday night. The original plan was to hit up a terrible ride Hellcat at Clementon it’s still being retracted so I detoured 3 hours to get there at 7:20pm just to hop on The Phoenix then come the next day …. Which is essentially the opposite of Hellcat. I will be going every year now. Stayed in Dansville the whole place is like a time capsule. I was blown away.
I loved your video and your excitement over the park. I live 20 mins from there and love to see people’s first reactions. Also my wife worked at the soft serve stand for 14 years. It IS the best ice cream
We were just like you before our first visit. Had alot of people tell us we had to go and we were like um ok? We went and loved it!! Only had 1 visit so far in 2019 but plan to get back there in July again. Totally looking forward to it!! Glad you had fun. Btw...i didnt know about those boats, now we got to try them!
Grew up nearby and have been going since childhood. It's probably the #1 choice for company businesses witin a 40-50 mile radius for their annual picnic company picnics.
I go here all the time because my grandparents live near it. It’s the best theme park ever. Free parking, and free entrance. The tickets you can get at their local supermarkets. Everyone knows everyone. Love knobles🫶🫶
This was cool. Cedar Point used to have a trackless coaster, but not as exciting and they made it a in the dark coaster for its final years. Looks like a fun place, never bothered going there, but thank you for sharing, it was awesome. HHN needs the mug...
Cool video! I never heard of that theme park before, probably because I'm not from Pennsylvania. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself there however. I haven't been to a theme park since 2014.
After watching your video we are now planning a trip next year. We are in NH. We will rent one of their cabins. How many days do you think could be spent in the park? We think we'll stay there and then drive up to Hershey for more days. love your videos.
Yay, you visited Knoebles! 😃 I basically grew up on bumper cars. (scooters) The best in the world. So many rides with awards. You missed the Grand Carousel 🎠 where you grab the rings! Krystal, you need to come back again. 🙂
I literally have NO idea how I missed this video! 😱 I think I was lost in edit land when it dropped and just blacked out everything that hit TH-cam in that 72-hour window lol In any case, the vlog is fire, as always! 🔥 Your reaction to Flying Turns was just about in line with everyone else’s first ride on the weirdest, wildest wooden coaster in the US lol and the Knoebel’s Haunted Mansion is a true gem! Twister is my current favorite wooden coaster, and still pretty smooth for how old it is. There’s never quite enough time to see and experience everything that the park has to offer in one day, _especially_ if you stand in the slow-moving line for the motorboats…but you gotta do the boats at least once, for the novelty of it all 😂 Skull Float was one of the commemorative snacks that we missed during our 2023 visit - sounds like we’ve done ourselves dirty! Gotta circle back for that one sometime later this year 😜 Thanks for sharing, Krystal! Glad you had a great day!
Enjoyed your video. Only started watching you recently. Don’t know if you’ve ever been to Dorney park and Wildwater Kingdom in the Allentown, Pa. area. That’s like the last of the eastern and central Pa trifecta. Great old time rides with new ones mixed in. I’m sure you would love this park also. It’s not free like Knoebels but it’s a great time.
Phoenix looked like so much fun! Love those classic Wooden Coasters!! Tons of air time. That Bobsled ride looked crazy!😂 So cool that they have a Haunted Mansion. Nothing better than an old school Haunted House!!💀👻 Can’t believe how cheap the food prices are.😮 Thanks for the video!
Looks like there is most definitely a world beyond universal studios & disneyworld! Would you say knoebel’s skull float is the ‘duck donuts’ version of ice cream? 🦆🍩💀🍧
What An Amazing And Awesome Park. I Live In California, And When I Can I Go To Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk It’s Also Free Entry Their Biggest Attraction Is The Giant Dipper And The Giant Dipper Is A National Historic Monument
You put the capital T on the end of "sofT"! It don't get anymore serious than that! I wonder if they get their ice cream from the Amish up there? They've had some the best vanilla ice cream I've ever tasted before in Lancaster. Thanks for sharing!
I think you and I would get along great. As for knoebels I grew up going there And plan on taking my future family there one day. I haven't been there since around 2006. The company I currently work for weis markets Is having a company picnic there on the 22nd of this month I will finally be going back there for the first time in years.
😂The moment Krystal thought she was going to take a dive into the Crystal Pool (real name) @ 12:06 . Great vlog but can you tell us what your and your riding partner's favorite top 5 rides are at that unique park? Hope you plan a return visit sometime to hit up the rides you may have missed out on.
11:17 Some people do live in custom built structures such as that one. Hell, I saw documentary about a woman who lives in a gingerbread house (no, it's not edible)!
The original name, for the Phoenix was the rocket. It belong to another amusement park that was run by a family, but when they went out of business, knoebels bought it from them, took it apart brought it to their property and reassembled it
The flying turns almost never runs Your lucky it was working for you since I was in 3rd grade and till now in 2023 me being 20 years old I’ve been on flying turns once because I was only working once
Knoebels Gets flooded bad If you go into the pool they have a board from 2011 I think With the pictures of how bad the park got. Since running water flows though the park they flood fast during bad rain storms It’s sad really
Need to do the train rides and bumper cars both are classics

Thank you so much for the kind words, Philip!
I consider Pennsylvania to be the king of old school amusement parks.
Haven’t been there in god idk 15 years but I have to go back. It looks just like I remember it
A lot of picnic tables and you could bring your own food.
I'm glad you like it watching your video i had so many childhood flashbacks i spent most of my childhood there with my family every summer! just endless happy memories with family Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely great vlog for an amazing amusement park! Love your enthusiasm for the park. Keep up the great work!
We're headed to Knoebels this weekend. We heard about it here for the first time, can't wait to see it in person.
Have the best time! Get some ice cream!
Make it a FULL day .
This park...is one of the best kept secrets in Pa. Since my childhood, every visit was, and still is...magical.
Ahahahah the second part of flying turns looks great!!!!
SO fun!
Thanks for talking about the sensory room. I have autism, adhd, and nonverbal learning disorder. It’s nice to see someone include us as well.
Of course!

Hey, thanks for subscribing!!
Great video Krystal! My son and I will traveling out there with his channel sometime this year hopefully. Looking forward to it.
Have a great time!!
Please do another Knoebels vlog when it opens this year 👍

9:27 Hershey Park has that same ride.
11:17 Some people do live in custom built structures such as that one. Hell, I saw documentary about a woman who lives in a gingerbread house (no, it's not edible)!
The ice cream is all delicious and always was, the potato pancakes was not my cup of tea, the perogies are better
First off wooden roller coasters hurt like hell fyi for everyone
Phoenix is very smooth.
If you're a delicate little flower maybe lol
Seems fun but doesn’t seem diverse
Knoebels is own for there food
During an interview
The family said they only want to serve food that they would be OK with their own kids eating
I go ever summer for a family reunion
We stay four nights in a double size cabin.
Next time you go, you have to try an apple cider slushy

The original name, for the Phoenix was the rocket.
It belong to another amusement park that was run by a family, but when they went out of business, knoebels bought it from them, took it apart brought it to their property and reassembled it

The flying turns almost never runs
Your lucky it was working for you since I was in 3rd grade and till now in 2023 me being 20 years old I’ve been on flying turns once because I was only working once
Knoebels
Gets flooded bad
If you go into the pool they have a board from 2011 I think
With the pictures of how bad the park got.
Since running water flows though the park they flood fast during bad rain storms
It’s sad really
They always manage to safely recover. They dismantle the rides when severe weather alerts are issued.
@@Ih8kone yeah I’ve seen videos of that but I always worry one day they won’t be able to recover
