About 1995 I was the director for a summer day camp. One of our field trips was to Knotts. It was a hot day and I had my group of about 10 kids. We were going on the Dinosaur ride. It was a great ride for a hot day. Not exciting at all but dark and cool and you can sit. As we were boarding the ride operator asked if I was with the kids. When I said yes, he put all the kids on the ride and then ran an empty car and then boarded me all by myself. It was just the break I needed. I really appreciated him going above and beyond.
Hello PPP, I recently had surgery, so it wiped out my vacation savings, but I gladly watch your videos and travel vicariously through you guys! I love this channel, youve helped me through my recovery! Thank you.
Love Knotts Berry Farm! Just before you walked down the Lane to Sad Eye Joe the counter to write down the names will be on your right, still surprising friends and family! I do miss all the amazing museums they had there back in the day.
I agree all the way and second your comment! :) It makes my day too and especially during these tough times it really feels like a bright light of joy. Thank you Chris and Amanda! :) + Kate for your comment too. :)
For sad eyed joe: there’s still a place to give information to the guy behind the microphone. It’s the small window to the right of the staircase that had the “knot” message.
Couldn't find a better BEST BUD to enjoy the park for the 1st time with. Love Jimmy's expression after riding Ghost Rider + tasting Boysenberry drink! I was a little kid riding Calico. I'd gotten eyeglasses earlier that year. The were all fogged UP when we exited the mine. My cousin thought it was funny. Knott's has a lot of hidden gems + tons of history + great merch and food. The bottle house is truly fascinating. Great video GUYS!
Hi Chris and Jimmy, great vlog as always Chris. Loved Jimmy's reaction and comments about the Ghost Rider, it is a monster, and it is for me, my favorite rollercoaster. I've been going to Knotts since I was a kid in the sixties, love Knotts, it's my second favorite theme park behind Disneyland.
Thank you Chris and Jimmy for coming to knotts berry farm hope you had a lot of fun on this day see you around Chris I really enjoy your channel and all its content please do more knotts content when you can would like to meet you someday
It's been years since I have been to Knott's Berry Farm. Great to see it's still an awesome place to go and have fun with the family. 👍 Thanks for the video. You two are a great team!
Knott's is so underrated. Being about 15 miles from Disneyland, out of state vacationers pass on a visit. Knott's Berry Farm offers all day fun for all ages. Comfort rides, and a western theme great for the over 50 ish people. Fast rides for the young at heart. A year pass is less than a one day entry to D-land, and food prices much more family friendly. Camp Snoopy, an under 12 age ride area is great with plenty of seating for us old folks watching the kids, or grand kids as they ride. Sure, its not as spectacular as D-land, we all get that, but if you have the time, or have a budget concern, give a thought to Knott's.
Growing up in So Cal, our family would go to Knotts the most and Disney once a year because my Aunt worked for Disney and could get us in. I LOVE Knotts and the ghost town is real ghost town buildings bought and brought onto the farm for attractions. We always ate at Mrs Knott’s Chicken Dinner. It’s such a lovely day!
Great job Chris and Jimmy! I haven't been to Knott's Berry Farm in quite a while and it looks like it hasn't changed that much. Sad Eyed Joe was really cool to see, my favorite part of visiting Knott's Berry Farm. The history behind this park is something else. Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you for showing Knotts Berry Farm. Last time I was there was in 1989. I want to go back. My husband- James LeFebvre- worked there back in the '90s.
Thank you so much for the tips and everything you offer I just started watching you and also thank you for the encouragement you give everyone, I am enjoying your videos keep up the good work you are doing you are special God bless you always
Great video! Mr. Provost, you are a good man. Keep going. I like Knots berry farm a lot. Many good memories from there. For me, starting back in the early 60s. Not sure how it is now, but I remember an increasing presence of gang activity from the seventies to 80s and 90s, I think it was due to lack of security, Disneylands security was much better, through the years I have heard of many problems there, plus a neighborhood kid that I knew was stabbed and died there, he was a good kid, in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopefully they have cleaned up their act. Sorry, don't mean to be a downer, but that's how it was. Other than that, Knots was a lot of fun to go to.
The last time I went to Knots Berry was in 1981…what! Nice to see it again.. We’ve been to California many many time( I’m originally from there).. When we go back we do other things Universal,Disney,San Fran…etc…Soon the grandchildren will be going with us and there parents….. Great video…..brought back so many happy memories…👍🇬🇧
Watching and riding with a friend their first time, and getting to experience their excitement and thrill their first time is as good as the ride. Glad Jimmy had a good time.
By chance is this guy on the simple green commercials? I subscribed to simple green when I couldn’t figure out how to dilute it and I could swear this is the guy in those commercials
4:19 Isn't This Window that you are walking toward here the spot where you give the Sad Eye Joe "barker" your personal info? As a parent, you sent the kids in line to see him, and then went to the corner window and gave him your kids' names, pet names, city you came from, etc. It was so wild the first time as a kid you heard him talking about your personal information.
I love your channel ❤️ and you guys , definitely my favorite you tuber, I hope that someday I get to meet you guys im at WDW for my very first trip in April doing the 10k run disney 😊, and next year October Disneyland hopefully I'll see you one of those trips 🤞❤️
I took my family to Knott's for the first time in 2021 and they had so much fun! We went again in 2022 and had even more fun! The park is quite amazing and unique.
I do miss when boot hill didn't have a roller coaster so close to it. But I'm also glad they figured out a way to build a rollercoaster there AND keep everything around it the same. EDIT: Dang 11:56 got me. You're a good egg. Thank you.
I haven't been since I was a kid SMH.... So excited to go on spring break 🤗 Also ty for your videos!!! My kids and I watch them all the time :) They literally know your whole family by name!!! 🥰
This was my first log ride and I totally forgot until watching this. I went on this before ever going on splash mountain and it started my love for log rides.
We haven't been there in over 40 years. :-) But my husband used to go there when he was a boy, and we went many times when we lived in SoCal. :-) Maybe we'll extend our Disneyland trip a day and go over to Knott's. :-)
My family and I were in California last July for a convention my wife was attending. My daughter and I went to Knott's during our time there. First time for us. We had fun, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. If I'm in that area, I'd much rather go to Disney. After watching more videos though, I know that we missed a lot of the park.
Love all your videos🥰♥️. I never see you guys go on Hangtime or Xcelerator. Have you been on those? I’m 61 and went on those! So much FUN. Xcelerator was scary though. Ready to go back 😂. Take care.Keep having fun! Looking forward to next video❤
Just went to Knott’s with my hubby last weekend! Ghost Rider, Log Ride and Montezuma’s Revenge were all closed 😭 But we left with season passes, so we have plenty of chances to come back when they’re open!
Always enjoy when you go to Knottsberry Farm such an awesome park definitelya bucket list park I'd like to visit 1 day. Have you ever considered checking out any of the other Cedar Fair Parks like on the east coast?
My family were family friends with the knott family Walter and Cordelia so in October 22 we took my mom there for her 95th birthday. She even rode the mine ride. Walter Knott was close to Walt Disney so Disney asked to steal a few ride ideas so yeah Disney big thunder was first. When I was 7 I got a huge gold nugget and I guy bought it from my dad for 200.00 back in 1970 and that was a lot of money
About 1995 I was the director for a summer day camp. One of our field trips was to Knotts. It was a hot day and I had my group of about 10 kids. We were going on the Dinosaur ride.

Knotsberry tales is what I remember most from my childhood there at Knotts. Awesome ride!!

Which both does and doesn't feel like along time ago.
I like your pep talks. It is always appreciated
First Time?!?!? Knotts is overlooked and slept on by everyone but my entire family LOVES this park (especially the chicken restaurant!)
Glad to have experienced it!
Once as a kid, my cousins, sister and I went on the log ride 13 times in one day. We talked about it for years. Love that ride.
What a fantastic memory. 💙💚
Love Knotts Berry Farm! Just before you walked down the Lane to Sad Eye Joe the counter to write down the names will be on your right, still surprising friends and family! I do miss all the amazing museums they had there back in the day.

I do coasters from time to time. Hahaha good to see you here, Crystal!
Thank you, Chris!!! This brought back tons of memories from the late 50's and 60's. Oh, the stories!
Always wondered what this park was like! Thanks for posting! Looks fun!!😍🎢 The Calico Mine Train looks AMAZING!!
Calico was very neat!
That was nice , you saying those nice things to everyone.

Jimmy should come back for Knott's Scary Farm.
Ooooh! That would be fun!
My husband worked there in the '90s, he loved it during Halloween!!

Sad eye Joe always called me Red since I was a tiny boy because I have red hair. Always so kind to me, I love talking with him

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
As a child I thought it amazing that he knew my name!
Fun video! I’m just gonna say it: Jimmy is cute, cute, CUTE! 😎
12:20 I love this. Thank you!
🤠 Always good to see my buddy Chris.
I was just there yesterday! How cool!

One of my favorite parks! I'm a little biased cause I used to work there and have tons of memories!
You have to pan for gold and see sad eye joe. Love knotts
Chris, I love watching your videos of the parks and all the fun. Most importantly, your friendly affirmations fill my heart with joy.
The last time I went to Knots Berry was in 1981…what!
Nice to see it again..
We’ve been to California many many time( I’m originally from there)..
When we go back we do other things Universal,Disney,San Fran…etc…Soon the grandchildren will be going with us and there parents…..
Great video…..brought back so many happy memories…👍🇬🇧

It's always great to see Jimmy! Nice video!
By chance is this guy on the simple green commercials? I subscribed to simple green when I couldn’t figure out how to dilute it and I could swear this is the guy in those commercials
We love Knotts too. Camp Snoopy was the first amusement park experience for my son
I've never been there either. Almost like Tweetsie Railroad up here
Love this! 💚

Jimmy Good to see you! Chris you too!
Thanks so much!
I haven't been since I was a kid SMH.... So excited to go on spring break 🤗 Also ty for your videos!!! My kids and I watch them all the time :)
They literally know your whole family by name!!! 🥰
Thank you for the upload
Big Thunder Mountain opened first❤
When I asked my kids what they would change about our recent trip, they said they'd reverse it and spend 3 days at Knotts and 1 at Disneyland
Sooo good love the video! 😊
Yay!!! Love Knott’s! Jimmy! First time?? So glad Chris took you!
I'm grateful he did! Thanks for watching!
This was my first log ride and I totally forgot until watching this. I went on this before ever going on splash mountain and it started my love for log rides.

And thanks for sharing Jimmy's first visit with us. We don't remember our first trip. :-)
The kid came out of Chris lolol what a fun day you had ...
No way! I just missed you! I'm going tomorrow!
My family and I were in California last July for a convention my wife was attending. My daughter and I went to Knott's during our time there. First time for us. We had fun, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back. If I'm in that area, I'd much rather go to Disney. After watching more videos though, I know that we missed a lot of the park.
Love all your videos🥰♥️. I never see you guys go on Hangtime or Xcelerator. Have you been on those? I’m 61 and went on those! So much FUN. Xcelerator was scary though. Ready to go back 😂. Take care.Keep having fun! Looking forward to next video❤
It’d be fun to be Jimmy and have Chris show me around Knotts Berry Farm for the very first time.
Love these videos where you show someone that is enthusiastic around a park that is new to them. How about a Shanghai Disney cross over next?
Just went to Knott’s with my hubby last weekend! Ghost Rider, Log Ride and Montezuma’s Revenge were all closed 😭 But we left with season passes, so we have plenty of chances to come back when they’re open!
Thats a REALLY NICE tie dude!
FUN,FUN,FUN!
You’re an awesome 😎 TH-cam channel.
That area was originally part of market place in 80s and some of the 90s.
I haven't been there in quite a long time. Enjoyed this video. Did you guys also ride Montezooma's Revenge?
My first time there I was so scared of that train ride with those creepy “animatronics“ 🤣
Cuties 💕
The river raft ride is great too
Fun video!
Cold and rainy you must be in disneyland paris.
Still one of my favorite parks… though it is not as fun as it used to be… I miss the soapbox racers.
Always enjoy when you go to Knottsberry Farm such an awesome park definitelya bucket list park I'd like to visit 1 day. Have you ever considered checking out any of the other Cedar Fair Parks like on the east coast?
Chris I love your videos
There now in one of the old smack
Shops. Between the big train 🚆 and the horse and carriage
Knotts is a blast but the lines were soooo long when we went. That was my main issue but I loved the thrill rides more than anything.
Chris you act different in the cold 🥶 😂
It’s amazing
We need an onride POV of Chris riding X2 at magic mountain
I almost flew out of ghost rider as a kid but a guy behind me grabbed me and held me down for the rest of the ride!
Are there express passes that you can buy like at Disney?
I've never been there and did not realize they opened before Disney! It does seem like Disney really ripped off Thunder mountain from them lol.
The voice on the Calico ride is different . It’s been over 20 years since I’ve been at knotts
I still remember Sad Eyed Joe telling us he shared a jail cell with my dad.
My family were family friends with the knott family Walter and Cordelia so in October 22 we took my mom there for her 95th birthday. She even rode the mine ride. Walter Knott was close to Walt Disney so Disney asked to steal a few ride ideas so yeah Disney big thunder was first. When I was 7 I got a huge gold nugget and I guy bought it from my dad for 200.00 back in 1970 and that was a lot of money
Do they still have the grist mill in the Calico town area?
Big Thunder opened September 2, 1979 and GhostRider opened December 8, 1998
