Oh Big Mike...this is not a competition...it is all about sharing the love.

Anyways, Good Luck! -GAME ON!

I love this old Knott's stuff. In a way it seems like the park use to be the west coast equivalent of Silver Dollar City.

Awesome! Guessing from your avatar, I'm looking forward to anything you may have on Knott's Berry Tales. And on the subject of extinct dark rides, if you had anything on Adventure Thru Inner Space I haven't seen, I'd just die!

Shane - do you know the exact year for those maps that you posted?

All this old stuff is awesome! =)
It's really interesting to see how parks progress through time.
In the second brochure the guy on the front looks like santa, but on holiday in the wild west.
On the third one it looks like they are selling children for $9.95 (much like disney do with lost children ;) )

Can't wait to see more. :b

Thanks for all the Knott's stuff. I have, or had, a lot of that myself. I grew up in Southern California, and I worked at KBF during the time Cedar Fair came in. It saddens me to think of how much Knott's has lost under their regime.

If I don't have to limit myself temporally, then Knott's would still easily be my favorite park. (Of course, it would be a Knott's with the Haunted Shack, the Tampico Tumbler, the Sky Jump, etc.)

The Park Californians Call Home, The Friendliest Place In the West...oh the good ol' days of Knott's. I'm really enjoying this look back at what used to be one of my favorite theme parks in the world.
