You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
I've watched all of your walkthroughs once before. Decided to watch them a second time and I'm amazed that I overlooked how wonderful this park is. It might be my favorite.
We live 10 min from Hersheypark, and we still make it a thing to go to Knoebels a few times a year. I prefer this park to the crowded and pricey Hersheypark (even though we have season tickets for HP). The tourists all go to Hersheypark, but the locals know to go to Knoebels. The coasters are better at Hershey, but the overall atmosphere and family rides make Knoebels the better place to go. I just wish it wasn't literally out in the middle of no-where (it will be a travel to get there no matter where you are from).
This walk thru was lovely! I'm going this weekend for covered bridge festival and this gets me so pumped! It really is a unique and whimsical park. I've been going there for years, family tradition!
Great job on promoting this great working historic ride museum . We hope you'll be able to get Karen to consent on ridding Flying Turns one day . Remind her it's the first wooden one built in over 70 years .
I agree we live almost 10 hrs away and I live in Maine we go there every may for Memorial Day and me and my family stay for about two weeks ITS THE BEST PARK EVER!!!( we've been going for 5 years
A terrific walk-through and critique, Jay-- thanks for your efforts. Although I've been there a couple of times, I realize from your video how many things I've missed. Here's what you immediately notice in your video and here's why I love this park: the park is filled with families with kids. On my visits I've often seen older folks, too, and families of many ethnic groups, pregnant women, people in wheelchairs. In other words, you see people of all sizes, ages, shapes, cultures, and classes. It has a diversity that corporate parks like Six Flags will never have. Those parks cater to teens and young adults, and is certainly unfriendly to seniors--try finding shade or benches when you need them. Worse, the cost of these parks is prohibitive for those who aren't riding much, so you don't see many grandparents hanging out with grandkids. Knoebel's is the way amusement parks used to be at their best: relaxing, fun, family friendly, affordable, with decent food and things for everyone to do. The question is why there are not more parks like Knoebel's. Some of the answer to this probably involves making huge profits for shareholders; they are certainly not interested in providing fun for a cross-section of America. I will continue to give parks like Knoebel's my support, and I encourage others to do so.
George Oliver Glad you liked the video, George. Actually there still are quite a few family-friendly parks left. But they don't have the big advertising budgets that the chains do, so you have to hunt for them. I have a couple of them coming up next week.
Fun fact. Kosmos Curves was a ride that replaced the previous Power Coaster ride that had a real engine that ran it. The engine was under the station and was controlled by a stick that led to the load platform and was operated by the guy up top.
Ugh why am I watching this??? I just came home from here =) Its our favorite amusement park and this was our 2nd time this summer!! Love this place and the free admission and parking. You only pay if you want to ride! Great for grandparents or anyone who just wants to enjoy the day with family & not ride.
Excellent video!! many times over the years people who have never heard of Knoebels have asked me what it's like. From now on I will send them right to this video. I'm leaving in 5 days for my family's 16th straight year at the campground & park, & this video definitely got me excited for it. Thank you for taking the time to make this. You certainly know a lot about the great classic rides.
My little guy and I love your knoebels videos! This is the best and accurate informitive one we have seen! Since it's winter and we can't go there, this helps. Haha
it's such a great park, so much to offer, super affordable, not terribly out of the way from philly/ new york/ baltimore. the food choices are super varied, you can go there with $30 in your hand and have a full, enjoyable day and leave with a full stomach. nowhere else I know of lets you park for free, walk into the park for free, and has this much to offer. plus the setting is gorgeous, can't think of anything wrong with knoebels.
I grew up riding the Phoenix when it was the Rocket at Playland Park in San Antonio. It was my first roller coaster and I was devastated when the park closed. One of the top items on my bucket list is to visit Knoebels and ride it again.
I remember the paved area in front of Crystal Pool was the main road getting into the park . You had to watch the traffic when crossing from the campground , pool and train . I have got to get back there before I can't. Love and miss Knobles .
I absolutely love this place. I have been going here every Labor Day weekend my entire life. I am 15, turning 16 by Labor Day weekend meaning this will be my 17th traditional time going. I have so many great memories of this place. Every year, my family has the tradition of going on the Whipper as the first ride. When I come here it makes me feel like a little kid again. I'm writing this in July and I'm already way too excited to come here. I still have a couple of other small vacations coming up such as the shore and even a trip to Boston, but I'm still so much more excited to come here instead. Will anyone be here that weekend???? I'm staying at the Holiday Inn in Bloomsburg, my first time staying there. (Hampton Inn, Danville since I was like 6 and then the Best Western, Danville since last year) (P.S., if this sounds gay trust me i'm not) L
I usually go to knoebels 1-2 times a year and it's always a great time. I go with my family but I'm the only one in my family who likes roller coasters, free fall rides, etc. so both times we go this year I'm taking a friend and we are going on all of the roller coasters and many other rides! going with my best friend tomorrow for her birthday! we are going to have an amazing time!! and the good part is that we only live about an hour away, maybe even less than an hour, so it's very close!!
Fantastic job Jay. It's been too long since my last visit to this park (Pre Flying Turns) but looks like the park still has every bit of the charm I love. I really appreciate these walk throughs because I wish they existed for Mountain Park.
Me too. I just wish I had taken more pictures of Mt. Park while it was operating. I guess that's why I'm attracted to doing these walk-thrus; they capture a moment in time. Even if the park drastically changes (like Riverside did), we can still see what it looked like before.
That's an interesting idea. Outside of the music I post (which obviously isn't visual), I try to keep my videos less static than a slide show. But perhaps the stories could reach a different audience that way. I'll certainly consider it in my copious free time. ;-)
Jay you should of went to the campground got on The Fun Bus. Yes The Fun Bus, it takes those people who camp at the campground and back to the park. You should shown your viewers what the campground looks like and show them the cabins look like. I stayed in those cabins. The cabins have a loft that sleeps 4 people that people climb up. There is a bed area that sleeps 2 and have a "kitchen" area and outside there is a picnic table and a fire pit. Single cabins sleep 6 and Double cabins sleep 12 people and have 2 "kitchen" areas and 2 outside picnic tables and fire pits. There are other cabins in the campground that have indoor full bathrooms with a sink, flushable toilet, and a shower. They have a small kitchen with electric stove and oven and a sink. there is a back master bedroom and a bed area with 2 bunk beds and a loft for sleeping or storing your gear. Outside is a picnic table and a fire pit. I camped there with my wife's family 4 times. I could of gone this year because my wife's mom did not allow me to go. It was Knoebel's 90th Anniversary.
You did a great job of describing the campground. I was actually staying in one of the cabins when I made that video. And I've taken the Fun Bus. The campground is huge and could make for an entire video by itself.
Logan Hanssen THE FUN BUS!!!!! It brings back memories from when I go there each year and when I was little I wanted to go on the fun bus even though we camped about 3 campsites away from where that big sand pit was
Everything that the gentleman narrated is absolutely 💯 true. I am super impressed with this park. It is better than Hershey’s Park. This is my favorite place now!
this park was on the food network the best food at a amusement park in the country I've been there where ever you go in the park you smell campfire smoke it has a very big country feel to it!!!!
This was amazing! We were just there for a quick visit last weekend and it’s amazing at how much we missed but we can’t wait to go back! I’m hoping you will know this! But the little White House next to the bridge that enters Twister? Is that one of the “inside the park” houses you can rent??
Thanks, John. I'm probably going to make another walk-thru of Six Flags New England, since so much has changed since my previous walk-thru. I'm hoping to get to a few other parks I haven't yet documented, but everything's still in flux right now. It'll be a surprise to everyone -- including me!
Ticket booths.are easy to find. They are scattered throughout the park. Hand stamps are only available at the big booths next to the Rotojets and mini golf.
Jay on your website you should make a page about amusement parks that allow you to bring in your own food and have picnic groves and make a page that about amusement parks with the best food as well
I’ll keep that in mind when we finally pull out of this pandemic. Right now my candidates for best food are Knoebels, Del Grossos and Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
@@Ih8kone Well currently the only park I’ve been to that’s still open with free admission is Knoebels. There are a few others remaining in the US. Hopefully I’ll get to those in the future.
Dorney is ruined due to who they cater to from outside Allentown area. Dorney went corporate and sold their soul. Dorney was great in the 60s, 70s, 80s until early the 90s. Knobles is unspoiled by those big city types so it's a much better place with great rides, great food and nice patrons......
hey I'm going there soon and I'm wondering if they still have the net climb thing near the water section and if there is any way to get to it without walking through the water park
I absolutely LOVE Knoebels. This is my favorite theme park ever. I am going back there this year after not being there for at least 10 years.
yeah me too i love it therwe
Their Grand Carousel is one of the very few with a working brass ring dispenser.
This place is so underrated. People who only know about Hershey park don't know what they're missing.
Tell me about it. They need to advertise.
I'd take knoebels over Hershey anyday
So true

at 5:20 is my husband's FAVORITE snack, the potato cakes! I bet he'd fly up to PA from our new home in Florida just for some Knoebels snacks!!

Neio S I love the feel with the campfires smelling and the food is so good
Who else is sitting here in January watching Knoebels videos because they're sad that it's not open?
Thank for showing me all the rides I went there last summer #RIP2019😭But I wasn't able to get on all the rides
It sounds wonderful. They should buy The Big Dipper from Geauga Lake before it goes into complete ruin !
Deirdre Pasko That's not a bad idea!
11:17 The band organ on the right is a Bruder 79.
Going there this summer
me too when are u going
rainbow girl none of your business creep
Travis benson I'm going next week :)
travis same thing
This was amazing! We were just there for a quick visit last weekend and it’s amazing at how much we missed but we can’t wait to go back! I’m hoping you will know this! But the little White House next to the bridge that enters Twister? Is that one of the “inside the park” houses you can rent??
I'm not sure about that particular one. You can find a list of all the cottages here:
www.knoebels.com/stay/knoebels-cottages
22:59 That band organ is a Frati band organ.
Me and my cousins sneak into the park late at night and explore will we are camping it's so much fun
I was there that day couldn't find myself though
I'm going there today in an hour 😁
Jay I love your videos what do you have planned for 2017?
Thanks, John. I'm probably going to make another walk-thru of Six Flags New England, since so much has changed since my previous walk-thru. I'm hoping to get to a few other parks I haven't yet documented, but everything's still in flux right now. It'll be a surprise to everyone -- including me!
KONOBELS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE
Great video. Very relaxing. :)
Going for the first time in a few weeks... how far into the park till you can buy tickets and is that the only place???
Ticket booths.are easy to find. They are scattered throughout the park. Hand stamps are only available at the big booths next to the Rotojets and mini golf.
you should also do a tour of a park that is for younger kids
I did. It's right here: ua-cam.com/video/9nd2fRumnak/v-deo.html

Thanks! c:
Great review of one of my favorite places in Pennsylvania. One thing though, it's pronounced Eee-Lees-burg, not Ellies-burg. It's weird, I know.
Christopher Blair I was going to point that out, but you already did. I've been going to Knoebels for 60 years!
23:44 That band organ is a Berni 107.
Cool
Do you like the Phoenix, because I do?
It's still my favorite wood coaster.
I'm going in 9 days woot woot
This is the same park knobles I'm going to tomorrow
What's the ride at 5:07?
Power Surge
Cool looking ride
Dorney is ruined due to who they cater to from outside Allentown area. Dorney went corporate and sold their soul.

What?!?!!!?!!!
@@Ih8kone
What is the mystery? Dorney caters to thug mentality while Knobles doesn't play the inner city hood game.
Also I was there last year 1 day after this video was uploaded!
Ok you should go again.
Make one for 2020
The grand carousel has 3 band organs
I saw my mom at...
the racoons name is dexter
Any questions? I work at Knoebels. Ask away.
hey I'm going there soon and I'm wondering if they still have the net climb thing near the water section and if there is any way to get to it without walking through the water park
Yes it's still there in the same place it has been, but sadly the only way to get there is to pay the fee to enter the pool
ok thank you I'm going to knobles in 10 minutes and you responded right in time.
come see me at antique cars lol
Chris Davis does it still has that lovely vibe to it
Theres only 2 ring games left i believe this one and santa monica and the santa monica one you throw into a clowns mouth

why did I waste 41 minutes of my life even tho I go to knoebles every summer.....?😂
Giuliana Gonzalez ikr lol, i go twice a year with my cousin, mom, and sister but i miss it so i watched it. Going soon though!
