    Knoebels is such an amazing amusement park. It is smaller than most but you can get tremendous value out of each visit. Amazing food, friendly people, and great rides all for a fraction of the price compared to most parks.

      It is the most amazing amusement park with super rides. If your baby sits up there's a ride they can go on.
      It is clean and has the best food.
      Just the safest and friendliest family park in the northeast. The best campsites, RV sites, golfing and entertainment.

    Knoebles is the most unique park in the US. It's free to go in and free to park and they have an area where you can camp. They have an rv area but also a place you can tent camp with full facilities for those campers. You can also rent cabins there. If parents are sick of the park there is an 18 hole golf course which is quite difficult. Lowest I ever shot there was 82 and I have a pretty low handicap. Also has the largest pool I've ever seen, it's like an acre big with all kinds of slides. Park also has a creek running right through it, you can fish inside the park but there are 100s of creeks and lakes for quality fishing for the sportsman. Plus they have kick ass rides. The wooden roller-coaster The Phoenix is voted in the top 10 wooden roller-coasters in the world every single year.

      If that sign says it’s a safe ride, that’s all I need to know!

I’ve been going on roller coasters since the late 70s, there bigger and scarier now than then but I still love a fun roller coaster ride and when I turn the big 6-0 in November, I’m going to Six Flags in here California, to get on all the roller coasters!

      @@JMarieCAlove Thank you for your comment. My comment wasn't about safety--it was about maintenance, failure points and down time. The more possible failure points, the more possible down time.
      The Flying Turns was built like a tank. The track was rock solid. It's unlikely that a failure of a car would have resulted in sever injury or death (just a lot of road rash). I'm not aware if that ever happened, but I sure wish I could have gone on the flying turns before it closed. Euclid park had a great history, but it ended when the original owner passed. His family didn't know how to innovate or invest. :( Euclid should never die in the history of amusement parks.) It was a great innovator. As I recall, the rocket cars (circling silver rocket cars) was created at Euclid. The Euclid Steeple Chase (fast merry-go-round) Ride was sold to Cedar Point--it's a marvel and I'm in awe about how beautiful the rides is. Much love, my fellow coaster park enthusiast. I hope you have more opportunities to do what we both love. I've aged out of the most extreme rides but can still ride some really fun coasters.

    This is a great ride. Been on it a number of times. Not smooth, so you get jostled quite a bit. Knoebels is a great amusement park in a beautiful setting. This particular ride was completed for several years but never opened due to safety issues. The rumor is that they couldn't get the cars to stay in the track. Always felt weird to goon rides close to it and see it just sitting there, unused. Knoebels also has the best bumper cars.

      It was basically a trial and error build, took them many iterations to get the trains right in order for it to meet current safety standards. They actually wound up having to weigh the riders, as too much weight in each car can cause them to tip.

    There’s been a lot of roller coaster disasters and I’m not aware if there were any that happened with this ride. It seems very safe and the people who designed and constructed it were focused on keeping the ride safe enough so it’d stand the test of time and not be demolished within a few years after being built. And it worked!

    • @butter7734
      @butter7734 Рік тому +2

      No there hasn't I'm a local. Except when they were building it it was delayed for like 3 years to work out safety issues. Since it opened no accidents. The only accident ever at Knoebles was a mentally challenged person freaked out on the skylift that takes you across the park and jumped or fell. He survived though.

    • @randomtraveler9854

    This park is straight out of RCT. A chairlift that goes up a hill for no reason. Obscure ride types like this that the park built themselves. Food stalls in the shape of the food they sell.

      I've always said this. Not to mention, a train going under a wooden coaster that has a zig-zag lift hill that's split in half, and a car ride going under another wooden coaster. Plus, the carousel and organ music. I could go on.
