Hey, friends! We now have the option for channel memberships! This recurring support is similar to our offerings on Patreon, now with the convenience of not having to leave the UA-cam platform. Patreon is still the better choice - the support levels are more affordable, they get a few extra perks, and more of your support comes directly to the channel. But here on UA-cam, channel members get these cool new emojis I stayed up an entire night making: adventurepikachucolonelisland They also get a cool little symbol beside their username when they comment. This upgrades over time to show how long members have been supporting us, and each version is based on a design similar to that first emoji. And for those of you that want to help the channel, but don't want to commit to a monthly membership, you can hit the "Thanks!" button and support us with a one time gift. Don't worry - nothing is going away from the channel with these changes. The regular Archives and Sightlines videos will still be available for everyone. Members will just be getting some added benefits (most of which were already available to the Patreon crew). Thanks for watching, Dave
I had visited knotts berry farm, way back on the sixties as a young boy and i always remeberd the steam train ride, and the recreated mines, i loved it and still have great memories of my visit!
Those guys were so far ahead of their time. Just like Walt Disney was. It’s amazing what hard work and a dream can create. Thanks for the interesting story. Lots of good information. Keep up the great work!!
I can’t imagine how scary the world around them might have seemed with these huge events like world wars and the depression but carrying on regardless. The theme park is such an awesome monument to resilience and endurance.
I think WWI must’ve been quite scary, given that they were living out in the Mojave, failing to grow anything in the desert, barely scraping by financially, AND the world seemed to be falling apart around them. When Walter Knott later said that those years in the desert were the hardest of their lives, and that nothing after that could bother them, I believe it.

Your videos are amazing, both educational and entertaining.

Ngl I saw “popping” as “pooping” for a brief second. 😂🤣😂 And it’s only great because of your help! 💖 Thank you, as always.
That was very informative, but it also makes the ghosts of ghost town seem a little more alive
At its peak the restaurant had the largest dining room in the U.S. if not the world. It could seat over 400 at a time!
