We have been going to Knoebels for over 35 years and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your commentary and enthusiasm from both of you really captured Knoebels. It makes me want to jump in the car and go there. Thank you for bringing this video to us. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Continued safe travels and enjoy life at these beautiful parks!

If you guys missed the Bumper Cars, you need to make sure you try them out next time. They're old-fashioned cars that really slide around--always leaves a smile on your face!

Everything is always 50 times better in USA, they know how to make everything bigger, bolder and better! 🇺🇸 wish the uk would follow in there footsteps

This park looks great and truely special. Never having been to the US, this one appeals to me so much more than anything Six Flags has to offer. To me it even looks like I would enjoy my time there more than Sea World, Universal or the Cedar Fair parks. Ride line up is only a secondary concern to me and it's more a about how the park atmosphere feels.

Well here is the thing where they are at now in Pennsylvania, my home. They are literally in a mecca of theme parks within decent driving distance. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, one of the flagship parks of Six Flags, Dorny Park, cedar fair Park ( its kinda meh ), Hersheypark. In my opinion one of the best line up of coasters in the US. All these parks are within about and hour or so drive from eachother. We have alot within this region.

The world needs more parks loke this. Feels like it would be a great visit even without going on the rides.

Fun fact, the reason why you have to pay extra for the haunted mansion is so that kids won’t get bored, climb out of the cars and vandalize the attraction. That’s why unlike so many other classic dark rides around the US there’s no chicken wire.

Knoebels being described as "proper American" hit it right on the money! I live about an hour and a half from the park and unfortunately didn't get to go until my teen years! I love it so much, though, and especially enjoy bringing the kids' grandparents since it's free parking and admission. So happy you enjoyed the park so much!

It’s such a special park

I rode that wooden roller coaster during its last year of operation in San Antonio in 1980. I love knowing that people are still riding it and that, it is even famous now. My favorite coaster ever, since I can't do spinning and twisting rides due to the motion. Thanks for featuring it.

Im 47 & live in Delaware. We had a cabin near here in the family when i was growing up. Now my kids grew up here. Our daughter's are 25 & 26..but our son is 9 yrs old & has been here twice a year since he was born. My parent's take him & they stay at the camp ground in a cabin. Or what Knoebels calls a cabin 😂😂😂. This brought me back. We would get a bracelet to ride all we could & we'd go from i think like afternoon til evening. The only place we could roam around & meet up w our family & nothing bad happened. Not sure w the way of the world if that's possible anymore. We'd have to meet up every hour just to make sure we were ok! Phoenix was my favorite ❤ The food was delicious! Pierogies..Fries & Ice Cream were our faves. We are going to take our Grandson who will be 6 next year. Great video. I subscribed. Can't wait to see your adventures ❤

It was crazy!

The Phoenix was my childhood coaster back in its original location in San Antonio in the 1970s. I first rode it on my 6th birthday before the days of height restrictions. My older sister panicked thinking I was going to fly out and put her arm around me after the first airtime hill. I, on the other hand, had the time of my life and instantly became a coaster addict. I was12 when it closed, and for me its closing came to represent the end of my childhood. I've truly never ridden another coaster that comes close to it.

One of my favorite things about Knoebels other than their fantastic lineup of classic coasters and the free parking/admission, they encourage you to bring your furry friends! (As long as you clean up after them and they are people and other pup friendly) I love that about this park and how you're able to bring them on the trains in the park! It's definitely a unique one-of-a-kind park who is dedicated to its historic routes and to its patrons! Can't wait to head back hopefully sometime this summer!

A great value for a family especially if some members don’t go on rides.

What blows my mind about the Haunted Mansion is just how simple everything is. The truck is actually just a vent cover and some lights. But it really looks like a truck is about to hit you. Same goes for the little monster in the oven. I believe his eye was made out of a football! And they brought back the skeleton mirror room after removing it a few years back. It’s in a different location now, but it’s so cool they brought back a fan favorite for the ride’s 50th anniversary. Glad you are enjoying your trip and thanks for sharing!

Flying turns, Phoenix, and twister look amazing and they would be something I would want to go on if I had the chance. Can’t wait for Hershey Park tomorrow guys!

Twister is definitely my favorite so far this road trip!!!

I'm really glad that you guys had a good time. It's such an overlooked park. Also it's good to know that people visiting from other countries look at parks that we have here in the same manner that I look at parks that are found in other countries, which is with a sense of awe and adventure . If you're ever able to come here to the states once more, please let me know, because if you love classic haunted houses/ghost trains then you need to ride Trimpers Haunted House in Maryland and another haunted mansion in Delaware, which happens to be a 30 minute drive from each other. And Trimpers is not just older than Knoebels, but it's also longer and in my opinion better as well. The Haunted Mansion in Delaware is just as good as Knoebels! Haunted Mansion . I'll even give you room and board over a weekend. I'm being 100% serious with you P.S. I've been having a pretty difficult time today but after I finished this video moments ago it helped me pull out of a nose dive and for that I just wanted to say THANKs friends!

i can remember back in the late '70s when the Blackpool Grand National had only handbars - we used to put our bags and rucksacks in the car with us and so our legs were bent under the seats holding them in - once when going over thr bunny hops the seat lifted up and got disjointed through to the end of the ride ...

Wauw knoebels I am surprise this is amazing park it's one of my favorite parks after watch this video ❤ greetings from Belgium pennsylvania and ofcourse shawn and charlotte for this amazing good video from Knoebels ❤❤❤

52:17 The lady, going up the drop tower, “oh, sugar!” Gotta love it. Feel like, you’d only hear that in that part of the country! 😂 And she has a friendly chat with Shawn! 😂

One of the craziest rides I have ever had on a coaster was Twister at night in the pitch black and it was raining. The coaster was absolutely hauling. The whole ride was a blur but absolutely amazing. It speeds up a LOT in the evening. The Larson drop tower at Knoebels is really great too. They are my favorite drop tower manufacturer.
