I worked the Annual Pass gate & was a shift leader for the Admissions Dept., during 1970. 1970, Knott's celebrated with "50 Golden Years" (1920-1970). Special wooden nickels with a special logo printed on them were handed out free to all guests as was a multicolored map with the "50 Golden Years" logo on the bottom of the middle panel. I have both in my collection & I am making them available for sale.

So much has been removed. The old clock, the haunted shack and yes, I even miss the "boysenberry smell" inside of the Knott's Berry Tales ride. I know, time moves on. But, sometimes, it's good to just leave well enough alone. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Knott for a lifetime of memories. You are sorely missed.Memphis Sommershttps://www.facebook.com/memphis.sommersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-9026238829380731402008-04-03T07:07:00.000-07:002008-04-03T07:07:00.000-07:00Awesome post Tim.Awesome post Tim.The Viewliner Limitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730924067419581447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-84632482680033557992008-04-02T18:56:00.000-07:002008-04-02T18:56:00.000-07:00This has quickly become one of my favorite blogs. ...This has quickly become one of my favorite blogs. You are so right about the many changes at Knott’s. It’s really incredible. And you are just going aback to ’49. My question is: the 1950 map has a Chicken Dining Room. OK, fine, but where do the people eat?

You guys are right, that is the 1955 map. The '53 and '54 map are very similar to the '55 version (minus the church).

The maps are both interesting and helpful.<BR/><BR/>I've been putting together a set of KBF maps for the Orange County Archives (where we recently aquired something like 50 boxes of old photos, films and other materials from KBF). <BR/><BR/>What I have so far is a mixture of originals, photocopies, printed scans, photos of signboard maps, etc -- so the quality varies from map to map. I can't scan them all for you, but if anyone is dying to see these they can visit us, and perhaps I can scan a few for the Web too. Here's a list of some of the maps we have that I don't see here:<BR/><BR/>Circa mid-1940s (from a matchbook), 1954, 1956, 1957, 1962, 1965, May 1967, 1968, March 1969, circa 1971, circa 1972 (two maps for special events), 1976 (both standard and Halloween), 1977, 1980, 1990 (Ghost Town only), 1994 (Peanuts Festival), 1998, 2000, circa 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007<BR/><BR/>And yes, the Church of Reflections moved to Knott's in Sept 1955. It may also be helpful to know that your "early 1980s" map dates from 1986. <BR/><BR/>BTW, is there any chance of seeing a high-res scan of that Japanese Village & Deer Park map you posted back on Feb. 28?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-21604324129948688792008-04-02T07:43:00.000-07:002008-04-02T07:43:00.000-07:00Thanks Major!

I worked on this post on and off for the last week. It was fun scanning and then examining each map. Ok, yes my dreams the last few days have been of Knott's maps!

That's why I bumped the year to 55' but that is a guess. Let me know.
