I grew up in La Palma and went to Knott's all the time. Before the fence went up there was no admission and a cheap Sunday for us. I thought I might revisit *I live in WV now) but it is so changed that I may not.

The artwork's kind of funny, is the lady in the drawing excited for her husband? or just excited to get a new Maytag Highlander Automatic Washing Machine? 50's clipart could be so ambiguous.<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the Knott's Week in Review. I honestly haven't been to KBF in 15 years for various reasons, but from what I've seen in your posts, I've been to Magic Mountain once, and the New Knott's looks like it's aimed for the same demographic.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365847952380109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-2121463444678652832008-11-24T05:09:00.000-08:002008-11-24T05:09:00.000-08:00Thanks for a great series!The "original" Berry Sta...Thanks for a great series!<BR/><BR/>The "original" Berry Stand has been demolished for some time time now, and actually - wasn't even the true original one used in the 20s on Beach Blvd. It's a complicated tale - best told by Phil Brigandi, I'd say...Chris Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759410855891198273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-87352675019819705402008-11-23T23:56:00.000-08:002008-11-23T23:56:00.000-08:00You haven't lost this reader.

Would love to see before and after comparisons of the Candy Parlour and Steak House (now an arcade and pizza parlour respectively....sad!)<BR/><BR/>That fire engine used to sit in front of a faux firehouse facade that was located between the Haunted Shack and Cordy's Corner at the entrance to the Roaring 20's. It was kind of set back, so it wasn't very noticeable. Where is it today? It was kind of difficult to tell from the photo.<BR/><BR/>The Original Berry Stand has moved around over the years. I have childhood pics that show it next to the Candy Parlour, but when I worked there in the 80's, it was where the loading station for Silver Bullet is now. When I last visited the park...about a year and a half ago, I was shocked that it was gone and I asked at Guest Relations about it, but nobody even knew WHAT it was. They brought out a supervisor and she was completely clueless as well. How sad is that? Walter and Cordelia are probably spinning right now.<BR/><BR/>Since the Original Berry Stand and the Haunted Shack are now gone, then I'm willing to bet the Little Chappel by the Lake was bulldozed. Probably the only reason the Church of Reflections was moved and not torn down, was because it was a real church with real weekly services. Every Sunday, we would see the church goers come into the park and then leave after the services. Oh, and then there were the weddings that were regularly held there too.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157943953608089697.post-26301030105257280752008-11-23T14:09:00.000-08:002008-11-23T14:09:00.000-08:00I am far from being a Knotthead, but your last few...I am far from being a Knotthead, but your last few posts have been fantastic.
