The Knott Family arrived in Buena Park in 1920 to farm 20 acres of land. The famous Berry Stand and Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant followed. In 1940, Walter began building Ghost Town as a diversion for the thousands of hungry guests lining up each day – and the rest is history!
More than 165 rides, shows, attractions, restaurants and shops in six themed areas shape
the Knott's experience. From world-class thrills like Silver Bulletsm to the action-packed Old West Ghost Town® and six-acre Camp Snoopy, Knott’s has something for every member of the family.
Speaking of family, Andie and I discovered the log ride. It was awesome. You’d drive along the water in a log. Bump, bump, bump, you can hear the log hitting the side of the ride. Calmly, bump…bump….bump, then SWISH!!! Yay, you’re wet, and you’re little niece is yelling, “Again, Aunt Rachel!” “YEAH!”
When Andie and I got back, Rosa and Rebecca were upset. You’d think I was a kidnapper. Rudy says that they told me stuff, but I blew them off. It was time for the Super Buffett. We didn’t have those in Texas at the time. And I was ready.
