Knotts has one of my favorite log rides in existence . In some ways I like it better than Splash Mountain , it’s a close one tho . The one at mall of America is fantastic as well . What is your favorite ?
TheDailyWoo the log ride at Knotts has always been my favorite ride.
I actually hate getting wet, but I love lug flume rides. Splash Mountain and the Timber Mountain Log Ride are neck-n-neck for me, but the animatronics at Knott's frighten me a bit!! I think I caught you at Disneyland on Monday or Tuesday, but you were by the restroom so I didn't say hello!
Funny cause my sister likes splash mountain more than The Timbermountain Log ride, IMHO I still recommend knotts for the boysenberry funnel cake! 😄
With out a doubt Knott's Log Ride is the best. As a note I was there on the day it opened 50 years ago. I remember seeing John Wayne. Live on the other coast now so I could not attend in person but enjoyed the experience through your video.
Yes, the one at MoA is an underrated classic.
50 years and still one of the best rides at Knott's! I would love if they built a new water dark ride with animatronics.
That would be dope
Bring back Knotts berry tales for the 100th anniversary of Knotts
Calico river rapids is a Water ride with dark ride elements, it used to be Bigfoot rapids.
@@viccas9301 God, thats all Knotts needs to do now. they have been on a roll as of late with all the love for old knotts. heck, why not bring both Kingdom of the Dinosaurs and Knotts beary tales?
@@rexrabbiteer yes. I would love to see that. I am actually working on a petition asking Knotts to bring Knotts Berry Tales along with Wacky Soap Box Racers back in time for the 100th anniversary. Most rumors are pointing towards a new roller coaster. However I would like to see a new dark ride. Knotts could repurpose the existing Spurs and bakery building in order to make way for a new dark ride. Knotts berry tales could thematically fit within ghost town since the ride's theme focuses on the farm's famous boysenberry.
I've ridden the log ride for DECADES! I was there when John Wayne and his son rode it although I was too young to remember them. I do still have the pics my mom and dad took of him that day! GREAT vid, Adam! THANK YOU!
This was and still is my favorite ride at Knotts. I use to love to raise my hand high, and hear; “Sit down”.
Shout out to the guy at 3:42 with the throwback pamphlet. That's pretty dope!
Agreed it was very cool
I worked at Knott’s back in the mid 1990s and still have my Snoopy badge. After every shift I would ride the log ride. That summer I ended up with pneumonia from coming home wet at night lol.
I did too! Worked Camp Snoopy, Wacky Box and XK-1 (we called it XK-101). Raffi was our Ops Manager.
when i was a Kid there was no Admission fee to get into Knott's. the ride's were, the Stagecoach, the Steam Engine, the Calico Mine Train and the donkey ride (in 1969 i was 11)
all those except the Donkey ride are still there :)
Same here, my parents would drop us off in the morning and pick us up at sundown, cheap way to get rid of us kids out of the house and get a day of peace and quiet.
It opened 11 years before I was born. It opened in 1969 & I was born in 1980. That was nice of the kids to give you the map that they handed out back 50 years ago.
I've always said that Timber Mountain is the best log ride there is. From its history at Knotts, to the famous story of Tony Baxter taking the idea for Splash Mountain, to the fact that it's just fun makes it just my favorite. The scenes, as odd of a collection that they are, are really fantastic. It always surprises me to hear that the drop is 75 feet. It really looks and feels so much shorter, especially when you compare it to Splash Mountain that only has a 50 foot drop but looks and feels so much taller. I wish I could get out to Knotts more to ride it more, but to save myself the trouble of getting there and avoid getting wet, I'll just watch and like your videos, Adam. Can't wait to you finally bust Sad Eye out.
Oh cool! The second animatronic is the Hobo that was removed a few years after the 2013 renovation. Guests had broken his arm. Good to see him back, he was in a different spot before
rexrabbiteer Where was he before
@@sideeswipe its not shown in the video but he was in a corner before entering the cave with the first drop
I rode it back in 79. I was in the Navy and bunch of us drove up from San Diego. Man, I need to go back! A COOL ride on a a hot California day! Tks, Adam!
As a child of the '60s, I rode this more than my dear old grandpappy's mule. Many a fond memory at Knotts. Nice to see the new whippersnappers enjoying it.
Wow -- goofy fun at an amusement park -- beats a million ersatz light sabers, any day...
May the berries be with you!

I took my first log ride at Knotts in 1970. It's my all time favorite ride. I just love it!! Sad Eyes was in jail then. He hasn't aged at all.
Omg yes he was! I went to Knotts for the first time in 1972
Jail must be good for Sad Eyes,since he hasn't aged much in 50 years.
@@timothyokane9710 Yeah, he'll probably be there in another 50 years from now. He will outlive all of us.
@@1lenny if ever he was to step out of that jail cell he would probably age rapidly like the villain from Indiana jones and the last crusade who drank from the wrong cup thought to have been the holy grail lol
I rode the log ride in 1976. Four years old. Had to nestle in my dads lap. Loved the animatronics as a little boy especially because I had just ridden Pirates of the Caribbean the day before. What i didn’t understand was that the plunge was coming!! On that same trip my dad threw me on the gas tank of the “steeplechase “ motorcycle ride and we did that ride too. Ah the 70’s....
Motorcycle ride at 4 !!!
That ride opened a week before men walked on the moon.
Have to love the people who know the history and everything to do with the log ride. Their happy smiles express this.....
I remember visiting Knott's Berry Farm in February 1988 with my folks; while my mom and I went and checked out the rest of the park (after riding the Log Flume twice,) my dad rode the Flume 6 more times before we came back. Dad loved that ride!!
The guys who waited for you in line to give you a map -- so cool!! I was working at Disneyland on Mon-Tues night, and I think I caught you around the New Orleans restrooms around 3:30 pm, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't say hello!
*Full stalker mode* lol
My dad and my son rode the log ride at Knott's Berry Farm over and over again when we were there. They loved it!
In my bucket list of places to visit next time I’m in CA. Thanks Adam for bringing us to the 50th anniversary of the log ride.
Adam, Whenever I hear 'You're invited to come along. Shall you?' There's only one answer: 'YES!' The log ride is a classic. And don't forget some fresh funnel cake by the log ride. The bottled sarsaparilla toast was classy. Knott's is my favorite park. Wonderful period pictures and some nice current artwork. Thanks; glad I went along for the excursion. Keith
I remember riding this with my girl scout troop when we were about 7, we all were crying and in the end photo, we were all sobbing, including my mom.
Thank you for the video, I very much enjoyed it. Knott's has a special place in my heart. I had worked there for 8 years, from 1979-1986. I also met my husband here (been married 38 years) he worked at knotts too. I enjoy all your videos, thanks again.
I used to work at knotts and it probably was the best time of my life.
I rode it back in the early 70's.... I've lived in CT ever since and it does my heart good to see it's still alive and well!
Best ridecat Knotts! I ride it many times back in the late 70s and 80s. Its awesome to see all that has been added to make the ride even better than it was.
When I was a kid - Millions of years ago my Favorite ride was the corkscrew,,,miss that ride....
My first Rollercoaster was the Corkscrew at Knott's also. I was 5 all the back in 1980. I still ride the old Knott's Corkscrew every summer still. It has been located at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho since 1990. It is close to Coeur d'Alene. Silverwood is a fun park, check it out. Hello from Phoenix Arizona!
Nice too so many people giving the berry farm some love !!! Such a cool place and so much history, now they need to bring back the parachute ride !!!
Always a fun time watching ya! 😎
I remember riding it as a kid back in 1977. I was 5yrs old. Favorite ride still today. I'm 47 now.
Wow sweet
Thanks for showing the map we made.
My wife was so excited when she see it in the episode.
Thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment.
Rode this in 1974 on family trip from Canada. Remember this, and that for some reason they were out of chicken at the restaurant....
The summer of '69. I remember it well. Rock on
Adam, what great fun, particularity for an aficionado, like you are. Fifty years, that doesn't seem possible.
TY, as always, for taking us along. This was terrific, Adam. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome vlog. Log rides are one of my favorite. I have been looking for a vacation spot. Thank you for sharing.
I hadn't realized that in doing the math, the first time I rode the Log Ride when I was 8, it was only 6 years old ( in 1975!) That's kinda awesome! I remember the live log rolling, talking to Sad Eye Joe in jail, the train robbery, the Haunted Shack, and panning for actual gold!!! Such fun!
That’s so cool
What a great day! 1969, the year I was born. I hope to get there one day. Great video, thanks Adam 👍
Adams catch phrase
" Of sorts " lol
Of many !
I don't know what was more important, the moon landing or the opening of The Log Ride....Hmmm... That's a hard one. I've never been to the moon, but I've ridden the The Log Ride hundreds of times. I might be a bit biased, is all I'm saying.
Glad that you spoke to Sad Eye, can't watch a knott's berry farm without Sad Eyes. He always has good advice for you.
I always try to check in with that fella
Definitely take him a funnel cake next time! Poor guy.
Sad-Eye Joe is cool! Wish I lived closer, I'd visit Knotts. Thanks for all the videos Adam!
Good evening Adam! 🤗 Wow that looked like fun & very refreshing! Great vlog dear.👍🌹
Enjoyed the video!The ride looked awesome!My first log ride was at Opryland, originally named the Flume Zoom then they changed the name to the Dulcimer Splash.The pin you bought looked awesome and the shirts for the event looked great too!
Wow!!! The log ride looks like so much fun!!! It's amazing 50 yrs and still rolling on.
Looks like you got in that line at just the right time. And that program from day one was really cool too! Great video Adam!
Used to have a pass there in the mid to late 90s when I was like 11. Worked there in 2000 at Chowhouse and other food areas and now I am 36, have a pass again and take my 3 year old. Literally grew up at Knotts.
Many great memories over the years of this great ride. Overall Splash Mountain is my favorite but there is something special about the Knotts Berry Farm Log ride. Great video thank you for posting!
Thanks for the fun log ride Adam👍
Great video thank you! Remember riding the log ride n then going to the parachutes the ride my mom divorced my dad on! Lol great memories miss knotts going back in 13 days!
I liked your vlog today! Just letting you know I care. Thanks for everything you do.
Heck to the YEAH!! Love that Log Ride!!
Remember the Corkscrew that was next to the Log Ride? #002 is now located at Silverwood Theme and Water Park in Athol Idaho. They have a log ride there as well but not as good as the Knotts one. Its all open but you can splash the riders with water cannons after the drop. If you ever make it up here you have to take a ride on it for old times sake. I did and it brought back the first time I went on it in 1974. Middle school day at Knotts. Yes rode the log ride too a few times but you had to buy tickets to get all rides then.
Adam . First Log Ride I had ever been on . EASTER 1971 . Still My Favourite Log Ride of All Time !
I love riding log rides those are always fun and exciting and a great way to cool off on a hot summers day
My favorite ride ever. Thank you for showing this
I saw you there today! But was nervous to say hi lol but definitely one of the best log rides around for sure!
the first new animatronic at 1:57 looks alot more advanced, he actually blinked, the others dont blink. pretty awesome
My favorite log ride, especially during Halloween!.
I worked on that ride in the 1980's. Loved it.
1:18 “f*ck I almost misspoke... out of excitement..” hahah
That log ride looks so fun.
Looks great, the last time I was there about 5 years ago, the animatronics were showing every single minute of their 45+ years of age.
I went on with the new logs they added, My knee got stuck! I was sitting in the very front of the 4 seaters and my knee kept getting stuck on the rubber part they added on there. I couldn't get out for a good minute or so! my knee was hurting for the rest of the day from how hard I was pulling to get my knee out since I was scared they would have to stop the ride just to help me out, which is stress-inducing. I love the ride but the new logs have barely any room now!
Honestly, I thought I'd miss Disneyland more when I moved from California to Texas, but I think I miss Knott's Berry Farm equally now. Thank you for posting this video on here.
No wonder nobody is at Galaxy's Edge. They're all at Knotts.
My little niece came to visit last week. We chose to go to knotts instead of Galaxy's edge. Heck, even I prefer knotts and I'm 22 years old and a huge star wars fan.
LOL!
Wow so I've been around longer than the log ride🤗. The last time I rode it was in 1980 went there for my Jr high graduation trip. The newest ride then was montazona's revenge.
Great video. Thank you for doing- I mean wooing what you do.
Wow awesome! I need to get to Cali to visit this very cool place. Great vlog Adam💙
Fun vlog Adam! Cannot believe that park has been open for 50 years! I must get over there one day.
I love Knotts Berry Farm. I actually prefer it to Disney land.
there is just something about Knotts that excites me. maybe its the rustic charm or the History of not just the thematic elements but of the park itself. every square inch of knotts has so much history and its exciting to me. I love the geode shop at knotts too, you can buy dinosaur fossils, megalodon teeth, minerals of types, etc. beats the cheap chinese made overpriced crap at disneyland
Knott's has more soul.
I remember going to Knott's when I was about 12. Having grown up in SoCal, I remember thinking that Knott's was just a regional poor man's competitor to Disneyland. Their jams were good though. But wow, I would have never guessed that Knott's log ride was actually older than Splash Mountain!
Greenboy28 🙀
The Calico Log Ride was the first of its kind. Every flume ride in every theme park throughout the world can trace its ancestry to the Log Ride.
Great ride was on it 50 year's ago the drop scared the hell out of my mother she never expected it.
What a cool ride!
You always have a good conversation with Sad Eye.😀
Thanks Adam, have a great evening! 👍
That's always my favorite "Sad Eye Joe" :).
Love the log ride! Happy Birthday Timber Mountain Log Ride!
The new seating arrangements were already there when I went to Knotts on July 6, 2019. I love riding the log ride at night. Anyways, great video! 👍
That was Awesome, Adam. Thanks for the ride-a-long :)
Thank you so much for your inspiration to get out and see what the states have to offer. Ive learned so much from your videos and i think you do an awesome job! Alot of people just walk past information and i like how you take the time to read and learn even more. Keep your head up and keep rockin away.
P.S. There are plenty of apartments and condos in Florence Kentucky :) and cheap gas prices!!!!
Hi Adam! Glad you are moving to Orange County! Everyone needs a place to call home! Take care!
Been about twenty years but I used to LOVE Knott's... the really nailed the atmosphere at that place
A great classic ride
Went to Knotts berry farm quite a bit when I grew up in Southern CA. This is great seeing the updates especially on the log ride, my favorite ride. I miss Knotts. Great vlog! Thank you 😊
I lived in Buena Park
Ment my wife.there started work at Knott's in 1987 in the maintaines shops left in 2008 22 years lots of fun.
I had a Hickory Burger at the Munch box for lunch today. Adam the Woo sent me.
Nice !
Looks at the man at 0:30: " _These new animatronics are more lifelike than ever._ "
Remember standing up right before the first drop and the automatic dad voice saying "SIT DOWN" very sternly. The majority of my teen years was spent sneaking in with my friends.
I remember going to Knotts Berry Farm back in 1662....Columbus insisted on it!!!!!!
Awesome I just went this past weekend always a fun time
I was in my Mommy's tummy just a couple miles away. I rode the log ride many times growing up .👍😊
Nice running into you today. I meant to tell you that Krazy Kirk and the Hillbillies recorded that music that you hear in there! I wish I had seen that guy who was giving out the old maps! But a manager liked my hat and gave me one of the Log Ride pins!!!! Good coverage. There was a lot of love for the Log Ride today! - Irene
I didn’t know kirk and hillbillies did . Very cool
I love log rides! I never been on this one. I’m really looking forward to conquering this one. Looks like it offers a ton more than most.
with out a doubt the log ride is incredible at Knotts Berry Farms
Based on yesterday's video, I was expecting to see Crispin Glover half way through this one.
Oh man !
You always have so much fun in your travels and I enjoy the experience in watching be safe😉
Glad you enjoy the videos
I've never been to Knott's. Definitely a bucket list place to visit.
Where do you live?? It's so much fun!!
@@QueenBeeBeautyXO Florida!
@@donnytucker Well, you have Disney in Orlando. Have you been to Disneyland? Knotts Berry farm is really fun tho.I have family in Hollywood, Florida.
@@QueenBeeBeautyXO I've been to WDW many times but never disneyland.
@@donnytucker Definitely have to come see Knotts Berry Farm!☺
Enjoyed this alot. Great job.
I was there for 4th of July, it was fun just really crowded
Adam I love it when you talk to Sad Eye. Its my favorite part of your Knotts videos. Heck Yes !
The log ride looks awesome!! The new animatronics look great. No trip to Knott’s is complete without a visit to sad eye joe. Next time I’m out that way I definitely want to stop by Knott’s
