    Back around 1975, my wife and I went to Knott's Berry Farm. They had a brand new roller coaster ride called "Cork Screw". By today's standards, it was pretty mild. But, the ending was anything but routine. I could smell the brakes. I knew that smell from my car. Anyway, as the ride was ending and we were approaching the load/unload platform, the brakes had almost no effect and we went flying past the platform at a pretty good speed. The look on the ride operator's face as we flew by was a clue that something wasn't right. Then we made a hard 180 degree right turn that took us to the long uphill ramp - again. Somehow, they figured out what happened and the brakes actually worked on our second approach to the platform. As we were disembarking, the operator then announced, "thank-you for riding the Cork Screw TWICE tonight!"

    Ghostrider was always my favorite ride at Knotts since I was a kid. Unfortunately I've always been a bigger guy. And the last time I went to the park which was quite a while ago now since I don't live near there anymore I couldn't fit on it unfortunately. The divider in the seat to separate riders was too small. But I will always have my memories, and now this video to look back on.

      Walt Disney wasn't influenced by Walter Knott.
      Knott's Berry Farm didn't become an amusement park until the late 1960's and early 1970's.
      Walt Disney died in 1966.
