Between Shawn’s screams of joy and Charlotte’s face of mad shock and horror whilst they rode Phoenix is probably my favorite TPW moment ever. 😀❤️😂
It was a brilliant moment!
It sure was!
I put my 58 year old mother on Phoenix and she made the same face. she also needed to sit down after Impluse, and you bet your behind we bought that photo ahahhaaha

It's so great to see your excitement at my local amusement park. I grew up only 20 minutes from Knoebels! It's wonderful to see the park receive the recognition it deserves!
Pennsylvania has probably the best collection of amusement parks in the United States.
Same with Ohio, Florida, and California. :)
There’s some brilliant parks here!
Best independent parks in the US 100% for me Ohio still tops it with both top tier cedar fair parks within driving distance👍
I am SO fortunate to live about 30 min from Hersheypark! I've been going since I was a kid, and the boyfriend and I often go to the park for a few hours after work in the summer since we have season passes!
@FigureSkatingBeauty I live in Cortland, NY. So I still have to drive at least 3 hours if I want to go to Hersheypark.
Loving the USA trip so mutch already
Thank you. We’re loving it so far!
Charlottes face at 8:55 is brilliant!
honestly 🤣🤣
Never heard of Knoebel’s before, but it’s definitely on the list now - seems like a great independent park that really takes pride in its rides and values its uniqueness.
It’s a beautiful place
Oh Charlotte had me in stitches when you both went on the Phoenix ride as her face looked so shocked of how fast it was going, I couldn’t stop laughing. Good old Charlotte ♥️♥️
We have been going to Knoebels for over 35 years and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Your commentary and enthusiasm from both of you really captured Knoebels. It makes me want to jump in the car and go there. Thank you for bringing this video to us. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Continued safe travels and enjoy life at these beautiful parks!
Fun fact, the reason why you have to pay extra for the haunted mansion is so that kids won’t get bored, climb out of the cars and vandalize the attraction. That’s why unlike so many other classic dark rides around the US there’s no chicken wire.
“We’ve got some more ‘wood’ to be riding Charlotte” 🙈🤣
5 out of 5 for just pronouncing the parks name correctly 😂
thank you for the marathon of travel and park videos you are throwing at us here! so much respect! it is so much work!
Thank you so much!
The world needs more parks loke this. Feels like it would be a great visit even without going on the rides.
If you guys missed the Bumper Cars, you need to make sure you try them out next time. They're old-fashioned cars that really slide around--always leaves a smile on your face!
Everything is always 50 times better in USA, they know how to make everything bigger, bolder and better! 🇺🇸 wish the uk would follow in there footsteps
Shawn and Charlotte,
Being Family owned and and having home made and
classic rides makes this park really feel non-commercial,
here it'd not only about the money.
I'm so happy you both had great weather and a really good time
AND, it's only day2!!!!
Cheers,
Rik
Knoebels being described as "proper American" hit it right on the money! I live about an hour and a half from the park and unfortunately didn't get to go until my teen years! I love it so much, though, and especially enjoy bringing the kids' grandparents since it's free parking and admission. So happy you enjoyed the park so much!
We loved it!
This park looks great and truely special. Never having been to the US, this one appeals to me so much more than anything Six Flags has to offer. To me it even looks like I would enjoy my time there more than Sea World, Universal or the Cedar Fair parks. Ride line up is only a secondary concern to me and it's more a about how the park atmosphere feels.
Six Flags is a run by a bunch of MBA's. They are excellent at extracting value from their guests, but really crappy at creating value for their guests.
Well here is the thing where they are at now in Pennsylvania, my home. They are literally in a mecca of theme parks within decent driving distance. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, one of the flagship parks of Six Flags, Dorny Park, cedar fair Park ( its kinda meh ), Hersheypark. In my opinion one of the best line up of coasters in the US. All these parks are within about and hour or so drive from eachother. We have alot within this region.
We love it here
@@brybryguy6314 PA also has to have one of the best collections of historic flat rides anywhere.
0:16 Knoebels is the American Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
*CHANGE MY MIND*
Hello Charlotte!!! I love your enthusiasm and big smile. You and Sean have seen so much around the world. The fact that you both still get so excited for these US Parks is a true delight!!
Great vlog! Charlotte’s face at 8:55 had me and my mum in stitches 🤣 she’s so adorable lmao!
Those are some pretty inventive coasters. I'd say that enthusiastic guy waving his arms about on Phoenix like a maniac was enjoying himself. XD
You'll never beat your 2019 pov of phoenix when that guy stood up going down the first drop. Has to be one of my most rewatched theme park worldwide moments, comedy gold 😆
It was crazy!
As soon as I saw impulse I thought "nice bit of gerst steak"...to be told its not a gerstlauer blew my mind! Love the feel of this iconic park & Benjamin in front of you on Phoenix certainly knows how to ride a coaster! 👍 😆
It’s a great ride and so much smoother!
think you mean 'Gerst-Ache' 😄 🤣
@@souldiscovery1238 no no...I mean gerst steak! That's what I call it anyway. 😆
I’ve been going to Knoebels since I was born. I’m a little spoiled living about a hour away. I love that you guys are showing it off & enjoying the park!!!
It’s such a special park
The Phoenix was my childhood coaster back in its original location in San Antonio in the 1970s. I first rode it on my 6th birthday before the days of height restrictions. My older sister panicked thinking I was going to fly out and put her arm around me after the first airtime hill. I, on the other hand, had the time of my life and instantly became a coaster addict. I was12 when it closed, and for me its closing came to represent the end of my childhood. I've truly never ridden another coaster that comes close to it.
Thanks for sharing your memories!
I rode that wooden roller coaster during its last year of operation in San Antonio in 1980. I love knowing that people are still riding it and that, it is even famous now. My favorite coaster ever, since I can't do spinning and twisting rides due to the motion. Thanks for featuring it.
Absolute perfect example to any park why it is so important to allow POVs to established Theme pqrk channels. Its makes it 100x more enjoyable and 1000x more watchable. Nothing duller than listening to someone explain how good the ride was with no pov. Watch qnd learn Merlin!!!!
It’s always great when parks allow on ride filming with the correct equipment!
Here is a fun fact about Twister
It's modeled after the original Mr Twister here in Denver at the original Elitch Gardens. It even had a golden bolt on display from the original! We have a version of it still at present-day Elitch Gardens but much less taken care of. I definitely liked Knobles Twister better and it was a unique experience riding this after growing up on Twister II
Thanks for sharing!
lol @ Charlotte's face on the woody 🤣
i can remember back in the late '70s when the Blackpool Grand National had only handbars - we used to put our bags and rucksacks in the car with us and so our legs were bent under the seats holding them in - once when going over thr bunny hops the seat lifted up and got disjointed through to the end of the ride ...
Thank you for sharing your experience with Knoebels! I grew up 20 minutes away and you brought back so much nostalgia for me while watching this video. Thanks for sharing it and your enthusiasm for the park!
It's the why'm i doing this this bit that gets me..aaaahhhhh as it drops down
It's a tradition for me to go every year to knowbles its my favorite part of the summer
Im 47 & live in Delaware. We had a cabin near here in the family when i was growing up. Now my kids grew up here. Our daughter's are 25 & 26..but our son is 9 yrs old & has been here twice a year since he was born. My parent's take him & they stay at the camp ground in a cabin. Or what Knoebels calls a cabin 😂😂😂. This brought me back. We would get a bracelet to ride all we could & we'd go from i think like afternoon til evening. The only place we could roam around & meet up w our family & nothing bad happened. Not sure w the way of the world if that's possible anymore. We'd have to meet up every hour just to make sure we were ok! Phoenix was my favorite ❤ The food was delicious! Pierogies..Fries & Ice Cream were our faves. We are going to take our Grandson who will be 6 next year. Great video. I subscribed. Can't wait to see your adventures ❤
Thank you!
This looks like a park I really want to get to now. I love these smaller parks with old school perks and a great feel to it. It kind of reminds me of when I went to Holiday World last year which has free parking and free soda. This takes it even further with free admission and located literally right in the middle of a neighborhood.
We loved it here!
Twister is definitely my favorite so far this road trip!!!
Hi shawn and Charlotte Wow what a beautiful park. I remember when you came last time shawn. Love the heritage of the park it's lovely to see. Thanks for sharing this wonderful Park with us. I'm so pleased Charlotte enjoyed it as well. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Thanks for joining us!
We’res my seatbelt ? There isn’t one Charlotte 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant 😂
I love these US parks that don't have such a higher profile as the familiar names/brands. My kind of place for sure. Adored the Fries 🍟 Hat 😂
I love this park.
It certainly breaks the mold when it comes to amusement parks.
Having P.O.V 's makes for good entertainment as we can see yours and Charlotte's expressions.
Keep those vlogs coming .
❤❤
We loved it!
This park is amazing
A great value for a family especially if some members don’t go on rides.
Yes, Knoebels is an awesome retirement home for classic, vintage and rare amusement park rides, many which are "Best in The Country". A Rock-O-Plane and a flying coaster (Kennywood Kangaroo like) flat ride are rumored to be in storage waiting to be resurrected in the future.
We loved it!
Twister's 2 lift hills actually use the same chain too. Pretty cool. Only a couple out there that do that. Another enjoyable video as always Shaun.
Brilliant!
Flying turns, Phoenix, and twister look amazing and they would be something I would want to go on if I had the chance. Can’t wait for Hershey Park tomorrow guys!
We love this classic park!
That bobsled ride makes me miss the Bob in Efteling. Such a fun ride!
Looks a stunning charming park, especially the flying turns ride.
It’s such a great park!
Another great vlog guys. Enjoying the journey with you. The award for best line certainly goes to Charlotte 🤣😂
Thank you!
What a fantastic park , I'd even say my favourite so far ,so the rest your visiting will be judged against this one. Such a nice location and the museum was impressive , as you said all theme parks etc should have something similar . The woodies always impress me at these american parks , such vast structures and so impressive to see . Glad the food was good and fairly priced , makes a nice change to see. So far so good 👍 cant wait to see the next park 😁
Thanks for watching!
What blows my mind about the Haunted Mansion is just how simple everything is. The truck is actually just a vent cover and some lights. But it really looks like a truck is about to hit you. Same goes for the little monster in the oven. I believe his eye was made out of a football! And they brought back the skeleton mirror room after removing it a few years back. It’s in a different location now, but it’s so cool they brought back a fan favorite for the ride’s 50th anniversary. Glad you are enjoying your trip and thanks for sharing!
52:17 The lady, going up the drop tower, “oh, sugar!” Gotta love it. Feel like, you’d only hear that in that part of the country! 😂 And she has a friendly chat with Shawn! 😂
What a wonderful looking park this is. That indoor caterpillar ride took me right back to childhood fairground trips. Love the look of everything about this place. Your vlogs always give us trip inspiration and ideas. Knoebells is firmly added to the list.
Same, the TPW trips have given me and my boyfriend so many tips and ideas for trips!
One of my favorite things about Knoebels other than their fantastic lineup of classic coasters and the free parking/admission, they encourage you to bring your furry friends! (As long as you clean up after them and they are people and other pup friendly) I love that about this park and how you're able to bring them on the trains in the park! It's definitely a unique one-of-a-kind park who is dedicated to its historic routes and to its patrons! Can't wait to head back hopefully sometime this summer!
I'm really glad that you guys had a good time. It's such an overlooked park. Also it's good to know that people visiting from other countries look at parks that we have here in the same manner that I look at parks that are found in other countries, which is with a sense of awe and adventure .
If you're ever able to come here to the states once more, please let me know, because if you love classic haunted houses/ghost trains then you need to ride Trimpers Haunted House in Maryland and another haunted mansion in Delaware, which happens to be a 30 minute drive from each other. And Trimpers is not just older than Knoebels, but it's also longer and in my opinion better as well. The Haunted Mansion in Delaware is just as good as Knoebels! Haunted Mansion . I'll even give you room and board over a weekend. I'm being 100% serious with you
P.S. I've been having a pretty difficult time today but after I finished this video moments ago it helped me pull out of a nose dive and for that I just wanted to say THANKs friends!
Thank you!
Wauw knoebels I am surprise this is amazing park it's one of my favorite parks after watch this video ❤ greetings from Belgium pennsylvania and ofcourse shawn and charlotte for this amazing good video from Knoebels ❤❤❤
At last - on ride filming. It makes such difference to my enjoyment of your videos.
Loved the video, got a good selection of attractions at this park, especially Flying Turns as got reminded of rollercoaster type on RCT3. Remember as a kid loving to build wooden crazy bobsleigh coasters which was fun, going down drops very quickly and round turns & upside down very fast & quick speeds. Fun that was. Think Dreamland Margate aswell other UK Amusement parks could take inspiration from USA parks? Especially on caterpillar indoors with disco lights and music playing. That would be an epic experience I think at a UK park? Blackpool especially, would love to see a wooden bobsleigh coaster in UK at some point in future? Would be a good ride addition especially at Dreamland Margate, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Great Yarmouth if expanded might be a good idea? or maybe Southend on Sea as they could build their own one or wooden coaster? But nice vlog, really enjoyed. Look forward to next videos coming up in future. 😀👍
8:53 - Charlottes face 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant 😂
You need to stand on the bridge to give us the full water effect. 🤣
lovely to be watching you guys again on your trip. Have a great one. knoebels looks everything you imagine an American amusement park to be. It really does look like the perfect family day out with a really good mix.
It’s such a beautiful park
I’m visiting Knoebels later this year, so excited!
One of the craziest rides I have ever had on a coaster was Twister at night in the pitch black and it was raining. The coaster was absolutely hauling. The whole ride was a blur but absolutely amazing. It speeds up a LOT in the evening. The Larson drop tower at Knoebels is really great too. They are my favorite drop tower manufacturer.
Twister is brilliant!
I absolutely loved seeing this incredibly beautiful park. I loved all its history and heritage and the setting was spectacular. I wpuld really love to visit here one day. A wonderful place, a real gem. Thank you for taking us along. Have a great time on the rest of your trip!
Thanks for watching!
2:43 I two absolutely love the can-do attitude of the sign. Like whom needs truckloads of money to have a good time. Give me a hill, couple of two by fours and some shopping cartwheels.🤣🤣😎😎 .
This park looks amazing! Been wanting to go. Looks like reputation for Phoenix is warranted. Loving the trip! Keep up the excellent vlogs.
It’s a great park!
I want to visit Knoebels more than anywhere else.
Loving this trip already & only 2 days in. Thanks for an awesome vlog with all the povs. Absolutely loved twister looking epic. Can’t wait for the next one. Be safe much love Lisa❤
Thank you!
The phoenix was there before the antique cars by around 5 years or so. I went to knoebles in May and the Phoenix and Twister both felt better than the year before I really like the park because it’s so laid back. I also like how they have a lot of wooden coasters,
Thanks for sharing!
Great seeing all of the POVs of the rides ❤
It was great to be able to film on ride!
Looks like such a nice park and it has some awsome coasters. Its great to see a park that cares so much about their history and showcase it at the park.
Used to love the whip at Blackpool pleasure beach, gutted when they closed that and the turtle chase
You can hear the Berni 107 Organ playing on the Carousel 53:41
I'm loving this series! What a beautiful traditional old American style park,really beautiful!
Thank you for joining us!
This park is really really special, phoenix looks incredible! This trip is amazing already!
Thank you!
amazing vlog,,great to see your both loving it,,cant wait for the next one
Love love love the vlogs from the trip so far! So fun to watch you guys explore parks I've actually been to! Can't wait to follow the rest of the trip and especially the vlogs from my home park (Six Flags Great America) and my home park growing up (Adventureland in Iowa). Hope you have the best time in the US and hope the weather stays fabulous for you!
Thank you!
Welcome to the USA! Never miss a video. Love your content no matter where you go
Thank you!
I'm absolutely loving following your trip ...so much fun and entertaining to watch. Can't wait for the next one xx
Thank you!
Such great vlogs already guys. Cannot wait to see more across the trip.
I had to chuckle when you said "The wild wild West" about the Black Diamond. It's actually based off of the Pennsylvania coal mines and it's supposed to be like a haunted coal mine kind of thing because there were a lot of deaths in the coal mines!!
Although, I guess, to y'all it IS the wild wild west 😂
I live nearby and we really are lucky to have such a nice park...You can enter the park for free and bring your own food and picnic. Rides are a bit pricey and the weekends are very crowded but you can walk around without spending any money. Parking is free too.
What an amazing location for a park. It looks like such a fun park as well it is also good that they let you film on ride
Love to see you two enjoy the parks and the big USA trip .Love to see the flogs of the amazing Coasters and Parks ....Enjoy youre trip like I enjoy your movies and info ....greetings from Holland
Thank you!
We love Knoebels! It's not quite local, but worth the drive. This is what most US amusement parks were like 50 or 60 years ago or so.
Flying Turns so unique what a ride, Twister absolutely awesome for a wooden coaster and Impulse the steel coaster a great ride. Beautifully laid out park where you can come and go at will. Nice vlog.
My fave amusement park!
The Black Diamond was my childhood on the Wildwood Boardwalk here in NJ... it was called The Golden Nugget!! Knoebels gave it a new home & it makes me smile!!! 😊
I'm 43 & still terrified each time I ride the Haunted Mansion 🤣🤣
It’s a great ride!
This park looks really amazing. Glad you had a good day. xx
This is now on my bucket list! Looks so much fun and such a beautiful park
I will never forget the joy and horror from watching you guys ride the Pheonix 🤣 I could feel the airtime, bums off seats all the way from here 🤣 another great video!
If you ever make it back again, you really really really gotta go on the flyers. It's the best ride in the park believe it or not!
Somehow it wasn't even shown in either of the vlogs lol
Great vlog! Always fun to see new reactions to my favorite park.Charlottes face after the Phoenix was awesome
What a great vlog! You’re really enjoying this adventure and thank you for sharing!
Ha OMG Charlottes face on Phoenix
Twister reminds me of something i build on coaster concept craft 2 😂
Charlotte looked genuinely terrified on Phoenix 😂🤣. Its such a great park. The rides are all on the top of the list. Best Woodie, Best Carousel, Best Dark Ride, Best Bumper Cars...Best food. Its the antithesis of the corporate park. Prices are reasonable. The staff is also exceptional, and the family that owns it is there all the time. And Kennywood no longer has their Bayern Kurve sadly. Enjoy your time here in the colonies!
We loved it!
An indoor music express that's cool.
Brilliant vlog. Thank you so much. Love watching them. You must work so hard to prepare for these tours away. The history of the rides and parks makes it even more fantastic to watch.
Thank you!
8:54 Bless Charlotte; she looked petrified.
A truly world class amusement park is Knoebles. Twister had a retrack during the close season. Best its been riding in many years I've heard.
It’s a brilliant ride
❤ Knowles you guys did awesome
Living the dream guys, a month riding coasters in the sunshine; I can think of worse jobs lol. Nice to see the POV's too, enjoy.
Thank you!
