Copyright date is 1980. The Poster for the Calico Mine Ride is behind me and the Ghost Town and Calico Railroad is steaming towards me dead ahead. Ahhh, the Old Time Knott's.

I remember how I sort of objected to the way it intruded on the Log ride's sight lines...Boy, if I'd known what Cedar Fair was going to do to the place I think I might have cried.Rich T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01218280822336323825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-82061838787988258242012-11-14T10:03:31.161-08:002012-11-14T10:03:31.161-08:00The pepper trees were a big part of my Knotts memo...The pepper trees were a big part of my Knotts memories.

I guess they don't want you to think that the park or it's attraction are "Old Timey" anymore. It's a very modernized park now with TGI Fridays and Panda Express. Oh, and attractions that will take you 30 stories into the air......and leave you there for 4 hours.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-5872479161890190972012-11-14T00:16:30.401-08:002012-11-14T00:16:30.401-08:00Yes, that's Montezooma's Revenge in the ba...Yes, that's Montezooma's Revenge in the background.
