ilostpod Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 On most likely the hottest day of the summer, my parents and I decided to visit Knoebel's since we had not been there in almost 4 years. Actually, I haven't been to any parks in quite a few years minus Walt Disney World and the occasional visit to SFGADv. Knoebel's is a place that we have been going to ever since half my relatives moved near Hazleton more then 10 years ago. For some weird reason, we never got around to visiting the park in the last few seasons so today's visit was something I looked foward to. I'm not going to post much in the way of words with the pictures (which aren't that great but oh well) so here it goes..... We hit up the pool first and stayed there until around 3pm, it definetly was not NEARLY as crowded as I had expected! As the day went on the crowds increased, but it was definetly a surprise in the lack of them overall. Following this we rode all the rides the park has to offer until about 7pm. The park was EMPTY with a total of 0 train waits on both Phoenix and Twister.....my kind of park! Visiting today shows why this park is honestly one of the best out there, it just puts everyone in a great mood. Just when I was giving Six Flag's credit to becoming better parks, Knoebel's puts them back in place. Skyride! ...too bad I forgot the camera when we first went on it so now "view" pictures. Swings!! I'm in there, green car closest to camera Relaxing walk across the water.... Exclusive! Still freaks me out after all these years Anothere EXCLUSIVE! (She's a wh*re) One of the better drops on a log flume, good times.... Flying Turns construction Part 1! Flying Turns construction Part 2! You wish you provided El Toro air! (J/K ....still awesome) I'm the master of the snap ....not at all really. Sweet curves Twister station! Sweet spinning roofs over restaraunt and the END! It's been a few years since I've been to the 'pole and it was oh so sweet to be back... PS ---> Twister definetly was a dissapointment .... What happened to this ride? It was never a ride I thought was amazing, but it was still always fun. Today it rode pretty bad and the train shuffled and shook a lot.
Token Yankee Guy Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 You missed me by two days. I was over at Knoebels on Monday for a couple of hours. Good TR
ECZenith Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Wow, they got alot done on Flying Turns since last I've seen it. That is one twisted little beast!
Ccron10 Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 That was strange I thought the Twister was a little rough too when I went last Monday. I was also a little upset that you couldn't buy a on-ride photo!
