Knott's bear-y tales ride through:

LV,
I remember the haunted shack from 1957, our first visit to KBF. It was like the appetizer to Disneyland, where we got one day in Knotts & one day (2 if we were lucky) in Disneyland every year till about '65 when I was 15. I remember panning for gold in Knotts where the guy would 'salt' your panning with a little gold dust right before he gave it back to you. Fond memories.

I was just suprised at the quality of the video on the Beary-tales ride. As I recall, that was very much a dark ride, so how he was able to get such good quality in the 1980's amazes me!

I could tell it was the 80's because the guy filming was doing a "take off to the great white north, eh" routine the whole time!

Watch out for the coyote, eh?
Didn't catch it the first time.
