First of all, primogen18, do you work in Knoebels? If so, that's awesome. |
Well, Unnoficially, haha (like the wendy's guy, you can see me handing out Knoebels brochures, maps, and such at your local SF park!) But nah, I was thinking about it, and I should, but I live too far away. And they do have a tagling, its the Wally World tagline lol from NL Vacation, "America's Favorite Family Funpark!", as seen on the banners hanging along the main midway when you enter.

Hey, wait, I love that movie! That is the funniest movie in all of cinema. And I still think my tagline is better .

I LOVE your tagline, Knoebels - that would be a perfect bumper sticker!!! Here's the ultimate question for you all - if you could work at Knoebels doing any job whatsoever, what would you do? As for me, I'd have to say working in the band organ shop - I'd really, really love to learn more about how those things run.

I would probably work as a ride op for Twister or Phoenix, or work in any store, maybe that hat one by Flume or the Twister Souvenir Shop .

Ever wonder what happens when your seatbelt is nonfunctional on the Skooters at Knoebels? I don't think you want to.

The coaster ops at Knoebels always seem to be having a good time - just look at Ron, at the High Speed Thrill Coaster - now, there's a man who loves his work!

How do you get to know there names!?!  Anyways, operating the flume must be pretty cool, all the way up there and all.  Though, I wouldn't like to be up there in bad weather.

I only know Ron's name because he's such a character - a really, really cool dude. I made a point of looking at his name tag - I wanted to thank him on a first-name basis after the ride. Awesome guy.

Cool. When does he work there? Because when I went, there was this older guy and he didn't really seem to be really enthused about it.

All I can say is that the times I saw him, it was just around closing time. He's kind of skinny, and has white hair (I think). He wears black gloves - if you see him, you'll know. His total zest for life is very contagious.

Is he old, young, or middle-age? He sounds like a really cool ride op. Actually, I got into a conversation with a Phoenix ride op on Dick Knoebels' "saving" skills for roller coasters. We got so into it, he had to remind me to board the ride !

Actually, I thought that would be kinda boring, since whenever I get to that point, I see them reading a book or talking to a fellow ride op down in the lower station. It seems kinda boring (as I said before) but hey, whatever trips your trigger.

Hey- as I posted in another thread, I am really dying to go to Knoebels, and was thinking of possibly adding it to my 04' parks to visit. I know the first thing my parents would ask is how far away it is from us; that's a huge factor. So- anyone have a general idea of how far from the Ohio-PA border Knoebels is? Is it in central, western, or eastern PA? Thanks!

Mostly Eastern PA. It's located by Easton, in this litle town called Elysburg. I'd say it's a good hundred-two hundred miles from the Ohio border. Yeah, it sounds long, and that's 'cause from Ohio, it is long.

Actually, I was kidding. Do you know how when someone does something cool they go"Go me, it's my b-day, go me, it's my b-day." Well, that's what I was doing cause I was close on the mileage.
