Twister, 1999 Opened in 1999, the Twister “goes through swooping curves, a double helix, a dark tunnel and down several small and large hills for a surprisingly forceful and gripping experience!”
OF OUR HOMETOWN PARK By: Cindy O. Herman
Entrance Billboard The original entrance took guests straight through the park. In 1997, a new entrance was created with highway access and a stoplight at the lower end of the park.
Motor Boats, 1955 Guests have been steering their boats – and occasionally getting stuck crosswise – through Knoebels’ boat ride since 1955.
Dodgems, 1947 A historical marker at Knoebels reads, “The Dodgems were purchased by Lawrence Knoebel in 1947 and are considered to be the best bumper car ride in America today. Over the years the original cars have been replaced with Lusse SKOOTER cars while the Driving arena has been expanded.”
Skating Rink Operating from 1932 to 1985, Knoebels Skating Rink was a place for skaters from beginners to daredevils, and even some romantic gliders.
