We could all use some trips. Be nice also to meet other people that enjoy the same things we all do here. Thanks Eldon for working hard to make it happen. So love how this channel is growing.

    Not sure what happened to the 9:30 show time, I think they forgot to put it up because there was definitely a 9:30 show.
    This lighter night of crowds looked more than the Xmas Eve Holiday in the Park crowds. Definitely been even busier than what you saw :)

    Loved the "I'm so freaking cold sweater!" That's me everyday! Lol, Thanks for the video today, last time I was there was 2023 for the 4th of July fireworks but the park was so packed so we watched the show from out back, great view of the fireworks. Favorite ride years ago was the stand up roller coaster. I wish I could have made it to winterfest. Thanks again for the tour. If I have more ideas for you this year, I'll let you know.👍☃️

    It sucks, because I use the events as an excuse to take a train ride up there and use my Knotts Prestige Pass a few times a year. I never did the haunt there, but I did Tricks and Treats the last 2 years. Sadly, my Halloween and Christmas trips up their fell thru and I didn't get to go to them this year...and then the news they are not doing them this year now...
    Still haven't heard anything about the rumored talks of moving Discovery Kingdom to Fresno. There was a big buzz, stories on the news about the mayor showing then Six Flags company 2 very large plots of land available as well as a few other "investor groups". Haven't heard anything at all in about a year now, since then...
