Black Diamond At Knoebels Lights On Mounted POV
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2015
- This PTC (Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, Inc.) enclosed coaster is themed around the local mining industry, with a spooky twist. The coaster was originally known as Golden Nugget at Dinosaur Beach on the Jersey Shore and was a childhood favorite of Richard Knoebel's sons.
Knoebels Amusement Resort is located in Elysburg, Pennsylvania.
definitely had less or different braking on the two drops when it was Golden Nugget; you can see on videos from that era how much faster the carts took those big curves below both big drops. Particularly fun because as GN, that first drop led to a 180 curve precariously dangled outside the ride enclosure.
This was a classic Hunt's Pier ride back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's in Wildwood. So much has changed since it was transported to Knoebels, but I like the way they renovated the ride in an effort to keep the Golden Nugget spirit alive.
Yeah....I miss the screeching around the outside turns, the open top to view the beach......loved that ride since I was a kid.
It’s awesome at least parts of it survived
My family used to go to Wildwood every summer in the mid- 1970s. This ride on Hunt’s Pier is honestly what got me interested in exploring abandoned mines. I also like haunted houses, and the Whacky Shack
which was located across the pier from this ride was another big influence on me. “Watch the tram car please!”
Can you imagine how unbelievably rough this would be if it went any faster?
It used to be much faster when it was the Golden Nugget in WWNJ
There were actually some times when it went faster. Occasionally the slowdown and speedup motors located at various points along the track would break. When they broke, the car would either stop or simply increase speed, partly due to the motor being broken and partly due to the downward slope of the track. We would have to shut the ride down while the mechanic replaced the motor (he had plenty of them ready to go). About a 15-20 minute process.
They should give people a chance to ride with the lights on, have certain times of the years when the lights are on.
A fascinating peek behind the curtain. It's not every day that people get a chance to see something like this. Thank you!
TralfazConstruction thank you!!!
@@OneWheelProductionsInc You're very welcome. Very interesting video.
TralfazConstruction check out the lighted multi angle. You see the props better..
its weird how this ride is acctually kind of scary
How can 74 people have missed the like button? Great ride and a throw back to a time lost.
batman94 haters, seriously.
Originally it was the Golden Nugget at Hunts Pier in Wildwood New Jersey many years ago. Then it sat vacant for years until the pier was reopened as Dinosaur Beach until that pier closed. Many childhood memories at Hunts Pier.
Decrepit Chef it's in the description.
I dont see the part about Hunts pier.
Decrepit Chef I'll add it later.
Thats cool. Love the video. Love Knoebles. My family goes there often. I subscribed to your channel.
Decrepit Chef you're the best!! Make sure to check out the multiple Angle pov for Black Diamond. Grab some Red/Blue 3D glasses for the 3-D versions too.
I love Knoebels SO much
ItsAddison Siwa Dawson We do too!!
OneWheelProductions I've been going there since I was a baby I remember almost everything the only thing I want to forget is when my cousin got lost but we found her I was probably six so she was five but everything about Knoebels is awesome!
I am so glad I found this video. I used to ride this every summer when it was the Golden Nugget in Wildwood. Watching this, I could almost feel as though I was back riding it with my sister, laughing away, with my mom waiting for us outside. Begging to ride it one more time. Then heading over to the Keystone Kops. Good memories!
I have been on this ride a few times, but seeing it with the lights on gives a different perspective. Thanks for posting!
Watch the Multi angle POV for great views of the scenes. Thank you for the kind words!!!
also take a look at the Haunted Mansion withe the lights on. There’s more to see than riding the ride as it’s usually way.
Good attempt at a Disney type theme ride. I like that it comes out of a gate at the side at the end. I remember my brother and I at the haunted house ride at Seaside Heights, NJ waiting in line by the gate where the ride ends trying to tell if people like the ride or not or shouting "How was it?"
This is pretty cool, didn't realize a lights on POV for this one existed till I came across yours.
+Cr4z3d Somehow feels like an RCT3 onride, lol.
Not quite sure how it feels like an RCT3 onride, haha.
PandaCoasters Something about the FOV/angle.
Thank you!!!
Looks like a cool ride! Reminds me of the blazing fury at dollywood a little bit
Well, you just earned a subscriber! Love the video and the ride looks amazing!
just about to get on!
I'm even scared of the flume, I went on it before and I cried
I rode this ride when it was on Hunt's Pier in Wildwood; N.J. GREAT Ride.
This is cool! Different perspective!
You dont realise how well kept this ride is until the lights are on , WD nice video
Watch the Multi-angle POV. Much better. And the 3D!!
Wow, what a long ride!
Tbh I was terrified of this ride as a kid because of the animatronics
Loved this since I always wanted to see a haunted ride with the lights on. I also always wanted to climb out of the car and now I see I won't ever be doing that.
I only like this ride because its mining themed me being from schuylkill county I am a coal miner myself and its really unique having the coal mining theme
Retro-_Reverse, search up Gold Mine at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Growing up in the 80's I went to Knoebel's every year with my grandparents for the 4th of July weekend. Had this ride been around at that time, it would have scared the crap out of me. I was terrified by the idea of the Centralia mine fire.
Enjoy it while you can. The Democrats want to shut it down and turn it into a green energy walk through. It will cost three times the current admission price, and the scenes will consist of trending woke themes. The animated figures will be battery operated, and the whole ride will need an 18 hour recharging window, but only if the Sun is out to shine on the solar panels.
Did anyone see the person at 4:21
Yes looks like a kid
Fun but wish it had more speed
Try Blazing Fury at Dollywood! Not super fast BUT there's a LOT of dips turns and huge drop at the end!
Saxon Webb I went to dolly wood not to long ago and your right
Aaron Merkel it's not as bad as the flying turns
@@SexySaxon I know I'm late, but "Fire in the Hole" at Silver Dollar City
Wow. A wonderfully well designed ride and beautifully photographed. Thanks. Loved every second.
Mike Jardin it’s a great one!!! Watch the multi angle. Better views of the props.
I have been on this ride multiple times and it looks totally different with light off😂
Kayla Steffen yep,
Make sure you watch the multi angle version of this ride.
Thats a awesome ride.......long
I love this ride. I go on it every time I go to knoebles
We do too!! :)
Amazing Funny Ride. Would love to ride it one day ba myself!!!! Maxx
Are you scared yet? IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU, TRESPASSERS!
I wished I liked this ride more. Being local to the area, I've ridden the ride several times and it does not impress me for the whopping price they charge for it. Anyways, nice video!
+Emma Dailey I love it, but I think it's a little too short
+Emma Dailey Thank you!!!
OneWheelProductions can you please sub me, and i'll sub you back
+Joshua Bashore I'm surprised you didn't beg me to go on it on Friday.
+Joshua Bashore just subd awesome videos
This is somehow better than most of the dark rides at Dubai.
I agree!
Fantastic way to view a dark ride thanks .
Mark Mccormack check out the multi angle POV.
Who let the haunted mansion and big thunder mountain have a baby.
Nice long and interesting ride. Seems that no expense was spared with the displays. Blackpool. UK, had something similar but shorter and now re-adapted as a rather silly children's ride, Wallace and Grommet.
Robert Price Hey I love Nick Parks stuff!!! I’d love to ride a W&G themed ride. :)
It was called The Gold Mine
It's far from a silly ride. W&G is one of the best dark rides in the UK. Much better than the gold mine
The only thing that has ever bothered me with this park is the almost themed rides. There are so many places where with some more work you could really take it over the top. You could build this rides theme out with foam concrete and really make it feel like an underground coal mine. But it feels a little cheesy. The haunted house is the same way. As is the log flume. There is a certain slight lack to the theme and where it is heavy it sort of looks like kids did it.
Knoebels has my heart for life. But they really need to work on their immersion.
My dad went on this and so did his friend and my sister, I'm too scared tho :
I LOVE ❤️ Knobles/ KENNYWOOD and HERSHEYPARK
Us too!!!
I love this ride
so cool what a neat ride!
CPM Personal definitely unique.
MY FAVORITE RIDE AT HUNTS PIER WAS THE GOLDEN NUGGET SHAFT RIDE AND IT KILLED ME TO SEE IT SIT ROTTING YEARS LATER ON THE SAME PIER. THIS RIDE HAD TO BE PATTERNED AFTER THE GOLDEN NUGGET.
This ride is the Golden Nugget. Knoebles purchased the track and used it to build Black Diamond.
Greetings! I am working on a video about the Scariest Dark rides. May I use this footage and give your channel full credit?
Sure, check out the multi angle one too, some better shots of the props on that one.
I seriously have been going to K'noebels for 4 years now and I have never been on this ride...😢
Me either! Im going there tomorrow so I'm looking for it lol
I though it was a big roller coaster but it’s not what was I thinking I’m so dumb
@@JuntifyEntertainment it actually is
That looks like a cool ride
sean kratz Check our the multi angle POV for more details of the props.
If you grew up learning about coal mines, this ride is scary as shit
capt_toad7890 the museum next door is awesome!!
It's nice that they saved it but nothing was like the original in Wildwood, NJ from 1960. Still nice however.
So I am not personally a fan of roller coasters or many rides in general. My company had a family day at Knoebels and I wanted to enjoy myself. I looked at the rides they offered and decided this would be a good one (mind you I haven't been an amusement park since I was 11 and I'm 23) I went on it, loved it, however the last teeny tiny dip freaked me out so much I just about peed myself!
Thats great!!!!! What other rides did you enjoy?
this is great great GREAT
+Joshua Bashore Thanks!!!
Just subd you
I was so really scared but it was so very creepy and stuff and also i was on that ride with Preston Koch
whats with the water at the end of their rides the haunted manision is like that too
No idea lol!
andrew e Old dark ride gag, just when it looks like you're going to get soaked, the water shuts off completely. Sometimes you do still get a few drops on you tho, haha.
Actualy the Haunted Mansion's reason behind the water falling before u exit is an overflow thing most of the time water gets stuck up there so they need a way to dump it and thats there cheap way of doing it
It's more like a haunted house tbh, but it seems fun. Also, do you need a pass? If so, which pass?
I wonder if the staff ever ride it with trims off.. it would be so much fun.
this ride is cool i like it
Brett Hanson it sure is!!!
I wouldn't wait in line for that.
Gr8fulDead69 the sets and props are what sets this attraction apart. You get a better view and appreciation of them in the multi-angle POV.
+OneWheelProductions, that's fair. I didn't take that into account.
i never wait in line at any park i go to i always get the pass so i can avoid the lines
Tbh the past few times i’ve been at the park this attraction had no line
The video actually made me feel a little upset : / I think it's less magical
But!!! Konobels was stupid for not putting enough light on half the things that happen on the ride on the ride I didn't notice half the Easter eggs
Watch the Multi-Angle POV.
I cried on this and I’m in 6th grade ;-;
Watashi Anime666 ME TOO
What did you say to them for them to turn on the lights? or is it like you work there or something? Btw, when I went they weren't allowing anyone to record at all, any explanation?
No one is allowed to film during daily operations. This was done with the PR dept, and done on off hours.
+OneWheelProductions Ok, thanks for answering and for clearing things up for me.
This ride reminds me of stranger things a little
cool, you seemed like a nice guy and I like the channel
+SK Phone yeah we had some problems with or third admin. He's no longer with us. Thanks for staying!! We love ya for it!!!
this is the only POV of black diamond i have seen so far >_
Hays Coleman Check out our lights on multi-angle POV for better views of the props and scenes.
Strange, as you sort of expect it to pick up but it never does
reformedfruit it’s still a visual ride, speed would take away from the props.
This is good enough for young kids to go on.
Wish it didnt have those trim brakes on the drop
I hear ya.
Do they have a version with the lights out? That's what ruined it
There is a lights out one available.
I think I will go on that ride again in knoebels I will be Ok with this ride
what a weird ride
I definitely could’ve done that
I hope this place has a good sprinkler system because it looks like fire trap!
I’m sure it meets all modern US safety codes. It’s not 1985. In New Jersey.
What a cool ride.
Watch the Multi angle POV.
This is like 3x as long as the Whacky Shack at Waldameer Park Erie PA.
What a weird pro mining ride that was
So the fire under the town with the collapsing house is pro-mining????
We went on that when I was like 7 I hated anything fast or things that have drops and stuff and I still do my gram parents and my parents wanted to go on it and I didn't at all so when we were getting on they kept saying it was a cho cho ride (train ride) even the people who were controlling the ride I believed it than I had to go through all of it and came out crying but I still hate those rides
Best Rollercoaster EVER!!!
Its good, but great?
Neither, the BEST. Honestly was the most anti-climatic POV coaster ride I've participated in. I kept thinking it's going to be nuts in the next second, just to be defeated. I loved it!
raoul duke lll lol watch the multi angle pov.
If this is a roller coaster, then the Haunted Mansion in Disney World is also a roller coaster....
Anyone see the kid walking on the left at 4:21?
que buen juego mortal
Long ride.
Nothing all like it was in Wildwood. Looks pretty boring to me. Such a shame it was my favorite ride.
I didn’t ride it at Wildwood. I’ll never know, but themed to the local mining industry in Pennsylvania makes sense to me.
Wait is it supposed to scray? I never been on the ride
Catherine Slocum I’d say more a history of PA mining.
Not scary, just very interesting. It's officially classified as a dark ride, not a haunted attraction.
This is like new York play lands ye old mill ride
Little skelly Bones as much as I like the Ol Mill, this is way better than that. Ol mill is in boats for one. :)
This is like a rollercoaster/darkride/trip to hell
Andrew Yates You get better views on the Multi Camera POV we have. Check it out.
いきたいですよね
Bizarre
Was better when it was The Golden Nugget
Suks , big time !
del trotts Why? Compared to what attraction?
The roller coaster that wasn't
Perrygallo no, it has two gravity drops.
This is not powered trains is it? Can't see any way the train would drive itself along the track in a lot of places, impressive the way it maintains a consistent speed if it's not powered..... most of the track must be on a VERY gradual decline.
Yes this is a gravity coaster, not powered.
why Are there only 2 Smaller drops?
Fury 325 meaning?
OneWheelProductions meaning, There should Be more thrilling Elements in A ride over 5 Minutes long.
Fury 325 it’s not supposed to be thrilling per-say, the scenes and props are what make this ride.
The lift tools and drops throughout the ride were pretty cool but the overall idea is really lame, not much to see... would have been better as they wanted house or Haunted Mansion type of ride with more things to see
The Pennsylvania mining industry is very important to the local history, and it is about Centrailia. They have a great Haunted House ride already?
Where at is this at the park
REBAL 33 to the right rear. look, I still get lost in Knoebels.
it's right near the log flume ride and the super round up, near the back of the park. if you know where the coal mine museum is there (that's what it's called right?) its right next to it:)
I went on this normally, not scary... Lol
Some kids are scared when they ride.
At least itsnot sceary thouh as hunted house that scaery one inever gone back tothat never will wel this black diamond is ok thisis notbad if want to scerd out of your wits then go to field of screasms terror farm perry new port pa thats good one gtesburg one thats goodone
Chris Smith yep, it’s a great Ride!!
That ride wasn’t scary at all. I thought it was gonna be scary but it wasn’t
Well that’s 5+ minutes of my life I’m never getting back. 😴
Clare Hughes the multi angle pov is better. :)
Umm I can't see the props
Watch the Multiple angle POV. It shows the props.
ruclips.net/video/J65n5f2ib2Y/видео.html
Nope nope nope
It looks like it COULD be fun, IF they took their foot off the brake. Why is it SO SLOW?? The animatronic figures on the sidelines are having more fun than any rider would.
bill mccomb I think it’s so people can see the props.
😰😰😰😰😰
ximena xD ?
so not fun
Davi Edmond I liked it.
