Calico Mine Train FULL RIDE on first passholder preview day 2021 at Knott's Berry Farm

A full ride aboard the Calico Mine Train at Knott's Berry Farm during the park's first season passholder preview day: Thursday, May 6, 2021.

[@H.C.Q.]

I love this ride and the Log Ride. Two rides from my childhood that made a strong impression on me.

[@johnhawkins4162]

I have a collection of the same lanterns from this ride and log ride. The oldest one I have is dated 1916 and most recent dated June 9 1944, just 3 days after D-day. All of them are still in good shape and I use them every now and then. I plan on going off grid and build on my property to look like the scenery from these rides.

[@christopherboyd8152]

I hope they NEVER get rid of this ride, along with the Timber Mountain Log Ride. Huge staples of Knotts Berry Farm! Classic memories!

[@cupheadplushadventures7624]

It was nice of the employee letting the creator to get in the front

[@ericbryan3426]

Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf recently xD

[@davianrohan6769]

[@Jedii906]

[@theresazubia]

This ride is fantastic!

[@michaelramos810]

Yeah but it's loud

[@NJgamer1505]

7:01 that cave part always scared me as a kid 😂

[@jacquelinebugaringonzalez4999]

Same bro

[@jovanholland36]

6:30 i remember when i got to this part i thought there was going to be a drop and i got so scared

[@mamaluigi2064]

I remember as a kid the animatronics always freaked me the fuck out and to this day I still get this uncanny feeling when looking at those animatronics

[@kingmatt9974]

Fnaf got to your head 😂

[@TheHaloRed]

The best themed ride at Knott's Berry Farm (Log Ride a close 2nd)!

[@davidwesley2525]

Log Ride #1
Mine Train Ride #2
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@brandonogc8936]

This is amazing I swear, when the cave is blackened to it's darkest whilst going uphill, which(How did they pull that one off?) Put a lifthill in a small mine😯. SERIOUSLY, and the best part the stalagmites and stalagmites showed up

[@alexguerrero4497]

2nd best dark ride ever built!

[@ien2023]

You know this would a great faster coaster ride.

[@kelaarin]

True...but it doesn't need to be.

[@TheHaloRed]

What's interesting is, this ride is technically a (very slow) coaster. The train moves through gravity at the beginning, then goes up a chain lift hill midway, then uses gravity again to finish the ride. Many parts of the track are at a slight downward angle so the train can move (I worked at this ride in 1994-95.)

[@victorunboxestheworld]

Some drivers go REALLY fast at the end literally dynamite driving but it all depends on who is the driver

[@dinnerisgood]

@@victorunboxestheworld I was going to say, I remember riding when I was a kid and the driver was hauling ass. It felt like a coaster back then.

[@cartoonkeeper]

​@@TheHaloRed I knew that engine looked fake

[@danielboone3770]

Plus did you hear that whistle? Sounds like the Disneyland Railroad locomotive #1.

[@Brony2002]

I think it was this ride or something. In 2019, while I was riding the ride, there was a tour announcer talking, and her voice sounded like Applejack from My Little Pony. I was all like "Is that Applejack?!" Good times.

[@cartoonkeeper]

That would be awesome if Ashley Ball did the announcements for one of the ride vehicles in Applejack's or Rainbow Dash's voice

[@rosaspanjol673]

Love 💕 this ride 👍😘👍

[@danielboone3770]

A ride similar to Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland!

[@nionotanuestef1952]

Knott's Berry Farm's Calico Mine Ride predates Big Thunder Mountain by a long shot. In fact, Disney -ahem- borrowed a lot from Knott's Berry Farm. 😁

[@Zombywoof92553]

The Chinese guy in the lift frightened me as a kid.

[@terrymartin589]

Bluegrass music makes the ride better.

[@victorunboxestheworld]

They have now a Halloween overlay called the calico candy mine ride which adds music to the ride
Not bluegrass but a spin on the song “big rock candy mountain” which is a folk music song

[@dxftz3349]

7:00 vamping

[@penafam9382]

Im scared of that ride because of the animatronics

[@johnhawkins4162]

Those are the best part... and the lanterns.

[@TEMPLE7D]

Here after yesterday’s derailment. Hmmm seems that last curve is really tight.

[@cristinaartista9693]

Are there any drops on this ride? Or is it kid friendly?

[@sramme]

No drops, very kid friendly.

[@davidwesley2525]

Creepy organ music at 7:10.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@liliantunez1908]

Yes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@pduidesign]

There’s only one other park that has this level of detail and theming: Disneyland

[@liliantunez1908]

Good👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@Humanmemes12827]

Fun fact this ride derailed earlier today

[@ItsDannyRobbins]

And fortunately nobody was hurt.

[@gamma20t]
