Knoebels Haunted Mansion - Behind The Scenes Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2018
- You've probably never watched a Knoebels Haunted Mansion video like this one. Not only do you get to see the lights on, but you also get to see members of the Knoebels family give a personal group tour of the famous darkride. Knoebels and D.A.F.E. teamed up for a charity auction. Winning bidders were able to get a once in a lifetime tour of the 45yr old Haunted Mansion. To help protect some of the magic and for respect of Knoebels, i am only sharing select video clips. Much more was shared with the group, but this will give you a good idea of how the tour went. Enjoy

Make sure to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it.
JPVideos wow man thank you for this. Really enjoyed it
Hi (hit--22:49) Jay !!! You're the best!!!
I always 👍♥️. I want you to grow & prosper 👍
JPVideos I never went on it I've seen videos of this ride and I have a lot of respect for this ride but the thing is I'm terrified of Haunted Houses I rode the Haunted Mansion at Disney World and It wasn't as scary as this ride never till this day I always walked away from this ride because it will give me nightmares
I got this tour once. It was awesome. If you want, here's the story:
I had ridden this ride when I was about four. It scared me to death, so it has always been pretty scary for me, but I have also loved it ever since. I would go in there, trying to keep my eyes open for the whole ride. It never happened.
But, one time we were going here as my birthday present in about 2013 or 2014. On the ride there, we stopped at a gas station to get some snacks. My mom had a "call" to make, and I just assumed it was something for work, but what I didn't know was that call was to Knoebels. She was asking to make a deal to get a tour of the Haunted Mansion for me. So, we had a normal day at Knoebels, fun like usual, but then the park was closing. My family was pushing me to get one last ride on the Haunted Mansion, even though they probably wouldn't let us on and everyone knew that. So, we went to the front and some workers in a golf cart pulled up to the entrance. My parents kind of played along, saying things like "what are you doing here?" and the workers said back "oh, we are just checking up the ride. Wanna come with us?" At this point I still didn't get this was planned, I legit thought that we had just gotten a free tour of the ride out of nowhere. But, sure enough, we went inside with a worker or two, they turned the lights on, and told us all the secrets and history of the ride.
I'm glad you got to experience it.
Yeah, I am too lol
Also, did they tell you that the concrete form used to spin? I didn't see in the video
Yep, like i mentioned. There are parts to the tour that i left out for respect for the auction and Knoebels. Lots of interesting facts were shared during that tour. I hope one day they have it rotate again.
Same here. Honestly, I think it is so cool that this ride was basically made all out of recycled items. Shows the charm in Knoebels.
This was a fun bit of nostalgia. I used to love this ride back in the day, and it was great to learn a little more about some of the ride features.
Glad you got to do the tour. I don't know anyone else who's a bigger fan of knoebels. Im still shocked at how the truck was put together, I never would've guessed.
My nephew is a child with a chronic illness. Max is my great nephew and he was nominated for a wish from ‘Give Kids the World ‘ by his doctor. They are an AWESOME organization and I am so grateful that the auction proceeds went to them. Max’s mother is my niece and she is also a cancer survivor (pancreatic cancer) and Max’s brother is a special needs child who is also a traumatic brain injury survivor. Give Kids the World sent my nieces whole family and her mother to a once in a lifetime trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. Thank you so much! I grew up 15 minutes from Knoebels and I have many wonderful memories of going there as a child! My husband and I relocated back home 5 years ago when my niece fell ill. I still look forward to opening weekend every year. I really like your videos and I hope that you continue to do them.
Thanks beth. Ill be there opening day.
Hello jp. I loved the video. It is always fun to learn about dark rides and there past. Thanks for the behind look. Great video.
I remember the snake coming out of the clock , the organ player , the oven , the puff of air ( no matter how many times we rode that ride it always got me , lol ) , the room before going up I the attic was just a room with a flashing strobe light , going up in the attic they use to have a line of what we believed was angel hair hanging down the would go across your face . Remember the air horn with the truck lights , we thought we were going to get run over the first time on the ride . Loved the waterfall we thought we were going to get cooled off , darn . All of those that I remember was for the 70's but I do love all the new stuff they put in there . Made a lot of great memories of Knobels from the 60's and 70's . Was sad when I found out the roller rink is no longer there and some of the rides back them are gone but they put in a lot of great rides . Love and miss Knobles.
Thanks for sharing. Ill be there for opening day with new videos.
JPVideos cant wait to see them .
Wow. Pretty neat tour. :) I used to go camping at a campground nearby every year with my family as a kid, and I used to go to Knoebels every year for my birthday for a few years, and I went in for a handful of the years I went there and did get scared of it. Looking back on it now, Knoebels is pretty iconic to me because it was apart of my life as a kid looking forward to going there each year for my birthday, and even though I didn't go in this haunted house every year I did go, sometimes if I remember right it was simply closed, it still holds a spot in my heart.
Awesome video - once in a lifetime experience- thank you for sharing J 😁👍💕
Hey JP, I don't know about anyone else, but for me it is spooky in the day time.awesome video.
I am slowly making my way through all the dark ride videos. This one is just amazing. What a fantastic auction idea! Thank you for sharing. ☺
Ty tabby
Wow what an interesting video, I love the whole behind the scenes thing getting to see the details up close the animatronics powered down and the just the silent ride to walk through. I bet you enjoyed every second of it! Also the fact that the guides told you the history of the ride and where some of the set pieces came from, it was really great!
It was an unforgettable experience
Always loved this ride growing up... Very nostalgic to me. Back when my whole family used to go together and all of the family kids would run around without a care in the world. I seriously miss it
Can't wait to get back to the park and ride thru the mansion again! A once in a life time tour!
Very cool behind the scenes look!!
👍👍👍👍
As a theme park enthusiast- and an Orlando local...Disney parks guru..
I was born and raised in north east PA and have spent more time at knoebels than anywhere in the world. There is absolutely nothing like it anywhere in the world, and I get a serious high off bringing friends from other states and countries to go with me. In 1987 my parents took me on this ride for the first time....it took me till at least 1997 to grow a pair and go on it again (I was 12).
So even though I lost out on a few years there, I’ve still been on this 200+ times at least..this has to be the coolest ever as far as a BTS lights on video. Absolutely awesome, and I am so jealous...
Congratulations on this epic opportunity, I’m actually in PA now visiting my parents....was at the park last weekend and going again next Tuesday before I fly back home to Florida.
Anyone else that’s reading this and would like to meet up and gush over tech aspects and just fankid out shoot me a message ! I’m full of knoebels lore and old ride info!
Super awesome thanks for sharing this video
Another great video. Catching up still on them. Absotively awesomeness. Ty again. HUGS and blessings from NY State
🙂
I wish I didn’t live in ny
it’s cold
This is an amazing video of a truly outstanding ride and amusement park. I live about an hour away from this park and absolutely love it. The Knoebel family, their managers, and staff do outstanding work day in and day out every year. I have been to this park several times each year and have been there on business as well and talked with the Knoebel family and they are some of the most patient, nicest, humble, and genuinely caring people you could ever wish to meet. All of this comes with the tremendous weight of running such a large scale operation that would probably be very trying to most families even in the best of times. Like I said, I really cannot overstate how special this place is and what great work they do keeping it an amazing destination for family fun for generations. I hope it retains its charm and family ownership for the next 100+years. I really wish that everyone in America could visit this place at least once to get a true feel of what this place is like. Knoebels isn't the only amusement park out there, but they are certainly among the BEST at what they do!
Well said
Awesome tour the car and air horns get me every time even though I know it's coming haha
Its the best prop in the mansion.
I loved Kanobles but I had to move away but I'm visiting this year and I'm gonna have so much fun
Lots of big kids checking out the haunted mansion ☺️ love it.
Very interesting...thanks for sharing
Nice ceremony and great ride
Awesome JP. Thanks for sharing.💀👀👻☠️
Thanks for watching it
Awesome man!
Thank you
Super cool
That was so cool!
Thumbs up anyways, because your videos, you take your time to explain and share informations and never dull and the still shots are super great and clear to frame for wall hanging. Keep up the good job always looking for your new adventure exploring the unknown. 😊🤗😁
Thanks so much
Sonny that was and is wonderful. Thank you again
Sonny? Lol
WOW! Amazinfg & Unbelievable how some ppl can come up with gory entertainment.
I've never been here but it seems like a fun and spooky ride.
No matter how old I get this Haunted House has been the scariest for me. And I have worked in Horror Hall. But this one gives me the heebee jeebees just walking past it. If one of my friends manages to drag me abroad my head is down hands over my head eyes shut until I hear the native man yell
Oh lort lol
Horror hall ? I'm from wilkes barre bur my family from nanticoke. Grew up visiting horror hall. That fire co and volunteers do an outstanding job each year!!! Great local connection. I'm from o karma projects in wilkes barre. But spent much of my time in nanticoke
@@kennethlopez6527 I'm from Wilkes Barre as well
What a fantastic opportunity. The Frankenstein was cool. 🙂
Such a cool video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome!
Thanks man
Very cool👍👍
Since you love the Haunted House ride this had to be a very special tour. Glad you got to go .. ( as much publicity as you give them they could have let you in for free ....but I know it was for a good cause ....so..... : )
I enjoyed it very much and it was worth every penny.
I am definitely coming here to experience this!
Id be glad to join ya
It is so cool
Cool
My very first memory of riding any rides is being terrified by the fake train about to hit you on the superstition Mountain dark ride at Indiana Beach. Cool to know it inspired this.
I bought a dvd years ago that was done by a dark ride fan group and they toured it with the lights on as well. It might have been DAFE that brought it out but I can't remember.
I have that dvd as well.
@@JPVideos81 yeah I need to find mine and watch it again
Tyler and ready to go out for all your support of us who were
Enjoy. Thanks.
Hi Jay! (Hit--22:49👀) Spent an hr watching this fun video.🤗🖒🖒🖒
Hey thanks for this. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Some pretty handsome dudes in there lol. 🌹💟🌹
Haha
@@JPVideos81 ❤🌿❤
Aww GIVE KIDS THE WORLD.
What is the name of the thing they are talking about at 13:20? I’m so curious and can’t quite catch what it’s called. “Walking Char” is all I hear and I know it’s not right.
It's from a game called a "walking charlie", it was 8 those heads that would spin. Each one would be wearing a hat, and you would try to knock off the hat. If you managed to knock the hat off you would win a cigar.
How would one get a chance to get a tour?
in Haunted Mansion this is on a calndar march 6 1983 what is the history?
I must say, I've never have seen a haunted ride behind the scenes before.
I remember going on the and I got scared
Great tour how did you get to do the tour
The video explained how...
Who did the art work for the Haunted 🏠 house?
Its ready for a big update I think
Yea it’s pretty trashy
i liked the upside down room
So which one was Ruth?
Across from the organ. She spins around by the fireplace.
The skeleton room used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid... I knew it was missing something as I rode it when I was older, I just couldn't put my finger on it
It's back now!
hum and you wonder why im not a fan too many tricks and turns. Now ii do Halloween but you won't like after lol
😁
That was pretty good but it could be improved a lot by rebuilding the scares and add new things.
They dont add much , because they want to keep it as original and old school as possible. They do some major refurbs every few years though.
Gumball watterson’s 3rd great grandfather is named Ishmael hepple (1870-1952)
I think they could use some young blood and make it much better. I wish I could have heard the part about the motor size for the cars.
I would be disappointed if they changed it and made it modern. The way it is now is what makes it rank in top 10 dark houses in the country.
I never understood the jungle room. It's not scary and doesan't fit the haunted mansion theme. I feel like they could have made this the upside down room at the end.
I’ve seen a video of someone riding and the workshop door was randomly open
Probably my video
ruclips.net/video/lC-YkgA3Xj4/видео.html
@@JPVideos81 that’s the one
I’ve been looking for this thanks
Did you know at knoebels there are skulls in the tunnel on the Phoenix you can see them if your on a seat to the left and look at the top left corner lol
Lights were on in the tunnel on fathers day. Skulls and spiders in there.
Cool
Feirce Majora That would make sense not to undecorate it because mostly no one notices
i wish they'd do this with disney's haunted mansion :{
That would be awesome, but extremely expensive.
@@JPVideos81 id pay! i love that ride so much!
@@zekeholloway4413 i have a video of it coming out in a couple weeks. I was down there last month.
I was thinking this was Disney's the haunted mansion
I am greatly disappointed I also thought this
This is a horrible ride
Maybe consider re-posting this vlog.
I did a 2020 video on it
7:58
8:04
Is that one of the new 2018 scares 15:37
Which part?
JPVideos the thing next to the girl
@@loganh7613 thats been there for a while.
JPVideos also noticed this in the 2019 video I realized they gave the skeleton playing the organ movement when did they do that
@@loganh7613 correct, i believe last year.
The logo is stolen from the real haunted mansion in disneyland
I know and the quality of this ride is horrible
They should be sued
Certain jobs at this park are paid under minimum wage because its cheaper for them to pay the fine than to pay someone the legal wage. Have a family member who works there.
Thats not good. I always thought they would pay well since its family owned.
@@JPVideos81 Great Adventure is the same way. In order to even get paid you have to stand on long, long, lines to pick up your check, least that's the way it was when I was working at the Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey.
I was working on shows (meaning back stage), in shows (on stage), worked behind the sceans at stunts shows like Batman did security during season and after closeing.
I barely got paid at all !! In all I figured it out and it was at least $6,000. I got jipped out of. When you're there from 8 am till 1 pm like almost every day you're not always thinking right as far as pay and all. But I LOVED IT. I loved what I did there, the stuff you got to learn, the people you get to meet. I got to meet Barry Manilow before he was a mega star and one of the nicest folks was David Jones. Being bored I made up some silly words to the Monkee theme song as I cleaned the 'stars' dressing room and hadden't noticed Mr. Jones haven come in. He just staired at me then cracked up laughing. I asked him if he'd like my autograph, he cracked up even more. Yeah they're 'stars' but they're just reg folks with cool great paying jobs.
Loved this my family is good friends with dick knobel and the staff they gave us a tour of the black diamond and the Haunted Mansion they are such nice people
The constant flashing from obnoxious folk with their cameras is really irritating when you try to focus on the set pieces in the ride. I'm sorry that I can't enjoy this video because those random people doing that just ruins the whole experience and atmosphere.
The haunted mansion? They stole from disney.
joey vance no they didn't
Brianna Nichole Wojciechowicz I mean of course they did! WALT DID IT FIRST.
@@lukemanor3613 This doesn't have "The" in it so not even close. There's lots of places with the name 'Haunted Mansion' in it.
