Knoebels Amusement Park Review Elysburg, PA

Love this place, I literally go there 6 days a week...(because I work there)

Knoebels is the real happiest place on Earth. It's the only park I feel I MUST visit several times a year.

I simply love Knoebels. My first visit was in 1972 when I was 2 years old, and have been coming back from New Jersey ever since. The Flyers are the single best flat I have ever riden. May they never change the way they run them. It's the only ride I have ever been applauded by the crowd for the way I rode the ride. Mindblowing

Don't forget to mention that they have the country's best bumper cars (yea folks, they do) and you can still grab the brass ring on the carousel!

who agrees that coaster studios is the most reliable source for reviews on coasters and parks? The google reviews suck, just look at the reviews of Fury 325, there are a million cedar point fanboys who think MF is better because they rode it lots of times and fury 325 1 time. so yeah you are the best place for park and coaster reviews to me.

Your park won an award:Most tidy park

You need to do a full review of the flyers

Fun little park. I saw Mr Knoebel carrying an ice bucket, like the owner doing day work, home cooked food, and get this...my phone flew out on a ride and no one could find it. The next day my home got a call. Someone found it in a Bush, it still worked, they looked at my contacts, found home and called it. They then mailed my phone to me. Talk about a different climate than most parks. . Oh and yes the Flyers were amazing I was with an Enthusiast group and it was really something to have everyone on the ride snapping their planes. The ride collection is small but superb quality I liked all the coasters even Kosmos which was shockingly good for a kiddie ride I purposefully avoid them but they assured me that one was worth it. Great park it exceeded my expectations

Love Knoebels. Out of ~55 parks I've visited this is definitely a top 5 park for me.

That’s my home town park! I’ve been employed there for three summers now and the management is just as good as the friendly employees it’s honestly a great place!

“In the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania” that’s literally all of PA except Philly and Pittsburgh

You’re maturing quite a bit, young man! Glad to see that you’re appreciating the subtle nuances of classic parks so much more. Kudos to you! Happy New Year!!🎊

The park most people compare Knoebels to is actually my homepark which I think is hilarious. And that's a great thing I love my homepark and this seems like a place that people I know will love to death. (For those curious my homepark is Bakken in Denmark.)

iKnoebels s a well preserved and updated classic amusement park. Before Disney and Six Flags, this is how local parks used to be. Most have disappeared, but this place remains. With a huge assortment of original classic rides. Including the Phoenix, which was moved from Texas, and the airplane thing you liked so much. If you noticed, it does nto run on electricity, there is a gas motor that spins it. It's the real deal. Not a remake that seems to be appearing in more parks over the last few years. And the Haunted Mansion at Disney is a ripoff of this (and other classic dark rides). The Haunted Mansion her, too, is an original dark ride from back in the day. That, the food, the prices, the free entry and free parking, the wooded atmosphere, and the people are what makes this place special. The employees care, there isn't a line jumping problem here, its clean, and everything is extremely well maintained, most unlike the big amusement park chains. It has generations of fans, something that a a park built in the 70's really doesnt have. Everybody can truely enjoy this place.

This makes me so proud to live so close to this amazing park! Our school has field trips here and we get to go and get a pass to get on any ride for a small fee!

PA native here. I am SO THRILLED you get the allure and hype that Knoebels has to offer. This is a park I grew up going to. The park is basically straight out of the 70s. Knoebels does everything so well. Their food is fantastic, the park is immaculately clean and I adore just how nice and shady everything gets with all the trees. Besides the flyers, Phoenix has ASTOUNDING ejector airtime, and Impulse is incredibly smooth. The wristsbands are a great deal AND they also have a discount when you bring in a bag of Middleswarth chips! I love it there.

10/10 i only entered the park and i saw the lemonade stand that gave me nostalgia to rct3 when the lemonade stand was the shape of a lemon. No adds, good coasters, employees are very nice, good price, and the rides were good.

I went to Knoebles many years ago with my parents, and I fell in love with the place. Reminded me of my home park, Crystal Beach in Canada, which sadly closed in 1989. Knoebles is a true classic park, with old style rides, and two wooden coasters with lots of speed. And yes, I also love the Haunted Mansion. Not exactly Disney, but it was fun, in any case.

I was a AAA travel agent here in lancaster PA and I got to tell you people love this park swear by it for generations
