Re: Knoebels Flooded

This is from their website:

Here's the plan, we hope to be able to open parts of the park on a
limited basis sometime in the afternoon, Friday, June 30 and to have
the vast majority of the park open by Saturday, July 1.
The pool may take a little longer.

Re: Knoebels Flooded

I have never been to the park. Was the whole placed flooded? Or was some of it above the flood level?

Re: Knoebels Flooded

^ The park is of quite varying levels so I'm sure it's not the whole park. From looking at the pictures it looks to be the carousel, bumper cars, haunted mansion, etc. There is a creek/river that runs through the middle of the park, that's where the flooding starts.

A couple of pics I took last year when we were there:

The river/creek:


And why Knoebels rocks!!! They actually use things like the floodings to their advantage:

Re: Knoebels Flooded

Perhaps they should become a water park - with lots of flume rides and water slides.
