Six Flags (the one in Georgia, at least) seems to blast current music (like Fergie songs) all over the park. Maybe Knott's is putting a spin on that... At least people can get their classic Knott's fix at Meet The World!Dan Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818108201214059180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-52683254375593903612012-01-08T13:30:29.237-08:002012-01-08T13:30:29.237-08:00VDT, yeah safe storage....that's it!

Maybe they would change the music back if enough people complained about it. Even the employees didn't seem to like the change. They have to be careful what they say, but they all kind of sigh and role their eyes when talking about it.<br /><br />Major, yes I also feel that the Knott family made many mistakes. People say to me, "oh, you worked there when the Knott family still owned it, I hear it was much better back then" NOT MUCH! I was thinking the same thing about that arch getting a little weathered. Who knows, maybe they're going to put a sign on it. I think it will still look weird though. Oh, and I hear that Wing Lee actually is a Human League fan, but Goldie likes Blondie and Sad-Eye Joe prefers Talking Heads!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-30976255206919394602012-01-08T12:08:34.234-08:002012-01-08T12:08:34.234-08:00UGH, your news about the music change makes me sad...UGH, your news about the music change makes me sad. It proves that folks who run amusement parks don't necessarily understand what makes those parks special. (Strangely, I feel that the Knott family made the same mistake when they introduced the Peanuts characters into their own park). I am looking forward to hearing "Keep Feeling Fascination" the next time I am watching Wing Lee ironing a shirt. <br /><br />The girls are still Nell and Belle to me! And they are shinier than ever, something that I admire in a woman. Why did that ticket booth get torn down? I'm sure some genius said, "Rip it out, who even notices it?". Meanwhile, folks who loves Knott's DO notice details like that. The new arch is strange; maybe if it is weathered and aged it won't be such an eyesore.<br /><br />Whoa, Matt Ouimet made those decisions? I heard nothing but raves about him when he was with Disney; folks practically wept when he left. So far I am not impressed.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-38496904797161859772012-01-08T10:14:33.732-08:002012-01-08T10:14:33.732-08:00Great post!

I haven't been there for several months but I do NOT want to listen to 80's music while walking through Ghost Town. I plan to email the company. Come on, people!

Hopefully he will return the individual theme music to each section of the park....and bring back the Haunted Shack in some form....and also put a dark ride back into the Bear-y Tales/Kingdom of the Dinosaurs space....oh and stop tearing things down!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-36908693571430526342012-01-07T22:56:52.713-08:002012-01-07T22:56:52.713-08:00Knott's New CEO is Matt Ouimet, who was the Pr...Knott's New CEO is Matt Ouimet, who was the President of Disneyland during its very successful and well-received 50th anniversary celebration.Dudenoreply@blogger.com
