K-fun... My review of Knoble Amusement Park

Knobles is old fashioned. They don't do much in the way of banners, or digital printing around the park. They still do hand painted signs for just about everything. They have some moderate thrill rides, but nothing that will make you wet your pants. There's a yesteryear atmosphere there, with huge trees overhead creating shade, and ride attendants taking paper tickets. Many rides are acquired from theme parks who want to give up the old favorites to make room to build the latest steel speed coasters. I love the smooth steel coasters, that shoot me out, and don't jostle me on wooden track until I get a nasty headache, but there's something so charming about a park with all the old rides from another simpler, more carefree time. The carmel corn, soft serve, and french fries can't be beat, and the free parking, pavilions and picnic tables aplenty, no entry fee, and loads of kiddie rides make it a great choice for families with children.
