I remember there was a Japanese Village and Deer Park in southern Orange County (CA), but it closed sometime in the 70s due to a tuberculousis outbreak in the deer. I once visited Lion Country Safari, also now gone; since their main attraction, Frasier the Sensuous Lion died, people weren't all that interested. I remember the zebra-striped Jeeps running through town when it was open.

The Japanese Deer Park abutted I5 at the LA/OC county line. :D:

My favorite KBF ride that no longer exists was Soap Box Racers. Was that replaced with motorcycles later? I believe it stood where Xcelerator now stands.

Went to KBF last Friday. I get so frustrated with their inefficiency on rides. Case in point: Their newest roller coaster, Silver Bullet. Had a line two miles long, moving like a snail. They only run one train, so there is no loading one train when the other is running. I saw another train on a side rail, but it looked like it was being worked on. Ridiculous.

"Yes, sir, but the water is fake."

The Motorcycles came first, then the Soapbox racers (miss those too), then Windjammer (horrible coaster-never ran properly), and now Xcelerator.
Sorry about your visit on Friday , Ms.Matterhorn. The end-of-school trips to Knott's are very popular (we had over 8K school kids today:eek :) .
The maintenance schedules are weird here at Knott's. There may have been a problem with the other car at Silver Bullet that popped up without warning. Or there was a staffing issue that day. Both of those problems plus tons of kids make for a perfect storm.

Working at the The Seas in Epcot you get a lot of confusion about exactly what ride and show are there. Its not uncommon for people we are the Musical at DAK or wonder where our Submarines are. Today I went back and forth with a guest who insisted without a shawdow of a doubt that We had the crush coaster. He pulled up his phone and showed me a park map with the crush coaster and he demanded to know where it was. At which point I had to point out He was in Epcot in Florida and he was looking at a Map Walt Disney Studios Park at EURO DISNEY. At which point he went "OH!" turned and walked into Turtle Talk.

Well a couple of years ago I placed some Magic Kingdom maps in English, Spanish and Japanese in the multilingual map rack outside City Hall in Disneyland. I did not stay around to see the results, but they may have been interesting. I may do it again next month.
