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.

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.

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.
