2-29-08 Welcome to...Fantasmic!?  I have the pleasure of dedicating space on Bear-ytales.net to showcase the construction process of Disneyland's iconic show, "Fantasmic!".  This incredible show has been wowing millions of guests for over 15 years and is still going strong today.  I was able to document the construction process long before digital cameras and websites made this sort of thing commonplace, and I am proud to showcase my entire collection here for the first time.  Even though this is not a Knott's Berry Farm project, I'm willing to bet that the theme park/Disney fan community will forgive the cross-over.  Enjoy!

Save the Buena Park Town Clock12-14-07 I recently came across the website at left.  Many of you will remember the large, ornate clock that found its home at Knott's years ago.  It told time in the Marketplace Rose Garden before moving to the Main Gate.  It was recently removed all together and discovered on Ebay of all places.  Click the link at left to learn how to save the historic Dreger Clock.

11-15-07 Westcoaster.net has pictures of the new Panda Express facade in Ghost Town.  And dare I say, it looks VERY nice!  Even if the food doesn't fit in Ghost Town, the look of the new building certainly will.  Cedar Fair has done a lot of good for Knott's, and it looks like this will be yet another example.
