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!

reviews into us are positive, indicating that while the food is
a bit more expensive than other Panda Express locations (to be
expected), the interior is very nice and the queue is set up to
quickly accommodate the crowds.

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.

Clock.

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.
