The Pink Monorail Podcast: Manufacturing the Magic Episode 12 In the twelfth installment of this educational series, Shelly & Noe Valladolid talk about how a small, roadside berry stand in Buena Park, CA eventually grew to become one of America’s most popular theme parks 

Throughout this episode, listeners will learn about: 

• How an abandoned berry plant found in a ditch became a thriving family business 
• How the tea room at Knott’s Berry Place eventually transformed into Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant 
• How was the piece for Knott’s “Ghost Town Village” acquired 
• Which piece of the Roaring ’20s is still in operation within the Park 
• How did Knott’s annual Halloween Haunt hard ticket get its start 

Knott's Berry Farm is beloved by locals, and visitors to Southern California. Their chicken dinners are amazing, and their rides are amazing. If you're ever in town I highly recommend it. Have you visited this park? Do you have any memories of it? I’d like to hear about it in the comments section.
