10 MORE Lost Rides of Knott’s Berry Farm REVEALED

Knott’s Berry Farm has been home to some of the most creative and distinctive attractions in theme park history. But as the park has evolved, many of its rides have disappeared, leaving behind only memories and the footprints of what once stood.

Kingdom of the Dinosaurs transformed a beloved dark ride into a prehistoric journey, while Mystery Lodge combined cutting-edge effects with Indigenous storytelling. The park once pulsed with motion from thrill rides like Riptide, Hammerhead, Tampico Tumbler, and the towering Gran Slammer, each offering unique sensations now consigned to history.

Take a look back at Montezooma’s Revenge, a legendary shuttle coaster known for its intense flywheel launch and enduring presence. Then discover XK-1, a spinning flat ride tucked into a small corner of the park, as well as VertiGo and Scremin’ Swing, two dramatic air launched experiences.

These attractions, whether iconic or overlooked, each played a role in defining the character of Knott’s Berry Farm. Join us as we revisit their stories and explore how they helped shape the park we know today.
