Calico Mine Ride - This beloved attraction carries riders aboard ore cars on a realistic adventure through dimly lit tunnels of a working gold mine. The winding journey takes passengers to underground lakes, waterfalls, caverns filled with thousands of mysterious formations, and chambers filled with steaming, bubbling pots and geysers. • At several points in the trip, riders find themselves along the rim of a sixty-five-foot deep and ninety-foot wide scene filled with dozens of animated miners trying to strike it rich. • Height Requirement: 46 inches or accompanied by a supervising companion. • The Calico Mine Ride, Knott’s first major ride, opened in Ghost Town in November 1960 and was quickly recognized as one of the world’s most immersive “dark rides.” The beloved attraction, designed by industry pioneer Bud Hurlbut, carries riders aboard ore cars on a realistic adventure through dimly lit tunnels of a working gold mine. The winding journey takes passengers to underground lakes, waterfalls, caverns filled with thousands of mysterious formations, and chambers filled with steaming, bubbling pots and geysers. At several points in the trip, riders find themselves along the rim of a sixty-five-foot deep and ninety-foot wide scene filled with dozens of animated miners trying to strike it rich. • The attraction’s rustic wooden loading platform has been refreshed. It now includes a “peek-in” similar to those found throughout Ghost Town, offering guests windows into the rich mining history of the 1850s on their way toward boarding the mine train car. • Bud Hurlbut created this rumbling tour aboard six ore cars fitted along the sides with benches behind a fanciful representation of a small steam locomotive on a narrated journey touring the Calico Mine . Admission could be purchased from the shack at the base of the trail up to the station. An underground lake, steam geyser, shaft elevator, Philip Deidesheimer's Square-set timbering construction techniques on the lift hill, and several glimpses of the Glory Hole could be seen aboard this power-assisted gravity coaster. A day-glow-painted cavern featured several formations of stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites building slowly from the floor to dramatic organ music. Dead Man's Trestle was then crossed slowly before the train became a runaway through a blasting zone and cave-in for a thrilling climax of this enclosed, power-assisted gravity roller-coaster. • Bud Hurlbut (Wendell Bud Hurlbut 1918-Jan. 5, 2011) of Hurlbut Amusement Company constructed Calico Mine Train, which opened in 1960 on Walter Knott's property for $1.5 Million as a concession and paid Walt a portion of ticket sales. When Walt visited Bud during construction, he asked, Do you know what you are doing? and even though he had invested every cent and more, Bud replied, Yes. He told the story later and added, …and I never lied to him again. . Bud lived in an apartment with a cot and refrigerator, hidden near the train storage tracks and repair shop, a short commute to an endless task. It incorporated many innovative designs, such as being the first attraction to incorporate a hidden switchback queue. When Walt Disney came to ride he was astonished enough to exclaim You old S.O.B! because the trail was obscured, it appeared to have a shorter wait than actual, which is now the industry standard. • Bud was also the operator of the Knott's Lagoon attractions – the merry-go-round, the row-boat and peddle-boat rental, the Cordelia K. Steamboat side-wheel steamboat, and continued to construct superior amusement park steam locomotives and trains, like the Miniature Train circling Knott's Lagoon. He would continue to create world-class attractions, such as the Antique Auto Ride and Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knott's and other theme parks. The Calico Mine Train remains a popular attraction. • A 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge mine train dark ride. Riders board ore cars pulled by battery-powered locomotives and journey deep into a faux mining excavation site. • A point-of-view shot (also known as a POV shot, first-person shot, or a subjective camera) is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established between a shot of a character looking at something and a shot showing the character's reaction. The POV technique is one of the foundations of film editing. • For more information, visit https://www.knotts.com/ • Knott's Berry Farm ‪@knottsberryfarm‬ • Address: 8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620 • Chapters • 0:00 Opening • 0:42 POV Train Right • 7:47 POV Train Rear • © 2021 Cow Missing Productions • ( / cowmissing ) • Please do not reproduce without our expressed written consent. • SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/2zvdhrU • / cowmissing • #CalicoMineTrain #Calico #BudHurlbut #Knotts #KnottsBerryFarm #SkyCabin #ThemePark #BuenaPark #CedarFair #cowmissing • VE4FKKCTVUAJPQHJ
