Off Topic: The Imagineering Story

This has nothing to do with Knott's but is more for theme park lovers in general. I've been watching Leslie Iwerks' The Imagineering Story docuseries on Disney+ and it is fantastic. While there isn't much in the way of new information, there is - fortunately - a lot of great behind the scenes footage being shown for the first time, so definitely worth checking out. To further persuade any of my readers who may still be on the fence; ex-Imagineers and Knott's alumni Rolly Crump (Knott's Bear-y Tales), Bob Gurr (Kingdom of the Dinosaurs) and Eddie Sotto (Wacky Soapbox Racers) are all interviewed in it. While Disney nerds like myself are disappointed at everything being left out, I do see how the tighter presentation is creating a narrative easier to grasp that may've otherwise been lost had they delved any deeper. Only one episode in and I'm hooked. 

Can't recommend it enough!
