Answer: The Hanging Show

Originally, "The Hanging" was a short 20 minute show that was very serious. The plot was that the citizens of Calico caught a witch in their midst and they decide to hang her. Instead of being hanged though, when the executioner pulled the lever, there was a fireball, and in plain view of the audience she drops through, turns into a dove, and flys away. The modern hanging however has turned into a 40 minute comedy extravaganza of parodies, toilet humor, pop culture, pyrotechniques, and gore.

In one of the "Bird Cage" melodrama's the name of the Riverboat was the "Cordelia K" and "Cordy's Corner" in the heart of the Roaring 20's area (now the Boardwalk) is named for Cordelia.

Answer: John Wayne

John Wayne was on hand to christen the ride in on opening day on July 11, 1969. It was the first ride of its kind and very well themed. It's still fun all these years later. There is a laser at a couple hidden locations that look for someone to break the beam to signal a loud recorded voice "Sit Down". If you have a boat full of enlightened riders who know just where the beams are, you can wave your hands in the air safely, and break the beam multiple times causing a cool "s-s-s-s-s-s-s-Sit Down" Don't even think of really standing up though! Always be safe and follow the park rules wherever you are!

From Quiz Knott's Scary Farm Halloween Haunt

Answer: Carnival of the Carnivorous Clowns

Carnival of the Carnivorous Clowns first premiered in 2000 near the once abandoned Windjammer. It had an extremely long run (6 years), and only changed locations once, when construction began on Xcellerator, the location changed to the Buffalo Nickel Arcade. Eventually 2005 was the last run for this maze for two reasons. One, the theme has exhausted and the maze was old. Two, the Buffalo Nickel Arcade was about to be torn down and replaced with a Johnny Rockets, and with that done, the clowns would no longer have a home.

Answer: Corkscrew

Arrow built the Matterhorn at Disneyland in 1959, but it did not go upside down. Revolution at Magic Mountain was the first with a vertical loop. Knott's had the Corkscrew in 1975 that was the first upside Arrow coaster and started the roller coaster boom once again after some lean years in the 50's and 60's. Of course Montezooma's Revenge is a shuttle loop coaster at Knott's but came later on and is still running today.

Answer: Knott's Beary Tales

Knott's Beary Tales was one of the most endearing dark rides ever. You rode in a cute little car through meadows and forests and saw the bears preparing their famous Boysenberry Pie and Jam while frogs jumped and a sly old fox tried to steal the pies. Many of the figures from this ride were moved to the fun house in Camp Snoopy and entertained kids there for many years until Charlie Brown's gang kicked them out for good.

Answer: The Haunted Shack

Sadly, the Haunted Shack was torn down in 2000 because of termite infestation and poor condition. Once down, a thrill ride was built in its place, Vertigo, later to become Scream Swing. The Haunted Shack in its early days usually held toxic waste and alien themes, but was changed to have Curse of the Werewolf in the late 90's. The very last maze to be featured here before it was torn down was Deadman's Wharf.
