In 2014, Travel Channel rated Knoebels one of their Top 10 Family Friendly Amusement Parks in the United States.
Knoebel turned the property into a popular picnic destination, attracting Sunday travelers and horse-drawn hayride wagons.
Since then, the park has developed around the pool, adding over 50 rides, assorted games, concession stands, and other attractions.
The flood destroyed six cottages and damaged many other buildings, including 24 of the park's 25 rides, as well as the roller rink.
Although the January 1996 flood left substantial damage, the worst occurred after the waters receded, when everything froze, making cleanup and repair throughout the amusement park difficult.
The September 2004 flood, caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ivan, was only a half-day affair, and the amusement park partially reopened by mid-afternoon.
[4] On September 7, 2011, Knoebels experienced another flood, this time caused by Tropical Storm Lee.
Visitors are able to ride the park's attractions by purchasing either pay-one-price, all-day/unlimited-access wristbands (which are not usually available on weekends, except near the beginning and end of each season), limited-access hand stamps, or books of tickets, with hand stamp costs varying depending on the height of the rider.
Knoebels has several hand stamp options, such as "Sundown Plan" and "Bargain Nights", when the park offers discounts on regular ride passes.
Knoebels all-day passes do not include the Haunted Mansion or the Crystal Pool, which are additional fees.
Knoebels' two main wooden roller coasters are well known, with Phoenix consistently rated in top ten lists and Twister ranking high as well.
[10] A regular stop for this show is Parc d'attractions Luna Park, in la Palmyre.
[11] This ride was built in 1947, and was purchased from the Playland amusement park in San Antonio, Texas.
This ride was purchased from the Playland amusement park in New York, where it operated under the same name before being moved to Knoebels.
It was purchased on January 26, 1942 from Riverside Park in Piscataway Township, New Jersey, for $4,000 (equal to $76,978 today) and relocated to Knoebels.
[32] Knoebels Three Ponds Golf Course is located on Pennsylvania Route 487, roughly a quarter mile from the park and campground.
[34] In 1999, an attorney representing two girls who sustained injuries while riding Speed Slide discovered 15 injuries had been reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Ride and Measurement Standards in recent years.
