Knott’s Berry Farm’s long-forgotten second gate was a unique theme park that featured a lush tropical setting and peculiar exhibits. Guests can sometimes get a glimpse into the studio’s Stage 18, which once housed production for Legends of the Hidden Temple, during the holiday season for the annual Grinch-mas celebration. The property went on to house a residency of the Blue Man Group, but that since closed and the building now sits quietly just steps from the theme park. Over 2,000 episodes were filmed at the studio, which was closed for good in 2005.

During its heyday, parkgoers enjoyed live performances from country music stars, classic amusement rides, and a recreated Old West town. And guests couldn’t just drive up and park at the gates - they had to take either a 3,370-foot-long chair lift or an inclined funicular railway to reach the theme park.
