In this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, we’re taking a little detour outside the gates of Knott’s Berry Farm to explore the mural that brightens the Beach Boulevard tunnel. This massive artwork pays tribute to Knott’s past and present, with nods to beloved attractions like Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, Calico Mine Ride, Timber Mountain Log Ride, and GhostRider, as well as iconic characters including Sad-Eye Joe, Handsome Brady and Whiskey Bill, Whittles, the Catawampus, and even the Calico Belles.
The mural also honors the people who bring the park to life, with employees from each land represented, including a touching tribute to a fan-favorite performer who passed away in 2024.
From boysenberry bushes and Independence Hall to Montezooma’s Revenge and HangTime, this mural is a true celebration of 100 years of Knott’s Berry Farm history. We’ll walk through the mural scene by scene, uncovering the stories behind every detail.
Whether you’re a lifelong Knott’s fan or just discovering its hidden treasures, this episode is your guided tour through one of the park’s most colorful tributes.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
