• Well I was raised on Knott's. As a kid my dad took me on the train across the street & to Jungle island. Then as a teen I went to Cloud nine, then I worked there from 86 -91. Now I only go there once a year for the Halloween haunt. My heart breaks every year as something else is gone. Now I just read about the boot hill being bulldozed! No more beating heart! The shooting gallery too, gone! Ghost town is going, it used to strecth out to reflection lake now it's way smaller. I miss how by the side entrance there used to be a rock wall with bars that you could peek in from outside the park and wish you were inside. The devil by the volcano was so cool. I miss the shops outside, there were alot of them and I used to go all the time for dinner and shop around but now I dont go at all. Why would I go to Virginia's gift shop to buy mickey mouse stuff or eat at tgif? Stupid. No more steak house either. Oh for Jayman that asked the cloud nine dj's name it was craig. I was there dancing every saturday with the gothics. So much fun. If you remember me my name is Cher

• Well I vaguely remmeber Cloud 9. I was just a bit too young and its last days were when I was about in Jr. High. But it was a big thing back then. Didn't it have checkered floors? There was something alternative [the word didn't really even exist back then] cum new wave about it. I guess I'm applying sort of modern terminology to it, but the crowd struck me as sort of vampy to rockabilly-ish. Loud Depeche Mode pumping under blacklights and all that...

• Studio K was awesome. I remember dancing on the stage wearing my Guess overalls and my Ton-Sur-Ton shirt. A big group of us would go every Saturday night. Does anybody remember Videopolis at Disneyland? Never was as good as Studio K and Cloud 9.

• Does anyone remember the Rubber Band Man at cloud Nine. One of the best pop lockers ever. Saw Motley Crue at Cloud Nine. Studio K was fun also. We used to jump the fence to get in. Anyone remember the Green Karmen Ghia.

• Hi,
  I hung out at Studio K and Cloud 9 for many years as well!! Those are the best memories of time.I would dance all night around the years 84-87.Do you remember if your bangs were to high they would not let you in. We used to wait to go inside and then aqua net our bangs up high.I remember dancing on stage in Studio K with my black satin shirt and black leggings with tons of black eyeliner,oh those were the days!

• Oh yes, I remember Studio K. I am a lot older than most of the people that remember Studio K, but you see, I was the one who came up with the concept of Studio K.
  
  This concept was proposed in a memo dated February 11, 1984. I still have this memo framed in my office.
  
  We opened Studio K on Memorial Day Weekend 1984. The success was overwelming. She was credited with bring in an additional $2.5 million per year.
  
  I also ran Cloud 9, but cloud 9 never did near the numbers that were attributed to Studio K.
  
  The name Studio K came from a contest sponsored by Knotts prior to opening. The winner received a year pass to the park. I have the original plans in my office and they refer to this facility as:
  Teen Dance Area.
  
  I am also the person who suggested that Studio K be torn down when we approached the 90's. I could see that her days were numbered. She was now bringing in the wrong type of crowd.
  
  She had a good life. WHAT A RIDE!!!
