The iconic attraction's origin stems from a handshake agreement in 1959 between Knott's founder, Walter Knott, and theme park pioneer Bud Hurlbut. Knott worked in mines around the turn of the century in the Calico region of San Bernardino County and he strived to make the attraction as realistic as possible.

The park's Camp Snoopy has also been upgraded with three new rides.
