The Thrill Behind The Rides

"As far as the sound...we've gotten used to it," Palovik adds.

Usually, though, the sound is drowned out by the in-plant's busy presses as they churn out promotional material, menus, place mats, fliers and other material used to support the 150-acre theme park.

The in-plant, which opened in 1956, Palovik says, uses two Hamada presses—one with a T-head—and a pair of A.B.Dick 360s—one of which also sports a T-head. This lets the in-plant handle two-color and some short-run four-color jobs. All of Knott's Berry Farm's printing comes to the in-plant, and Palovik then farms out the larger, more complex jobs, such as park tickets and maps.
