Sky Cabin opened in 1974 as part of the former Roaring 20s area.
Originally, the ride was once the tallest structure in all of Orange County.
The ride formerly shared its space with another previous ride: Parachute drop.
Sky Tower riders were previously able to ascend up in the slow viewing cabin while also witnessing parachutes ascending and dropping 150 feet in the air.
Parachute drop was later removed from the park during the early 2000s.
On December 30, 2016, Sky Cabin was involved in an incident.
Sky Cabin became stuck at 96 feet in the air causing riders to become stranded in the air for 8 hours.
After being closed for all of 2017 and 1 month and 10 days of 2018 for months of a detailed inspection, review and minor operating adjustments to the ride, Sky Cabin reopened Feb 10, 2018.
The ride received a new ride control system along with a hidden emergency, new speakers, new air conditioning and window covers.
The tower is topped by a giant lit "K" sign, in the style of Knott's Berry Farm's logotype.
The original 1970s-era neon sign was replaced with an identical LED sign in June 2020, during the park's extended closure due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
