Knott's Berry Farm
Buena Park, California
In 1928, Cordelia Knott's tea room and berry market, named Knott's Berry Place, opened on their family farm. In 1932, Walter Knott created a new berry, a cross between the red raspberry, blackberry and loganberry. He named it the boysenberry, in honor of his friend Rudolph Boysen.. Two years later, Mrs. Knott began serving her famous chicken dinners. Since then, more than 200 million guests have visited the park. The park was acquired by Cedar Fair, L.P. in 1997. Knott's Soak City, USA, a 13-acre water park adjacent to the amusement park, opened in June of 2000.
Jammer (1997-1999) was torn down due to several problems. (See pictures below)
Corkscrew (1975-1989) was built by Arrow and named for its two corkscrew loops. It was the first modern coaster with an inversion. It now runs at Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho.
Wacky Soap Box Racers (1976-1996) was a steeplechase ride built by Arrow. This unique ride had normal coaster cars for several years, but it also had motorcycles on the tracks for a while!
