When did the farm start?

[edit]

Knott's is cerebrating their 100 year anniversary,[1][2][3][4] so I decided to see if we can replace "in the 1920s" with a more exact date. I found a primary source for December of 1920.[5] Does anyone have a reliable secondary source for this? --Guy Macon (talk) 15:19, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found several sources that say Knott leased the property in 1920; none that include a specific month. Google Books lists several books about Knott's Berry Farm but they don't have any of the text online. I think it's likely that any source that says December 1920 would have gotten that information from them, and as it's a noncontentious minor fact, the primary source should be sufficient.

I have found a source that comes from an article about the history of the farm/theme park from the official company and it says that the farm was founded in December 1920

Yes, but the source specifically says that Walter Knott moved in December 1920 and began farming berries, but he did open a roadside stand until 1923. The article also states that a permanent market and tea room opened in 1927. That year should be the start of the "park".JlACEer (talk) 15:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prescott, AZ...

[edit]

...is emphatically NOT a ghost town. I doubt it ever was. It's NEAR famous ghost towns of Arizona, some of which have become tourist attractions, like Jerome, Arizona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.53.241.145 (talkcontribs)

You're right, I've removed it. Schazjmd (talk) 19:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hang time infinity coaster

[edit]

This says it’s the only infinity coaster in the US. Adventureland in Des Moines Iowa has one as well 2600:1700:9700:2090:F9F1:14E:C96A:51BF (talk) 21:34, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
