A little off topic...
Great America in Santa Clara used to cause gridlock around the park with their Fourth of July fireworks show. Cedar Fair bought Great America (now California's Great America) and they no longer have fireworks on the Fourth of July since the purchase. From what I heard, the CF management felt that they did not need to have the fireworks on the Fourth to fill the park, so they do shows on Memorial Day and Labor Day instead.

I worked at a company a block from Great America. We'd go to work the day after the 4th and find the parking lots completely covered with trash. It got so bad the police blocked access to all the side streets around the park.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

WRONG!
I did google Knott's Berry Farm this morning. Yes, fire works are a go.
Another entertainment group bought out Cedar Fair a few years back.
Main Streeter, you were right. The last time I saw daily fireworks was about 10 years ago. I will get the correct name from Rob when I can. :)

Ok, I went back to see about the other owner.
Dec. 2009, Apollo Management would acquire Cedar fair units and the company would become a private underneath the management group . Apollo backed out of Cedar Fair April 6, 2010. Cedar Fair now runs Knott's.

I grew up going to Great America and yep - I remember it being crazy on 4th of July. Best experience I had there was when Microsoft rented the park out one night during the annual Game Developers Conference and we were able to ride with no crowds or craziness. It was awesome.

Thus the deterioration of Knott's will continue unabated. :mad:

I hadnt thought of that, might have to get her one. of course she will probably kill me for it. I told her I was getting her a thing called "Go Girl" and I'm not talking about the drink, do an internet search and you will see what it is. She told me if I did I would die.
