malem Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Proving once and for all that Cedar Fair is not run by the Knoebels, Knott's Berry Farm is preparing to auction some of its warehoused memorabilia this March. The collection includes animatronics that have been retired from rides, Walter Knott's Ford Model T, Knott's Scary Farm props, and (most notably) the Jennie K locomotive.which formerly operated at Cedar Point. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/knott-740497-park-auction.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Knoebels is owned by the Knoebel family. Or maybe it's "Knoebels family"? I'm not really sure. Either way, people with a last name that's very similar to the park's name are who own the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yes, I know that. But this thread is about Cedar Fair and Knott's Berry Farm, not Knoebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 ^ Knoebels (owned by the Knoebel family) is known for holding on to a lot of its historical memorabilia. Knott's is getting ready to do the opposite; hopefully items go to collectors or parks who will take care of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested in donating, they put together a GofundeMe to help preserve Jennie K and bring her to back to Northern Ohio again. https://www.gofundme.com/save-jennie-k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If I win tonight's Ohio lottery I'll buy the Jennie K and bring her home to Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
