malem Posted January 8, 2017 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

TombRaiderFTW Posted January 10, 2017 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
jcgoble3 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Yes, I know that. But this thread is about Cedar Fair and Knott's Berry Farm, not Knoebels. Quote
malem Posted January 10, 2017 Author 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
SonofBaconator Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Okay anyone down for bidding on the Jennie K with me? Quote

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
Magenta Lizard Posted January 12, 2017 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
