Double-wide?
I have a problem with the third to last sentence stating he lived in a double-wide trailer inside the park until he died. Who provided this information and where are the sources? I believe they are misinformed. GregM1565 9:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Political Importance
Knott was responsible for funding the 1964 television speech of Ronald Reagan endorsing Barry Goldwater (see Chapter 22, William F. Buckley, Flying High: Remembering Barry Goldwater (2008)). According to the Wikipedia article on the former president, this speech was "the event that lauched Reagan's political career." Thus Knott's arranging the financing seems pretty important and deserves mention.

I suspect Knott was a larger presence in Orange County conservative issues and in philanthrophy than the article suggests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk) 04:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The Knott family today no longer owns the theme park; it has since been sold to the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company.
Isn't the Knott family one of the biggest share holders of Cedar Fair? Maybe big enough to have controlling interest? Cousert (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:42, 11 June 2011 (UTC).

When did the farm start?
Knott's is cerebrating their 100 year anniversary, 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. Does anyone have a reliable secondary source for this? --Guy Macon (talk) 15:19, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
