To start with, let me share with you the origin of Knott's Berry Farm. It was named after Cordelia Knott, who was a good cook. In 1934, she started to sell fried chicken to support her family. Surprisingly, her fired chicken have gained the favor of local people. More and more people are waiting to buy her fried chicken. So she came up with the brilliant idea that maybe some old west-themed attractions can be added to entertain the customers. Later that place gradually grew into a park. For over 70 years, the small park has developed into Knott's Berry Farm today.

Knott's Berry Farm Rides here are classified into 5 categories. They are Roller Coasters, Thrill Rides, Children's Rides, Family Rides and Water Rides. Among the major 40 rides, some are aggressive thrill such as Supreme Scream, Screamin's Swing, Rip Ride and more. And there are the best hair-raising roller coasters in the country. That's why we call it Knott's Scary Farm. Be prepared when you try the aggressive thrill ones.
