Comment: This needs more sourcing to establish notability. I also share the concerns of KylieTastic, as 2021 has not yet begun and 2020 has shown that things are extremely prone to change. There's no guarantee that any of the openings or changing of location (for the rides) will occur, given how things played out this year. For example, the ride "Knott's Bear-y Tales: Return to the Fair" is postponed until the park feels that it's safe to open. Given that there's a new strain coming through of COVID, the grand opening is still up in the air. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:11, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
