Summary
Saturday’s planned social-media teen takeover at Knott’s Berry Farm prompted Buena Park Police to issue a public safety alert and promise a heightened law-enforcement presence with zero tolerance for crime or disruption.
Police said they have worked with park officials and other public-safety partners to identify organizers of the unauthorized gathering ahead of July 11.
Knott’s will enforce its chaperone policy that day, requiring guests 15 and younger to be accompanied by an adult age 21 or older.
The warning follows similar incidents at U.S. amusement venues, including more than 1,000 youths swarming Orlando’s Icon Park in April and 37 arrests after Fourth of July unrest in Newport Beach.
