BUENA PARK – For the second consecutive day, Knott’s Berry Farm is closed because of rain.

Not opening the park is a rare step for Knott’s officials, occurring on average only once or twice a year, spokesman Jason Soyster said.

Playing into the decision is that it is a weekday in January, not a peak time for the park.

Knott’s officials figure the rain would shoo away potential guests as well, and those who showed up would have found many rides shuttered because of the rain, hindering their experience.
