According to terms of the three-year partnership, San Diego County’s nine Toyota dealers collectively become the title presenter of the San Diego beach-themed water park through the 2001 season. Knott’s Soak City U.S.A. signage and collateral materials will incorporate the Toyota logo and Toyota vehicles will be prominently displayed inside the 32-acre park. Joint retail promotional programs between the two entities also will be explored.

“Like Toyota, Knott’s Soak City U.S.A. is closely tying itself into the San Diego community,” explained Jim Fornaca, treasurer of the San Diego County Dealers Association. “We see it as a nice fit.”

Knott’s Berry Farm has maintained a sponsorship relationship with Southern California Toyota Dealer Association since 1995.

Knott’s Berry Farm owner Cedar Fair, L.P. acquired White Water Canyon in December 1999 and immediately began a redevelopment effort to bring it up to Knott’s quality standards. In addition to a new name and theme inspired by the 1950s and 1960s San Diego coast, visitors will find lower admission prices and aggressive, Southern California-wide discount promotions. Coronado Express, an all-new family raft ride, will debut at the park in mid-June.
