Actually, given the amount of money Knott's is making off the festivals, I fully believe they would be running still.The guidelines are brutal. If I were a business owner in the surrounding area I would be very concerned with my future.
I think you're being overly optimistic that by mid-March COVID will be under control. The problem with California's guidelines is what happens if you open and the county you're in slips out of phase four. It's very costly to resume operations only to be shut down again.
The rules California has put in place are asinine.
If the parks can hold a food and beverage festival then there is absolutely no good reason why they can't resume normal operations. You have to be crazy to think that a food and beverage festival, where guests will be routinely removing their masks to consume the products is safer than riding a ride where you will be wearing a mask. It's pure stupidity that only an elected official can concoct. California claims they're all about the science. Their actions suggest otherwise.
I believe parks like Knott's tried the festivals with the belief that they would have resumed normal operations by now. If they had been aware that they wouldn't be open by now I don't think you'd have a food and beverage festival going on.
You folks in California have created this anti-business and anti-common-sense situation. I hope you're enjoying the fruits of your choices.
I was the person who guessed Nov 10th. I win. What's my prize?
I felt really cynical voting for that late a date at that time. Who knew?
Okay, having caught up on today's news.....time for me to toss in a new bid for 'Opening Day Bingo'.

Or
July 18th, 2021 ( or has someone already suggested this one? )

I'm trying to stay optimistic. I can't imagine where we would be if DL is NOT reopened by next summer.As strange and sad as it is to say now, a lot would have to be going right in the world for the park to re-open by July 17, 2021.
We should be so lucky.
