A viral video with step-by-step instructions on how to sneak into a popular California theme park has caught the attention of authorities.
On May 20, two teenagers filmed themselves climbing a wall at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Vista and strolling into the park. The video was uploaded to video sharing platform TikTok and has since been viewed more than 1 million times.
In a statement, a representative said the theme park was aware of the incident and was actively working with police to bring the offenders to justice.
“Safety is always our top priority,” the statement read in part.
‘This behavior will not be tolerated, and anyone caught trespassing on Knott’s property may be arrested and permanently banned from the park.

“We have contacted the Buena Park Police Department and provided images of these two individuals and our security teams. We will continue to assess measures to protect the park and work with local authorities on these situations.”
Knott’s Berry Farm is the oldest theme park in the United States, spanning 57 acres and attracting more than 5 million visitors annually.
The violators were able to avoid paying the daily admission fee, which starts at about $60.
To make matters worse, this wasn’t their first stunt – and they’ve shared their antics online with more than 19,000 social media followers.

In February, they caught the attention of police when they sneaked into the Intuit Dome, the Clippers’ new arena in Inglewood, which is still under construction.
The resulting video showed them climbing ladders, shooting hoops and spraying a fire extinguisher on the field.

Inglewood Mayor James E. Butts said at the time that authorities believed they knew the identities of the teens and planned to contact their parents.
In California, trespassing is usually prosecuted as a misdemeanor, and a conviction carries a prison sentence of up to six months.
But this has not deterred the teenagers. Since February, they’ve been sneaking onto rooftops and jumping over a fence to gain entry to Rolling Loud, a music festival where tickets start at about $300.
Before attracting the attention of authorities and the media, they also filmed themselves entering Dodger and SoFi stadiums and another music festival called Hard Summer.
It is unclear if they have been charged for their past stunts or if charges have been filed against them in connection with the latest incident.
