Chairlift: no passengers.

Roller coasters?

Funtown?

I can't decide whether to cheer him on or hope for a better buyer.

I have a few vague memories of that place. The chairlift ride up, and some shows at the top. I don't actually remember any rides, but it was a long time ago. I really can't see keeping the nostalgia, while changing the entire theme of the place. Maybe I'm missing something.

They already have 10,000 likes on Facebook after ten days, compare that to Kentucky Kingdoms 37,000 likes after being open for a full season
Edit terped again

Facebook and Kentucky Kingdom names are the intellectual property of their respective owners. As such, they are always capitalized here.

I'm waiting for someone to comment on the clowns.

Replace Cowboys with Clowns? Why? Most folks love Cowboys....Clowns on the other hand. Well, all I think of when I see one is John Wayne Gacy.

To a bright new day!

Maybe he can ask for tax dollars.

I am sure Beech Bend will be thrilled.

I am sure Veech Bend will be thrilled.

Veech Bend? Is that supposed to be Beech Bend?

Edited before your post hit.

CLOSED.

 Wow, very disjointed, and no real explanation. I'd have to lean toward a fair amount of drug use, and I doubt marijuana was the only one.

Foreclosure sale pending:

I hate to see the place like this, I have fond memories as a child when I got to be the magicians assistant.

I need to get down that way again at some point. I stopped at Mammoth Cave on my way back from Nashville a number of years ago but didn't have enough time to see all there is to see, and working nights and weekends makes it hard to take day trips.
