RailRider Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Orlando Sentinel Tampabays 10 Cypress Gardens to close once again, this time for 4 months. Although from the sounds of the news I wonder if they will reopen. If and when the reopen it will be as a waterpark only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hate to lose all those rides, but hopefully that have a downscaled selection including the Starliner. After all that effort to dismantle it from Miracle Strip, store it, then rebuild at Cypress, now this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hmmmm....going to a smaller footprint and ending the amusement rides area after an ownership change. Sure does sound familiar. And the ending for either story remains to be seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sounds very familiar, is there a lake involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Well, in both cases, certainly the investors got soaked under one or more of the owners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like to search Rides 4-U and ocassionaly stumble across something interesting. Well there are 4 pages of Rides from Cypress Gardens as part of the liquidation. Rides 4-U Even the Starliner is listed. I am quite shocked that it is every ride within the park. I believe the writing is on the wall for this park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the writing is on the wall for this park. They are also on Ital International's website. This makes me sad, I really liked Cypress Gardens, and it seems that they just keep shooting themselves in their feet. The ski show itself is awesome. And the rides are very family oriented. It is a beautiful park! http://italintl.com/Cypress-Gardens-Amusement-Rides.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
