Thats not good for WindSeeker for sure! Hope all is good

floorless would be good too!

Maybe its going to Coney????

But whomever the owners are why let it still sit there is beyond me?

Yes the Risks far exceed the rides.

This is an interesting announcement? Gaylord was such a great company.

My Plan to refurbish all the rides, by the 56 acres of land from the fair board, at a reasonable rate, or move out in jefferson county all the attractions buy about 150 acres, and try to build a successful park. Thats if I had a lot of money to pour into it.

If you were the new leasor of Kentucky Kingdom what would be your five year plan? What would you negotiate with the KY State Fair Board? Cannot wait to hear your thoughts?

If Louisville is in the need for a park trust me I enjoyed the kingdom, why doesn't someone with deep pockets buy the park, well the problem is its never going to be theres leased land, and rides that are the state fair board. I don't know about holiday world doing all this to kill competition besides Mr. hart, it was sitting there rotting!

Interesting thread continues, lets hope for the best, Yes Ed hart never paid for what he put in but he did make a whale of a sale. I'm hoping for the best , For the 2nd Louisville park that would close if this does not work out. I don't see too many other operators that would even take this on. Fontaine Ferry Park was an amusement park in Louisville, Kentucky from 1905 to 1969. Located in Louisville's West End on 64 acres (260,000 m2), it offered over 50 rides and attractions, as well as a swimming pool, skating rink and theatre. The most popular attraction were its wooden roller coasters, of which 4 were built over the years.

Me too ? Where is the animation?

Hold the horses save space spiral and DD. https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Save-Disaster-Transport-and-Space-Spiral-at-Cedar-Point/359497527438035

Just seemed a bit ago they were going to refurb the ride?

A record breaker now on the West Coast? http://fb.me/1uU9Q0FWD

So true, of a statement

We'll just not hold our breaths, but whatever and if the Koch's do reopen Bluegrass Boardwalk in 2014 or beyond it will be great!

Whatever Cedar Point will do will be incredible.

For family friendly attractions to leave it does not make sense, removing DT will open the beach, Whatever Cedar Point does will be remarkable, interesting how the entrance will be to the park, forever changes, could this mean even moving the carousel?

Those articles are interesting for sure:

If the Kochs cannot get this completed could anyone I doubt it, they have built a empire in the middle of no where and want to bring the charm of HW to Louisville and Kentucky!

another ride would be great by flight deck a couple flats could not hurt in Action Zone. SCREAM ZONE would be a great name

It sounds as if the Fair Board has done nothing for the protection of buildings or the rides. Yes the Koch's should be concerned. Also the ferris wheel would be great and capacity is incredible to open when the park opens. The water stuff sounds bad with the pumps and such too. It seems the fair board should have done something with these rides.

What is Cedar Fair doing up North? And yes its a elephant in the middle of the midway, for SOB.

Is this thread for the new SOB coaster, different thread from whats next for SOB??? Oh my!

interesting!
