RailRider Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looks like the permits are finally almost complete. WTRF.COM Still pushing ahead with the park, Im amazed honestly at how this plan and place keep hanging around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I think if it gets built it will be closed in a shorter time than it's taking to get it built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 You would think they might have learned SOMETHING from Hard Rock Park. Besides, this "the permits are nearly final" news is not news...and has been going on for some time. Look back here, over a month ago: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...hl=Wild++Escape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Learn SOMETHING,,, ha, this whole plane from day one has been we are different, we are better, we are not effected, the park will go on. Every single park that has opened and failed has the same mindset and rather than deal with the issues pushing against success they continue to move on. Out of sight, out of mind.

The Interpreter Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 FINALLY, a new mention of Wild Escape, but it ain't official, ain't very hopeful, appears in a bad context and at the very end of an article: ...And the national economic problems are trickling down to the Northern Panhandle and the tri-state area, he said. "Growth at The Highlands in 2009 probably will not be as large - and be a little more hand-picked - as things are slowing down to some degree," he continued. "I'd like to see the theme park (the planned Wild Escape) take off. ... As you sit back and look at it, I think we've done a pretty good job there. We're still looking at light industrial businesses for there, and our eyes and ear are always open. But it has to be a fit for the folks who live here." http://www.theintelligencer.net/page/conte.../id/518985.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Update on Wild Escape, yet still no permits in hand. Inteligencer; Wheeling News Register After our recent trip to Oglebay Resort in Wheeling and a trip to the Highlands and Cabellas before heading home I honestly see that as being a really good location for a park, but with as long as this has taken Im not holding my breath.

KIBeast Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thrill_Biscuit, you always come through with something that just makes me laugh. Hard Rock Park WV? Except HRP was actually built. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 So did those permits ever get issued? Guess not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
