The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Deciding Guntown Mountain's Future: http://m.glasgowdailytimes.com/news/deciding-guntown-mountain-s-future/article_56099a56-9ade-11e4-b197-dbd588a99d08.html?mode=jqm Chairlift: no passengers. Roller coasters? Funtown? I can't decide whether to cheer him on or hope for a better buyer. 3 Quote
NoChickens Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 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. 2 Quote

The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 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. Quote

Dieseltech20 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 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. 3 Quote

NoChickens Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 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. 1 Quote

Vortex lover Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I hate to see the place like this, I have fond memories as a child when I got to be the magicians assistant. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 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. 2 Quote
