jzarley Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I’ve never watched your podcast before—it’s really enjoyable. I’m with Ryan that the requirement to not tear down the house seems like a weird thing to request. I wonder what the original sellers’ thinking was on that? I’m guessing it was some sort of homestead that had been in their family for a long time. I have a feeling that requirement would have a difficult time being enforced at this point—first of all, someone from the original sellers would have to care enough to mount a challenge. Plus, KI has been sold three times since the original Taft Broadcasting land purchases—I doubt if that stipulation was included in the sale to Carl Linder, then the sale to Paramount, then the sale to Cedar Fair. But, I guess at this point, what’s the point in spending the money tearing it down? It’s hidden away from view inside the fort, and it gives the park a nice bit of folklore (not to mention you guys a fun topic for your podcast ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t completely believe that clause either until Dennis Speigel said that he believed that it was true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU of all people, are advocating for removal of vegetation at a Six Flags park? I NEVER thought I'd see this day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used to be able to just make out the brick chimney. It hasn't been visible for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
