I am with SGT. Fox...this park wants to create a 9% inside the park tax revenue to have the visitors to the park pay for their venture...its a good thing the House of Representatives of Arizona are looking out for the people of Arizona...
There is another theme park being considered in the area...it is called Coyote Canyon Theme Park, Coyote City Walk and Resort Hotel...this is being accomplished through private funds...

Theme park faces opposition in House

A bill to help finance a theme park proposed for the Pinal County community of Eloy (Decades) faces stiff opposition in the state House.
The bill has already been approved by the Senate but representative after representative rose during debate Thursday to denounce the proposal as an improper mixing of government and business.
The bill would create a special district that would have the power to levy taxes (9%) on transactions in the theme park so that the tax revenue would be used to repay private investors.
Legislators differ on whether there'd be any risk to the state or Eloy taxpayers, but supporters of the bill call it a potentially valuable economic development tool.
The bill awaits action by the full House.
