^Any source quote to prove that? In the past two seasons investors and management have made tons of promises about this park's success that haven't come true.

I really hope that the park makes it for at least another season, but between the $5 tickets, the unpaid contractors, the park's location and the management involved, I have very little reason to hold my breath.
