astroworldfan1 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 When Neverland was open, didn't Snow White and the Seven Dwarf's walking around and shaking hands? Wouldn't that be a Copyright Infringment? MJ using Disney Characters?? When my family went to Dollywood, I asked my Dad. "Is Dolly Pardon the only celebrity that owns a theme park"? And my Dad said no, "Michael Jackson owns one, but he doesn't ride the rides. He rides the little boys"! -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm sure those master trip planners Robb & Elissa will get this one in on the 2009 TPR West Coast Trip, though everyone will have to dress up in little sailor suits and look real young.

VivaLaVibora Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Not many rides to really sell off. It's probably better just to use scraps of it for other supplies. No!! A beautiful Chance Zipper is a Chance Zipper. Don't let it get junked. It's probably okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rideslover Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Whoa! What is heck with all rides are gone? Check it out. I seen a few old pictures of Neverland Ranch has two past rides as Wipeout and Falling Star so they removed in long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I suppose they were sold off? If MJ is getting that low on money, it may have been one of his last options. -Gary T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astroworldfan1 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Maybe SFGAdv bought them to replace most of the flatrides they've removed. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrew Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Y'know, the sad thing about Neverland is that it actually looked like a really nice small park. I don't think MJ was exactly the ideal amusement park owner, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjensen Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hard to imagine the time and effort that went into maintaining his little park. Every picture i've seen (excluding those more recent ones) the park was immaculate. No doubt he's more than a little strange, but it sure was a lot of effort for a private park. I guess it was a labor of love. Do you think that every ride there required that you be under 13 to ride??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't think MJ was exactly the ideal amusement park owner, though. He probably built it for all the wrong reasons as well, considering his "preferences". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'd hate to think what the payment would be for a season pass to the Neverland Ranch. I was amazed that the Neverland Ranch has a listing on RCDB, that Dragon Wagon looks tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 ^ I'm pretty sure it was your typical Dragon Wagon you find at most traveling fairs. In fact it looked like most of the rides there were brought in by a local carnival company and I'm sure that's where they've gone back to! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think the aerial photgraphs on rcdb made it look a lot smaller but I'm sure it's standard. It's not like Michael got a custom coaster that only little boys (or adults built like little boys) could fit on. Some carnie might be out there claiming to that this is the Michael Jackson coaster and he's not lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm wondering...If some park or traveling "carnival" company buys the rides, will they publicly say who theybought the rides from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumChild Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 That would be awesome if Carowinds could get their trains back. I wonder if the trains still say E.P.H as in Earl Patterson Hall. He founded Carowinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Apparently he is having an auction. http://www.juliensauctions.com./auctions/2009/michael-jackson/catalog-list.html Don't know what amusements are included as the catalog isn't posted yet. Can't imagine it would include any rides, probably pinball machines and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 ^It's the rides. It's random personal crap. I don't even think the rides are anywhere close to working order anymore, since they haven't been touched since 2005 (or whenever it was he had to release all his staff).
