They could also do the Desperado thing where it needs to fill like 12 seats for them to send the train so they would only need like 2 dispatches per hour. ... actually just buy Desperado. It’s stupid, it’s huge and it sucks so it would work well here I feel. Total cohesion. Edit: Please nobody take this post seriously and come here nerding out about track welds or something I don’t care. if they moved it to Canada, would they need to change out the I-Sux topper track?

coasterbill Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Honestly I can’t believe they haven’t closed yet. They have a ton of land within walking distance of Niagara Falls that’s probably worth an unreal amount of money and they’re using it for a dying amusement park that nobody likes. It’s bigger than the entire Clifton Hill section of the tourist area of town. You could fit so many hotel rooms / casinos / whatever that it’s just insane to me that they own this much land within walking distance of the falls and they’re using it for... this.

coasterbill Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 They could be richer if they sold it to a developer and they built a casino, luxury townhomes and 137 Tim Hortons locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricklap77 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think it was John Holer's dream to build a park from scratch. Since he passed in 2018 the family keeps it as he would have wished. More money doesn't mean much when you have so much. That park is like their home. I think the family has great plans for the future and is not shy on investing a lot into the park.

ricklap77 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I was actually at the park 2 days after John passed. Several old employees were saying that John was a good man and boss to work for and that he loved his park so much. I was told that they had been getting offers from Sea World and Disney to purchase the park. But the park just isn't for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I was told that they had been getting offers from Sea World and Disney to purchase the park.Holy Jesus. Something in the water up here....Now that I think about it, Disney could go for a two park resort, Fantasy Island is available and less than 15 min away. Just saying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly they had a campground called "King Waldorfs" that apparently got sold, stayed at it once it was alright. Good for the price and for a night in the camper, didn't do the pool. Mostly walked around Niagara. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g154998-d252849-Reviews-King_Waldorf_s-Niagara_Falls_Ontario.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you purposely not include a link to where you got this info because its exactly one former employee claiming on his twitter that this is all happening with absolutely no actual evidence to back it up? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he's right? but seriously, I trust the Dippin Dots pushcart stand operator more than this zero credibility guy who clearly has an axe to grind with the park.
