Adventureland acquired by Palace Entertainment

Posted | Contributed by PhantomTails

Adventureland, Iowa’s largest theme park and a Des Moines metro landmark for almost 50 years, is being sold to the U.S. subsidiary of a global theme park operator. Officials of Pittsburgh-based Palace Entertainment, owned by Parques Reunidos in Madrid, Spain, announced the sale Tuesday. They did not disclose the price.

Interestingly, the legal liabilities for the Raging River accident apparently are not transferring to Parques Reunidos. The Krantz family may yet be wiped out entirely....

I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.

I was wondering about that. Seems like a huge liability to take on in a purchase.

Maybe it's one reason that they sold. Even if they personally go bankrupt, at least the legacy of their family will be able to live on in others' hands.
