The Oklahoma-based owner of Alabama Adventure is considering selling the Bessemer amusement park, citing poor attendance this summer. The park blames a combination of 100-degree heat index weather over two weeks in early June, plus a continuation of a sluggish economy and fallout from the April 27 tornadoes.

100 degrees at a park which is very close to a dog food plant? No thanks. I could barely stand the smell when it was in the 80's.

I had a blast there this summer and had no olfactory issues. You have missed much...namely Rampage which is a kick ass ride.

Rampage is an amazing wooden coaster! You'll also recognize something that used to be towards the front of Cedar Point if they finally put it in... They have a few interesting water slides in the water park area as well. Its really not a bad little park.

I'm glad the fountain got new life instead of being scrapped.

Im up for trying it. We moved down here from Muncie, IN last year and had 3 great parks within a 4 hour drive (Cedar Point, Kings Island, and Holiday World). We miss not having a great selection of parks close by.
Ever hear of Indiana Beach? Just wonderin' ;)
Just when I had wagering on OTSR posts down to a science, you go and change the game.
