I don't think he did. I think he wanted to get to that total with help.

This is terrible news for the Louisville area, and great news for Holiday World!


My gut feeling is the fair board looks at KK as a golden goose and want way more than it's worth for rent. I know SF was paying well over a million a year.

They need to just open the place as just a waterpark. That was the money maker for the property and it costs alot less with less overhead. Everytime I went there, it was the waterpark that was crowded while the dry rides really had no lines.
