Info:We found a park in Iowa called Arnold's Park. They were in the same boat as Joyland is. They turned the park over to a museum and made it a non-profit organization. Then they held a telethon to raise money. Within the fundraiser they raised $9 million. The town that the park is in has a ...population of 3,000. So with our population and all of the supporters of Joyland I think this could be a real possibility for us.
Thank you

^This really sucks. I know, money usually wins out - but it's not until later that people see that.
Poor little 'nightmare' coaster. What a beautiful ride.
^You got to ride Nightmare, Billy? Joyland was one of the parks I had yet to get to, but still had hope for....like Whalom, or Bell's (actually made the parking lot at Bell's, but a small tornado had beaten us there).
Sadly, it seems like Bell's may be the only one even in a negotiating position at this point...
The Nelson's have given up the ghost and started cleaning house. It's been confirmed that Joyland Louie has been sold to a collector.
