I know this may be a bit off but here goes anyhow: I wonder if the new owner is going to sell off any of the things that he is going to demolish. More than anything, I'm talking about like turnstyles and things of that nature.-----------------
Earlier this year while in the area to attend Stark Raven Mad, me and a few buddies roamed around Old Indiana and took some pictures. There was really nothing left to salvage. Bit and pieces of some rides in a field and lots of grass. Very few signs that this was once a theme park.And if there was a big steel recycling facility here in Houston, they probably would have melted down the Astroneedle by now - but it's still in the Astroworld boneyard (never made it to Mexico).

As for the slaughtering of animals, their slaughterd by the 1000's everyday. Were all are just desensitized from it. We go to the store and buy ground beef, steaks, chicken and whatever else without thinking it was once an animal. We just see the packages they come in and grab it. Meat is meat wether it comes from a cow, deer, chicken, or whatever else.Like Cartman said on South Park, "Look at that calf, it looks delicious!"
Not everyone thinks like this, and I'd caution you against such assumptions. My tofu hasn't been murdered at any point in the past.

Personally, I could care less about what others eat. Not being a vegetarian myself, I would hunt a chicken down & beat its' brains out, but that's just me, but I would feel bad if I paid for the privelidge to have 80 hungry chickens freed up to chase some corn then be greeted by my .22! As a rule, I cannot eat anything bigger than me, it just seems wrong. If you're going to end the life of an animal, use it! AND, be bigger than pay to kill. Trust me, there's planty of places to kill animals without going to a kill park.
"I never got the point of those pay fishing places either. They load the
ponds up with way too many fish. You cast your line and basicly snag a
fish. Some of them you have to keep everything you catch too. " They run over & club your fish so you have to take what you catch, then charge you by the pound for the meat! Do they do this in the kill parks?
No you pay by the hunt wheteher you get soemthing or not.
As a hunter and former farm boy I guess I just fail to see what the big deal is. Now if the meat is not used I agree that its not good but seiing as how it is all used whats the big deal? Many hunters donate a lot of the meat they get from hunting to charity and it is given to poor families. they are glad to have it.
I eat deer steaks all year long and love them, no different then a chicken leg, a hamburger, or a slice of bacon.
I said it once I'll say it again, It's all wether you kill it or someone else does.
If someone is a vegetarian, more power too them. But just as you would not ask me to judge you I ask that you not judge me for hunting.

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)
Many of the rides there were from Opryland. Were the majority of them? Sigh It's sad that they'll probably be scraped now, never to run again.
The trains for black widow where there, but I never saw any trains for the Opryland rides. At least none were in any of the pics I've seen. Nor were the Delta Demon's, or Flume Zoom's (which I assume was from Opryland). Where were they?
Heck if I had a big enough land (and enough money), I'd buy and set one up in my back yard just to look at.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a bone yard were all defunct thrill rides are sent and set up?
They club the fish....who has that job?
Hi, my name is Joe...and I club fish to death for a living.....yes....I, being of adult size brutally club all the 2 pound fish to death with my trusty caveman club. You never know when a fish may turn on you...we must take pre-emptive action to prevent this from happenning in the future, even though we have no solid proof the fish have created weapons. We must remove the King fish first...this will allow the peasant fish to revolt and build a new leadership.

I was acting like kind of a smarty pants a mitute ago and I'm feeling bad because of it. The truth is I'm just disapointed that this had to end like this. I suppose that a housing development would have been as bad, but if I had the money this guy has I'd open the place as an amusement park again. He spent 100,000 on a fence; he must be loaded. Some people don't share my vision I suppose.
My hope is now dead for this place. I have kept it alive for so long.

Yeah, that's called SFAW.
