Wow, that's too bad. I get the feeling that Mr. Bonfante wanted to do a little more than just build a park. I wonder how he's doing financially. He sunk quite a chunk of change in the place.
I suspect he did OK. It doesn't sound like he's leaving out of regret. I mean, he had the vision, he built it, it lives on. If he's one of those entrepreneurial types, like everyone else in that area, I bet he's ready to move on to the next thing.
However, last I heard, he lives in Branson now. If parks and entertainment doesn't interest him anymore, seems like a curious place to live.
Think we could see Bonfante-Branson Gardens in the future? ;)
