American Adventures, the Atlanta area small amusement park in Marietta, GA, recently announced its closure via the park’s website. “Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closed until further notice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.” The park was built as an addition to Six Flags White Water. Starting in May 2008 Zuma Holdings began leasing the park. Six Flags season pass holders did not have included admission to American Adventures with their season passes. The park had moved from paid admission to the pay per ride option.

Elvis favorite Zippin Pippin meets its endPosted February 2nd, 2010 at 12:06 am in News by Leo COn Thursday crews began dismantling the Zippin Pippin rollercoaster at the former Libertyland amusement park in Memphis, TN. Work crews are clearing the land for redevelopment. Libertyland closed in October 2005. Zippin Pippin stood without maintenance exposed to the elements since then, rotting away. In November crews removed a small portion of the coaster ride to determine if it was salvageable. An expert told the city of Memphis that it would take millions of dollars to restore or rebuild the ride to bring it back to an operating condition.

Stratosphere to debut SkyJump, 855 free fall experiencePosted January 11th, 2010 at 11:45 pm in News by Leo CGamblers in Las Vegas will soon have the ability to take the fall off the 1,149-foot Stratosphere tower and hotel. The hotel that has made its name offering an observation tower with unique over the top thrill rides will add a 855 foot freefall experience called SkyJump Las Vegas. Thrill seekers will be able to take a controlled freefall from the top of Stratosphere tower to a landing platform located on the second level. SkyJump would join Big Shot, Insanity, and X-Scream at the top of the tower. Based on a similiar experience off the Auckland Sky Tower in New Zealand the $3 million SkyJump Las Vegas began construction this month. It is expected to debut in April with a rider cost of $100. Guide wires will keep riders from slamming into the concrete structure of the 100 story Stratosphere as they descend. |
Today, Six Flags announced as it is moving through its restructuring process that it will reject the lease of Kentucky Kingdom from the Kentucky State Fair Board and that the park will close immediately.
Good news out of Charlotte has been somewhat hard to come by these days. With the financial fallout of Bank of America and Wachovia, which were both headquartered in the Queen City until Wells Fargo stepped in and bought Wachovia, the city has been reeling from the effects of numerous layoffs and cutbacks by the banks.
For several years the Coaster Wars raged between Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain. One park would always try to top the other in the design of their new ride and on top of that try and take the coveted title of the park with the most coasters in the world. Well, I guess you could say the war was just taking a ceasefire, as Six Flags has thrown down the gauntlet and added two coasters within two years.
