No one expects universal quality in Springfield lol, but it hasn't been updated and you can tell.

Yeah it is showing it's age, but I just don't like the way this whole situation is being handled by the city. I really really do not understand what good another park is gonna do. I do hope that they can set up the haunted house somewhere else in town at least. Seeing that Halloween stuff always brightens my day, a hell of a lot more than anything else downtown at least. And I feel like that speaks volumes.

It's not just a park they are day lighting the water way that started this town and returning it to its natural bio diversity. This will add so much more value to the city then a cheep scare open one time a year. They have give the owner plenty of opportunity to sell or move operations. Now because they are having the value assessed it will likely be much less then what the owner would want. It sucks and I understand the sentimental value that the owner is putting on it. He's had it for a long time and put a lot of work in to it, but it's not safe plenty of people have been hurt because of missing safety precautions. I would love to see it open somewhere else but the childish way the owner is handling it is a bit sad.

You’re telling me the owner should’ve excepted the first offer of $200,000? Enlighten me on where he could relocate, move everything and be centrally located for $200,000. No fucking way that could happen.
