Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I don't know the reasons why they couldn't pony up, but it is very sad to see happy places go down like this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 That is sad, I was really cheering for this park especially since Starliner used to promoted as being rebuilt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 See the disclaimer. There's nearly certainly more to this than stated. See also Louisville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So why if the rent payment had not been paid in over a year, is the owner of the property just now forcing them out? What kind of disagreement did they have with the operators that made them want to get ride of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 There was allegedly a sale of the park underway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I wonder if maybe they over expanded the park too quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Nope. If you saw it, and at least one user here did this summer, you'd not say that. I'd say it was being fixed up to flip and the sale didn't go through quickly enough or fell through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Guess I can stop looking for Starliner updates :-( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 In my opinion as a first-time guest to PCB this summer, there is absolutely a market there for a small park like this... ...but not in the condition that Miracle Strip was in when I visited. Unfortunately, there was a lot of work that needed to be done here, and it was evident during my trip to Miracle Strip that there wasn't enough invested to get a quality park going. The location was fantastic, the scene was fantastic, but the park itself needed some love. The re-construction of the Starliner coaster was being heavily promoted in the area, but there wasn't a hair of construction going on (even though it was supposed to be open in 2015). PCB is a luxury area. When people go, they want to have a fun, upscale experience. Miracle Strip was fun for an enthusiast and first-time visitor, but didn't fit the stereotypical PCB vibe. It needed investment, and there wasn't much there.Hopefully the historic, traditional rides are able to be saved and moved elsewhere. Their one roller coaster, a 1970 Galaxy, was a lot of fun. The area surrounding the park was beautiful and well-kept. The park itself? Not so much. At the height of PCB's vacationer season in late July, and on a Friday night, there were maybe 50 people in the park. Maybe. That says all that needs to be said. If any of you have questions for someone who was able to go to Miracle Strip earlier this season, I will do my best to answer what I can. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The original was much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
