KENTUCKY KINGDOM TO CLOSE
ChuckR:
SFKK wasn't that bad, I wish I did the waterpark when I was there. It sucks for all the locals around the park though...
Let's hope we get some flats out of it though!

This article quotes a representative of the fair board who contends the rides belong to the fair board, or at least some of them do:
--- Quote ---...Harold Workman, Ky. Fair Board President, said, “Six Flags removed the Chang rollercoaster ride. They requested they able to remove it through me they requested that under the pretense that they were going to expand the water park and after showing me diagrams and pictures of what they were going to expand and what they were going to add and so on. So, we're a little disappointed in the fact they removed a ride but never really moved on expanding the water park.”
He said that at that point, the way the lease is worded makes it sounds like Chang could have belonged to the Fair Board because it is affixed to the ground.
Workman says Six Flags wanted to pay no rent for nine years remaining on the lease. The offer also included a share of profits, if there was any.

It's one month before school's out, and there are no signs that the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom property could reopen for the summer.
Legal hurdles are in the way -- hurdles that started with a lease dispute and still leave an uncertain future for the Louisville economy and hundreds of potential workers.
Walk to the front gate of what used to be Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, and you'll see the "U" is missing from the sign.
And "you" likely won't be enjoying a ride or a dip in the pools here any time soon....
No one wants to touch anything, until the question of who owns the rides is decided.
