Wild West World, north of Wichita, Kansas, has closed just about two months after opening.
The bankruptcy leaves hundreds of unpaid creditors — including Park City,
which is owed more than $2 million for industrial revenue bonds and other
equipment — in a lurch. The bankruptcy filing lists millions more owed to banks,
ride manufacturers, vendors and season ticket holders.Chief executive Thomas Etheredge once estimated that the destination theme
park, just off Interstate 135 in Park City, would draw a half million visitors.
The mock frontier town attraction offered 24 rides on 40 acres.
The article refers to the park as a "$30 million destination". $30 million can’t get you a major themed attraction at a Disney theme park.
