Oh My God!! Thank GOD no roller coasters were damaged!! That would really suck!!

Perhaps someone should look at the structures of the remaining buildings so nothing like this fire can duplicate during the operational year.

Wow that's pretty crazy, I'm pretty sure I've been in those buildings before and it's weird that I won't get to again...but, when they say the park is closed for the season, does that mean the season of winter or the 2010 operating season? They weren't too clear on that....

I appreciate all the concern tugging the heart of the demon poster. :P

I'm glad it is just contained to just buildings. It will probably become a big fence off construction zone now. They can rebuild that like the devastation that occurred at Universal Studios Hollywood two years ago. When I make it to the Upper Midwest DHollon told me to stop at Adventureland so I hope for a speedy recovery.

I bet they will open for the regular season. I read that section didn't have sprinklers or smoke detectors. Generally it sounded like a bingo parlor and a toy store burned.

Park will be open for the 2010 season at the end of April as scheduled.
There are plans already underway to try to get this block of buildings rebuilt before opening day.
