Finance: Miracle Strip Amusement Park Sold

Posted at 12:58 AM EDT (0458 GMT)

Apr. 14th, 2004 -- This is the last season for Miracle Strip Amusement Park. The park is being sold to a developer who is interested in the waterfront property next to the county pier.

All rides and attractions will be removed within the year. There have been offers to buy some of the equipment to open another amusement park close by locally. However, since Waterfront is closing because it is not profitable, it would be just as difficult for an upstart park to open and make a profit.

The owners are not selling Shipwreck Island Water Park, and some employees will be transferred there.

What's with the Florida park closings? First Cypress Gardens, now Miracle Strip. Tourism must really be hurting.

I just hope they can keep the John Allen woodie, Starliner. That thing looks awesome.

I am tired of real estate coming in and taking all of these small amusement parks away.

First The Pavilion and now this!

Another part of Florida's Amusement History... gone. But hopefully the Starliner will be moved to a new location and reopened.

Darn. I hate hearing about smaller parks closing. I don't want to see amusement park monopolies (all owned by cedar fair, six flags, disney, etc...)
