Kansas.com Original Article »March 02, 2008 A Tulsa carnival company has signed a letter of intent to buy Wild West World for $2 million. Spectacular Attractions, doing business as Murphy Brothers Exposition in Tulsa, also plans to spend $4.2 million to reopen the bankrupt park with about 35 mobile and permanent rides. The entire $6.2 million deal -- which would include the park's 98 acres and existing buildings -- would be financed by industrial revenue bonds issued by the city of Park City. The park is north of Wichita along I-135. A sale contract -- pending for six weeks -- remains unsigned as negotiations between Spectacular Attractions and lenders in the bankruptcy case continue, according to sources close to the park's bankruptcy. Thomas Etheredge opened Wild West World, a $30 million western-themed amusement park, on May 5. He closed it and declared bankruptcy on July 9, leaving behind $24 million in debt. Most of the park's rides have been removed and a series of auctions disposed of the remaining items. |
