Shutting Down!

I was just reading a small theme park located in Florida. The theme park is called Cypress Gardens is located south of Orlando. The park has been open since 1936, which was sold buy the original owners in 1985. The park changed hands a few times after that. I read that the park once employed almost 800 employees. When they closed their doors for good they had less than 100 employees. Hard times and problems with a settlement with an insurance company to cover damages from a hurricane hit caused the closer. Now it’s time to get the shipping boxes packed and ready to move on. It’s just another sad end to a happy place for many people. I did read that the current owners have said that they have several potential buyers. So maybe the park will reopen under a new owners and resume their tradition of offering a family fun spot.
