lol ... the front page of that site reads like an actual LB! "Whereas, whereas, whereas, whereas......"

I'm puzzled why this project never came to fruition... The site looks pretty legit :shock:

It doesn't at all look like a Jr. High class project.

I assume his amusement park never got off the ground in Pennsylvania either?

This about the time when the graphic artists here weigh in with talk about how pixelated the fonts on the site are, or something like that.

I ran across Port Nebraska's yesterday and asked if he gave up on his dream. I got an almost immediate response....

We have not given up on Port Nebraska. We have had other priorities that we are working on. We will be getting back to the Nebraska project at a later date.

I'm not one to never say never, but this project having any chance is about as close to a never as you'll find, lol..

There is a reason the term "Minarded" resonates so clearly with folks who have contributed regularly over the years on this forum...

I wonder if Mr. Minard is disguising himself as a band of Indians now? Down in Foley, Alabama, a band of Indians just announced that they are going to build an amusement park that is more upscale than Six Flags, leaning more towards being Disney-like. The amusement park when it opens, will have more than 20 rides and one of the biggest roller coasters in the Southeast. They haven't broke ground yet, but expect the amusement park to be open by Memorial Day weekend. I wonder if it will have a 3 story merry-go-round too?

Welcome to the three feathers amusement park!

The giant roller coaster is next to the Smoke Shop. The cheap booze shop is on the other side of the log ride. The casino is right next to the merry go round (in fact, we use the merrygoround as a betting wheel. We get the RPMs up and bet on which kid looses it first...

Don't forget about the hotel. What goes on in the wigwams, stays in the wigwams.

Speaking of this amusement park project, I found this video on an old thumb drive in a folder dated 2003. I've never linked a video before... Hope it works.

My kids and I were at the Children's Museum when an employee asked us if we would like a private sneak preview of the Amusement Park exhibit that would be opening soon. We all got to go upstairs and play with the ramps and such. It was a bit of unexpected fun.

So if you search Minard up on Linked In, it shows he's the president of Wild Escape in Iowa. Wasn't that supposed to be some other amusement park?

Supposed to be indeed. He seemed to have a lot of these planned, here is one for Wheeling, WV.

I wonder how much he was able to bilk from local investors here. He really is the Simpson’s monorail guy.

I'm sure he's gotten a lot from a lot of people. He always seemed like a slimy crook. Isn't he the reason the '60-90 days' was coined on this site?

60-90 days was Jason Townsend during the Wallstreet Tower era
