Park News - (1/9/12) It sounds like bad news for Alabama Adventure. According to the local news the park has been sold by the current owners (Adrenaline Family Entertainment) to a new company formed by the former owner, Kent Lemasters called General Attractions LLC. Lemasters also owns another company by the name of Southland Entertainment who owns 175 acres of land surrounding the theme park area as well.
    While this doesn’t sound like “bad news” on the surface, information sent in to Screamscape by an insider claims that the new ownership group’s plan for the property is to close down the theme park and only operate the water park once again. Things could change, but so far there seems to be no plan to make any kind of new attraction addition to the waterpark for 2012 either.  Now that the purchase deal has been finalized, apparently a good number of the full time management staff has been let go (GM, several Directors, ride maintenance team, etc…) as well.
    (8/15/11) Amusement Today reports that Adrenaline Family Entertainment is seeking to sell off the two parks (Clementon Park and Alabama Adventure) they oversee for PE Partner, a private equity funds manager.
    (6/20/11) Negative-G has posted a trip report from Alabama Adventure this week. Check it out.
    (6/13/11) In the aftermath of the near-riot at Alabama Adventure, the local news reports that the park has beefed up security and has cancelled a $10 admission promotion that also likely helped contribute to the excessive rowdy crowds on that day.
    (6/8/11) According to this article there was a near riot inside the Alabama Adventure theme park, resulting in numerous fights all over the property and the local law enforcement being called in to get things under control. There is even a video showing off one particular disturbance, which appeared to be between some guests and the games staff trying to maintain come kind of control, as the guests were running wild everywhere. (It is beyond me why some of our fellow human beings have decided that this is simply another form of acceptable behavior.)

2012 - Nothing is known at this time.
