Park News - (12/27/11) Magic Springs has found out their applications to expand the sites where it can sell beer and wine has been rejected, primarily due to objections from the local Hot Springs Mayor, Ruth Carney, who would rather see the park scale back instead. (4/21/11) Premier Rides has announced that their Premier Service division has had a team busy assisting Magic Springs get the park up and ready for the 2011 season. (4/20/11) A video report about Magic Springs new management by AMP brings the new owners in front of the camera to talk about the park and what kind of changes you can expect. An expanded season, extended hours, and a promise to open the park with all rides running. Sounds great to me. (3/1/11) I was sent a couple of interesting rumors about Magic Springs today. First off, our source says that the “tunnel” on Big Bad John is finally getting rebuilt and closed-in. They also tell us that the park’s Magic Swings ride may be on the way out of the park. Can anyone else confirm? (2/3/11) AMP has announced that Steve Honeycutt has been signed to serve as General Manager of Magic Springs. Steve comes to the park from his previous post at Elitch Gardens, where I believe he was just released last week when Herschend Family Entertainment took control of Elitch Gardens. (1/26/11) CNL has signed a deal for AMP (Amusement Management Partners, LLC) to take over the management operations of Magic Springs. AMP had previously signed on in early December to take over the management duties of CNL’s FECs as well.
