  (5/8/08) An update about the Murphy Bros. plans to take over Wild West World can be read here. Amonsgt the other information, they mention that when Wild West World reopens it will have at least one or two coasters. Oh… it wont be Wild West World either, they want to distance themselves from what name as quickly as possible. To help the locals feel a new sense of ownership and pride in the park, they may put up a “Name the Park” contest to choose a new name.
  (5/1/08) For many, the closing of Wild West World is still somewhat of a mystery, with many assuming that the man behind it all was just trying to rip people off somehow, even though he seems to have lost everything as well. The local news has posted a story and a timeline rundown showing off the true story as to how things went so sour so quickly, revealing that the troubles started long before the park ever opened.
  (3/26/08) Spectacular Attractions (Murphy Bros. Exposition) has signed a $2 million contract to buy Wild West World. Everyone seems to be in agreement, so it’s up to a judge to give final approval of the deal which could then close by May 31st. 
  (3/3/08) Spectacular Attractions, a carnival company run by the Tulsa based Murphy Brothers Expo has made an offer of $2 million to buy Wild West World. Their plan is to drop an extra $4.2 million to reopen the park and install 35 various rides, both portable and permanent.
  (1/25/08) The latest report on the reported $12 million bid to buy Wild West World is that they are in series of offers and counteroffers to see if they can find a price all parties will agree too.
  (1/7/08) According to the latest headlines, all but one of Wild West World’s 24 rides has been sold to new owners, generating $3.2 million to go towards paying off the park’s debts. So far only the Fiesta Mexicana ride (Zamperla Sombrero) remains unsold. Sounds like lots of parks really made out on Wild West World’s misfortune since it’s impossible to buy 23 almost new rides for anywhere near $3.2 million.
  (7/10/07) Just two short months after it opened, Wild West World has closed their doors, shut down the park and filed for bankruptcy.
