Bell's Amusement Park RebuildDespite all of that, we still managed to finish with our best year ever! We had great plans for the next season; everything seemed to be coming together. For reasons that I believe were political, our lease was not renewed. We were informed of this on the last day of our season, and we were given 6 months to vacate. Imagine the loss of money in infrastructure, foundation, electrical, etc. A link to the story is here: http://www.batesline.com/archives/2006/11/for-bells-the-b.html. Well, we are undeterred. We have a small 5 kiddie ride operation running right now, and we are planning on adding back our Tilt-A-Whirl, another Eli Bridge Ferris Wheel, a miniature golf course, concessions, Scrambler, Spider, 2 Merry Go Rounds, and some games + redemption. We are seeking some assistance through social media and crowd funding. (We own nearly all of the rides from our previous location, so we are just seeking the funds to put them back up) We have had GREAT success with Facebook. We grew to 20,000 fans in a weekend! We have also launched a crowdfunding campaign through Indiegogo. We are 10 days in, and we have raised $5,000. We are shooting for $60,000; this will allow us to put up the rides I mentioned above. The best part is .. every dollar gets you a ride ticket. There are other great perks as well! We would so appreciate your help in spreading the news, and if possible making a contribution. We also plan on putting up our roller coaster named Zingo, our dark ride we called the Phantasmagoria, the Himalaya, the Log Ride, and many others in the years to come. Please feel free to contact us via Facebook, and visit our website.

Re: Bell's Amusement Park RebuildLooks good! Will Zingo be built by Gravity Group? or M&V?
At least we know it won't be very ghetto! I am autistic, I hope you can respect that, My Youtube Channel>www.youtube.com/channel/UCNRDiZ9nW-YaYSTHmGD82Tg?feature=watch

Been you to have any spike, man?
Re: Bell's Amusement Park Rebuild
I disagree. Why would you want to curse a park that's trying to get back up and running with a woodie that hasn't operated in several years that has a questionable past as it is. Doesn't the park still have Zingo in storage? I'd rather see them re-build a ride that their own community could embrace than one from Ohio that no one in the area would have any attachment to. Sorry, but people really just need to "let go" of Big Dipper. --Robb Re: Bell's Amusement Park RebuildWhat is that Eli Bridge - Storm Damage ride? It looks so messed up.
Re: Bell's Amusement Park Rebuild
Post was tongue-in-cheek. Been you to have any spike, man?
Re: Bell's Amusement Park Rebuild
LOL! At first I had to do a double take. Re: Bell's Amusement Park RebuildHope that Bell finds a new location.
That battle with the fairgrounds lease sounds caustic. Parks I've been to: Knoebels, Dorney Park, King's Dominion, Hersheypark, Darien Lake, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, Dutch Wonderland, Six Flags Great Adventure
Coasters I've ridden Big Thunder Mountain (Disney World), Phoenix, Black Diamond
Re: Bell's Amusement Park RebuildI live in Tulsa and I am happy to see Jason finally getting the word out that Bells is coming back. What happen to them at the fair grounds was unfair in my opinion and took away a great place and history from Tulsa. The Zingo still sits in storage just waiting for the day it's able to be put back together and I hope he is successful in his attempt to get the funds needed. I put my money in towards it.
