As you may know if you’ve been following the news stories about Kentucky Kingdom, our company recently received approval from the state of Kentucky for the lease to operate the theme park and we are now engaged in a 90-day assessment period which began at the end of January.  During this time, we will compile, review, and refine the cost estimates for all of the work that must be done to reopen Kentucky Kingdom, as well as nail down some remaining details with the state and local governments and finalize our financing package.  With confidence that everything will come together, we have begun to mobilize our team, though we are still in the early stages.  Our key technical services and managerial staff have been on site at Kentucky Kingdom since early February.  

Our office has received a great number of calls, e-mails and mailed correspondence with respect to working at the park or doing business with the park.  Please see the guidelines below for submission of information.  We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this initial start-up phase of the new Kentucky Kingdom.
