It seems a little silly this morning to make another attempt at analyzing the latest plot twist in the here-today, gone-tomorrow, back-on-Friday story that is Wild West World.
In fact, I’m thinking of proposing a one-line ticker to run across the bottom of Kansas.com, rather like those weather bulletin trailers: “From the Eagleland Bankruptcy-plex …”
So in that spirit, here’s today’s bit of plagiarized wisdom on the theme park story that just won’t go away: “What we have here … is a failure to communicate.”
I’m not going to sit here and predict who the lucky (?) buyer of the park will be. But I will tell you that Jerry Murphy and his group are now out on a substantial limb, telling the Eagle Thursday that they’re going to make every effort to close their $2 million deal to buy and revive the park.
Am I certain that will happen? No. But it’s quite a limb, isn’t it?
