Old Indiana theme park in Boone County gains momentum
John Price, attorney for Old Indiana, told Lebanon Rotary Club the project remains solid with a $28 million London investment trust and recent land acquisitions totaling about $550,000. He noted a close closing on additional land at SR 47 and I 65, outlined park features including 17 major rides and a mono-rail, and described plans for a canal walkway and centralized food service to cut costs. Construction timing remains weather dependent, with work expected this summer and hotel and oil company interest already pursued.
