I just commented that I hope people were able to get in there and remove some of the more memorable items before he managed to destroy everything. You wonder how many people responded when they get an invitation from a crazy person to come on out to isolated area and take whatever they want. I think I might have been a bit nervous. LOL

      Who knows--maybe someone who's interested in that stuff can go up and get them. I mean, even the old owner told the public they could take what they wanted, and they'd be better off rather then just left there. I'd like if they were able to rescue the old piano/organ and stuff as well. A little love to the woodwork and some tuning maybe and blammo!

    Funtown still has a web site up. I also found some news articles. He lost most of his buisnesses but still runs a festival. He had manic bipolar disorder and went off his meds and lost 2 buisnesses. Pretty sad story. Apparently he is back on meds and doing better now. It was already Guntown mountain before he bought it and turned it into Funtown mountain. Funtown mountain even has a youtube channel haha.

It's actually in pretty good condition all things considered. I hope someone who can restore it snags it soon because it's far more rare than a Showbiz Pizza or Chuck-E-Cheese animatronic.
