- Officials said the shuttered park will not return and they will pursue an entertainment-focused mixed-use plan with restaurants, shops, hotels and other venues.

- The site near Bowie closed in November 2025 after about 50 years of operation, and the former rides covered only about one-fifth of the land now slated for redevelopment.
