[edit] Why was so much removed?
I looked back through the history of this page, and this article used to be much longer -- with information about rides, history, even accidents that happened. It was referenced (mainly though web links) and at the very least gave interested parties something to work with. Was there any reason all of that got removed, besides that the park is currently being dismantled? Curtangel 16:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Feel free to add any encyclopedic material from older revisions back into the article. Pagrashtak 22:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Figured as much, I just didn't want to put it all back and then it be removed again.Curtangel 23:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Who keeps deleting everything? I've continually updated this article with the story of why Bell's closed, what it contained, and it's future, but someone feels the urge to delete it all. This is why Wikipedia just doesn't work.

I put a [citation needed] on the talk about backroom dealing. Not to say that it isn't true, but it doesn't cite any sources. It seems like it came out of nowhere, and that they didn't publicly lay the groundwork for Bell's eviction. But given that Bells was only paying a tiny $135k/year for such a large piece of land, I can see why someone would be so quick to pull the plug. That's nothing in real-estate terms. But Bells was a win for Tulsa, which has such a lack of entertainment options to begin with. This is a net loss to the area. --Anonymous 68.97.210.29 06:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
^Yeah, I need to get that citation up, I found that info in some KOTV reports, as well as on other Tulsa news programs. Sadly, much of that information has been destroyed, but there's enough to prove the point. Oh yeah, only $135,000? That may not sound like much, but that's more than what the water park and ballpark pay every year. Besides, if they had gotten that new roller coater and all those other new rides in, their payments would have doubled. Anyway, yeah, I'll get that citation up. - Supersteve
[edit] Why WAS so much removed?
This article looked like a pretty good amusement park article, complete with citations. There are lots of amusement park articles about defunct amusement parks, so the fact that this park lost its lease and its future is uncertain in no reason to delete the entire article. Several people above mentioned that information from previous versions can be reinstated, but I don't want to do that if someone is determined to kill the article. Can some tell me why this info was removed? Thanks --Tinned Elk 22:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
