FUN FACT: the museum board quietly reaches out to their contacts at parks and park chains about potential vehicle preservation all the time.

It’s sensitive, thankless work…but it’s worth it to keep history alive.

We’re working on a slate of preservation projects now and hope to announce them soon.

All this, in addition to our infrastructure work at the museum site in Texas.

Let’s keep saving history together, thoosie fam. ❤️

We are devastated to learn about the passing today of Dolly Parton.

A friend of the attractions industry, icon in the music world and more importantly: one of the most philanthropic human beings to ever grace this Earth.

Rest in power, Dolly. The world has lost a star in the truest sense.

“It’s time to travel at the speed of fright!”

Our Big Bad Wolf display just got a whole lot cooler thanks to this donated crew uniform from our friends at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and (new to us) mannequin.

Did you have the honor of donning this dapper-looking uniform?
