My mother has a health problem.

My mother found out last week that she has a large tumor in her colon.  We go back to the doctor this coming Wednesday to see if it is cancer. I'm asking all of you to please say a prayer for my mother. Thanks, Odell and family.

Press Release: Beech Bend Park named Park of the Year Receives other honors at Amusement Today’s Golden Ticket Awards!

Most coaster enthusiasts, park-goers, and other prominent leaders in the amusement industry alike commonly refer to Amusement Today’s (AT’s) Golden Ticket Awards as the “Oscars” of the amusement park business.  Each year, every amusement/theme park in the entire world competes for these highly prestigious golden tickets, in categories ranging from best park ride, to best roller coaster (steel and wood), and Park of the Year.
This year, the prestigious ceremony was held at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, and park manager Charlotte Gonzalez and her son, Reed Gonzalez, attended the event representing Beech Bend on September 10-11.  Among others parks present were Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, Kings Island, Knoebels, Six Flags, and Universal Studios.
Beech Bend was very active at the Golden Ticket Awards, and received a Golden Ticket for PARK OF THE YEAR!  Beech Bend is honored to be named the Publisher’s Pick Park of the Year!  The Park of the Year is a very prestigious award given to one different park in the world every year.  The Park of the Year is a chosen for a variety of reasons.  Due to the disastrous flood waters in May, and because of park owner Dallas Jones’ health complications in February and March, the additions to Splash Lagoon did not open when expected, instead nearly two months later.  It has been rough, as we and our loyal guests know, but now Splash Lagoon is running full force.
Being named Park of the Year comes with it a prestigious award, an actual “Golden Ticket.”  This is Beech Bend Park’s first ever Golden Ticket, with many more sure to come in the future.  Not only is Beech Bend named Park of the Year, but it also remains in the Top 5 friendliest parks in the world for the fourth straight year.  The Kentucky Rumbler moves up a spot to number 16 in the rankings for all wooden roller coasters in the world in 2010.  Ever since its opening in 2006, the Kentucky Rumbler has been ranked in the top 20 wooden roller coasters every year. 
We thank everyone who has helped us achieve this wonderful milestone, and those who continue to support us as one of the friendliest parks in the world!  We will continue to grow and keep customer satisfaction a number one priority!
Reed Gonzalez, Beech Bend Park

Coming this weekend!
