Amusement Park- Wichita Ks
1ST PROTEST VIDEO
If there is enough public outcry maybe the city will begin to work with Joyland.
Did you know that :
1.The city has a permanent injunction on any outdoor entertainment or music.Under the injunction Joyland cannot have live entertainment , bands or dances at the park.According to what they told the park this includes louie the mannequin who has played the parks wurlitzer style 160 organ since 1950. The Joyland organ is one of only two mammoth organs still in existence , and the only one in public view.
A victory! Gary Rebenstorf said in the Wichita Business Journal that they could play the organ!Now that its in print it will be hard to back out of.

2.The city promised to promote the park on all city media websites,help with city signs and tourism promotions.No promotions were given and they were not allowed to place a sign near the highway.
3.Contrary to popular belief ,Jim Skelton doesn't have an open door policy.When called over a three week period he never returned a call.
4.The city seems dedicated to seeing Joyland fail at every turn. From not allowing entertainment or advertising to outright not communicating with them.
5.Even after saying in a recent email he would meet with Michael and Robert Mayor Brewer still won't communicate with them.
6.Michael and Roberts only option now Is the 42 Million lawsuit against the City and the Nelsons.Whats worth more : an open park or 42 million out of our pockets?
Please call the city and ask them WHY?
Why can't they have any outdoor entertainment?
Why won't they communicate?
Why do they want Joyland to Fail?
Why wont they work things out instead of facing a 42 million lawsuit?
