Dog Patch Usa Arkansa

Well this was a family adventure. We came up here to do a panel for the first ever Darknite Paracon. And it just so happen to be at this great place. It was getting hot and humid but it was a great day in my life. I got to meet a butch of Great people, and the park was great. There was alot of history here. The park has changed hands alot over the time. And now it sits in it former glory. Everything is pretty much the same but the building are old and the slide, Lawd lets not talk about the Creepy ass slide lol. All in out this was a great trip. Heres alittle history. Much love and happy hunting.

Thank you Wikipedia always a go to for information.

Dogpatch USA was a theme park located in northwest Arkansas along State Highway 7 between the cities of Harrison and Jasper, an area known today as Marble Falls. It was opened in 1968, and was based on the comic strip Li'l Abner, created by cartoonist Al Capp and set in a fictional village called Dogpatch. The property that comprised Dogpatch USA was leased in late 2017 to Heritage USA, Inc. and is being renovated to become the site of production and broadcast studios, and an RV park, hotel, theater and theme park. The new park is named Heritage USA Ozarks Resort at Historic Dogpatch, and is currently open while undergoing renovations.

Dogpatch USA was a commercial success in its early years. Investors tried to parlay that success into a sister park, "Marble Falls," planned with a ski resort and convention center. The venture failed and led to the park's closure in 1993. The property fell into disrepair. In August 2014, the park was purchased by Bud Pelsor and a business partner, who announced plans to restore the park and eventually re-open it. Beginning in December 2014, Pelsor opened the park to visitors for several events; these were the first occasions on which the park was open to visitors since its 1993 closing. In March 2016, Pelsor's business partner wanted to sell his share of the park, so the park was put up for sale again; however, Pelsor said he would be happy to maintain half-ownership in the park and sell the other half to a new business partner.
