It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to all our customers and friends.
Effectively Immediately FTT will be closed, at least temporarily, until further notice.
Most of you have seen Terry around the Park. He was the vision behind FTT. The man who founded and built this place. Terry was a hard-working man whom loved to play even harder.
To get a project of this size off the ground, financial backing was required. This was not Terry’s strong suit. His strengths were building and running the Park. But, as most of you know, the one who holds the wallet pulls the strings.
As a result, we have come to the sad realization that our legs were cut-off even before FTT’s doors were opened. Since then, we did everything humanely possible to make FTT a success. The echoes of Terry’s big, kind and loving heart will always be here as this place was his life’s dream come true.
You might hear a million different stories why FTTE so abruptly had to close its doors. I cannot control the rumor-mill, but I can tell you, this didn’t happen due to lack of any effort by my family. We poured all of our hearts and souls into making this place a safe, fun, weekend destination for everyone. Sadly, not everyone involved shared our dedication, grit and “do what-ever-it-takes” attitude.
Some people found it better to close-up shop when things got tough. So, at this point, all we can do is ask everyone to remember the “good ol’ days” and FTT for what Terry built it to be.
It has been a pleasure to be a part of this venture and I will treasure every friendship and memory created from FTT.
Ride Safe! -Tiffanie Cooke-Cool"
The future is unknown for the part, but NDA will miss it dearly.
