In March, we were the first to tell you about American Heritage Railways taking over the Wild West theme park.
Now, the new leaseholder tells KGUN 9 it will reopen the park Saturday, October 1, more than two years after it closed. "We've spent a lot of time down here dealing with the infrastructure of the park," said Director of Production Mike May."We're putting in a new network system in, we're reinstalling the sound system, we're reinstalling the lighting system. We've been working with the county to get all of the kitchens re-up to code and remodeled.""We are going to reopen the park officially with Nightfall as the grand reopening," May said.
May says American Heritage Railways is now putting out a call for Nightfall actors, with auditions coming soon. "July 8th through 10th," said May."Probably mostly on-site here at Old Tucson. Probably at a few other locations around the city."American Heritage Railways officials confirm actors will earn between $14 and $20 an hour, with supervisors, directors and managers earning more.Pat Parris is an anchor and reporter for KGUN 9.
