A Wichita landmark has suffered another serious blow. Vandals struck the former Joyland Amusement Park in Southeast Wichita early Saturday.
Joyland owner Margaret Nelson tells KAKE News that someone called 911 overnight to report loud noises coming from inside the park. When police arrived, they found four people in the process of vandalizing various areas. All four were arrested.
Nelson says the office, ticket booths, and arcade have been destroyed.
"It makes us sick. We just cannot understand why someone would want to come out here and do this," says Nelson. "There's not anything of value out here anymore."
Nelson says anything that can be repaired will have to be paid for out her and her husband's own pocket.
