Peony Park

that's what we're here to do.

We'll end on the note that started it a bit, but Peony Park to go back to that and no disrespect meant to Funplex, but it's not the same as what Peony Park was.

And even, I mean, going back well before my time, what Peony Park had been with the dances and the social last year.

Yeah, it was just a huge element in Omaha's social scene for decades.

Why can't a kind of amusement park that's in that lot, why can't it work here? It does work here.

Yes.

and we were talking before and you asked if i was familiar with peony park which was a cherished part of growing up as a little boy here in the 80s and yeah into the 90s as i was it did mean a lot so we sort of halted that but tell me about how peony park played into scary acres

peony Peeny Park was kind of the beginning of our story.

Truly, this is a family owned and run operation since the beginning.

we're a family of entrepreneurs and they saw something in my dad and commissioned him to turn that into like the train of terror.

Right.

So Peony Park's version of like a Halloween ride.

Yeah.

I will say, though, I learned that Scary Acres opened at its current location in 2002, but its history goes all the way back to 1993, and the team behind it ran the train of terror at

Peony Park.

I remember that.

So I don't – I mean, obviously, I wasn't there for that, but did you ever go to Payne Park for that? I did.

I'm absolutely terrible with names.

Dungeon of the Damned in the Old Market, Scary Acres, which is OG.

That actually, that's on 172nd and Giles, and that's been around for a while and even has history back to Peony Park, which is interesting to talk about.

And Ranch of Terror at the Bellevue Berry Farm.

So those are some places you can go.

Okay, so Scary Acres, 172nd and Giles.

I remember when it opened up out there, and I kind of live semi-close to the area, but it dates back to like the 1993.

It was called Train of Terror, which was at Peony Park, OG Peony Park, just a couple of years before it was tore down.

So a little lore there.
