Bonzai Beach at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

In 2009, maintenance crews at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom begun dismantling Chang, the park's stand-up coaster. To build excitement, a new banner placed on the site proclaimed the area was "Under Funstruction!" Weeks later, it was announced that Bonzai Beach, a new water park expansion area, was being added to the existing Splashwater Kingdom.

Then, on Feburary 4th, 2010, Six Flags announced that Kentucky Kingdom would neither longer be operated by Six Flags, nor would not open for the upcoming season. Later, Ed Hart, one of the former owners of the park, is working to bring back the park with expanded offerings. Bonzai Beach may be built one day after all, but clearly not by Six Flags.
