Shireland did re-open for a brief time in 1991, but rumor
has it that it did not make it through the entire
season.
It would be interesting to know why the park
didn't open in 1989 and 1990. I could speculate
that it had to do with the volatile nature of creator Thomas Smrt, and his inability
to employ and maintain a staff. I could equally speculate that
Smrt's impetuous nature sent him off on two other dozen projects,
causing him to lose interest.
Through it all, I am convinced that
Thomas Smrt could not, nor did not conceive, plan and develop this park on his own. If you
worked at Shireland and/or have any "behind-the-scenes" knowledge, please
contact me. You
can see a video (hear it, is a better term) that has some of the big-top
show music in it. It is a little hard to hear, because the
videographer wasn't in the big top. He was actually videotaping his
kids walking around another part of the park. PRESS
