Since then nothing has been done to the site which has allowed Mother Nature to take over.

The park's owner is Dania Woody LLC which cited "business reasons" for ceasing operations but it is thought the high cost of maintaining a wooden roller coaster in Florida's warm climate and low ridership may have been a factor.

Though is was later states that the company had filed for bankruptcy.

Prior to the whole park closes, the Dania Beach Boomers and Hurricane Rollercoaster was closed in April 2011.

The 3,200 foot long roller coaster was opened in November 2000 and was the largest wooden roller coaster in Florida.

It has been reported that Aventura-based developer, Master Development, had a contract on the land to build a development which will include shops, a hotel, restaurants and apartments.

Developers are planning a complex called The Landings at Dania Beach, a £250 million-plus project including big-box retail stores, casual and formal restaurants, at least one hotel, apartments and possibly condos and offices.

It is a joint venture of Master Development, Salzman Real Estate Advisors of Dania Beach and the New York-based Kimco real estate investment trust.

Plans to tear down the roller coaster were postponed because signing leases and getting city approvals for the shopping centre were more important.
