For those that don't know about Bowcraft, it's a historic park in north New Jersey which was an easy pit stop for a Jersey shore run. According to the article, the park will get demolished for a new housing project. They have two roller coasters; a Zierer and a small family coaster. Hopefully they both find new homes.

What a shame! Always sad when a park closes; were they having financial difficulties in the years leading up to now?

That's a shame. I hope Crossbow gets relocated (preferably to Tayto Park).

Bowcraft had been going out of business for the last ten years or so and was continuously about to close at the end of each season.... I'm honestly surprised it made it this long. I visited once, in 2006 when Crossbow had just opened. Place was a ghost town.

Ditto. I hit it in 2008 and we rode Crossbow numerous times in a row without getting up. Sucks but not a surprise.
