[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5914]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The undamaged elevator of the roller coaster at Springlake is pictured here through the charred timbers of a portion of the amusement park's facilities that were destroyed in an early morning fire Thursday. Despite the fire which damaged the park in excess of $50,000, "the show will go on," Ron Staton, manager and one of the owners, declared Thursday, indicating that the park will open on as scheduled May 31. Destroyed in the blaze were the fun house, the roller coaster terminal, the electric scooter racing link and the shooting gallery. Staton pointed out the fire was confined to only one section of the park leaving other facilities undamaged. The fire razed sections of the roller link and the other destroyed buildings will be replaced just as soon as it "can be done witht the best materials," Staton said, declaring that the operators of the park will go slow in the replacement work in order to do the best possible job of reconstructing the loss. The fire started early Thursday morning when lightning struck an electric conduit on the "Big Dipper."
