Dixie Stampede update

Found this on the web. . . . Looks like a mall expansion killed it. They say they will reopen nearby but no word on where yet. . . .

Meanwhile the latest update about the sale of the Dixie Stampede confirms the sale of the attraction site to a division of the Simon Property Group who owns the Orlando Premium Outlet mall across the street. Dixie Stampede officials claim that the purchase offer was just too good to refuse and that they are looking for a new location in Orlando where they could build an all new Dixie Stampede.
(1/9/08) According to Screamscape sources, Dixie Stampede was bought out by the Prime Outlet Mall right across the street for a rumored price of approximately $23 million. Apparently they were quite eager to obtain the Dixie Stampede location to allow for some future expansion room for the mall which is always quite busy.
