The Evolution of Carwardine Parks

1994

 * By late 1994, Chris Carwardine was trying to sell off the chain to any company they can get their hands on - Cedar Fair, they rejected it, Disney, they rejected it, Six Flags, they rejected it, Anheiser-Busch, they rejected it, Universal Studios, they rejected it, Herschend, they rejected it, Marriott, they rejected it, Kennywood Entertainment, they approved it, but Chris rejected it once they realized they were planning to buy it out to move the rides to their other parks and demolish the parks, but they still needed a new owner, which would come the very next year.

1995

 * In February 1995, Chris approached a newly founded company, DreamWorks SKG, if they could buy the parks, DreamWorks approved, at a price tag of $20 million, Carwardine Parks was sold to DreamWorks, Carwardine Colony Real Estate fully went defunct, with FairCon being migrated on the division tree from Carwardine Colony Real Estate to Carwardine Parks, the last remnant of the old company, thus making FairCon owned by DreamWorks, Maestro Stadium was handed over to be managed by Chris's children, the under construction Civic Center would be sold to Wayne Carwardine II, who saw the property's potential, and most notably, the original real estate agency was sold to Berkshire Hathaway.
 * In DreamWorks' freshman year of operation, a half dozen coasters were added, American Arrow at Carwardine Colony, Aussie Dragon at Adventure Acres Down Under, which is now Entertainment Park Down Under, Roller Derby at Kid's World, Virtual Coaster at Billings' Wild Kingdom, Mega Man: The Ride at Centerpoint Park, and Donkey Kong's Coaster Country at Billings' Wild Kingdom, thus having 6 new coasters, with Billings' Wild Kingdom having 2 new. Due to a contractual obligation, 3 of them were made by Vekoma, with two of the others being relocations and the odd one out being a wooden coaster by CCI, since Vekoma didn't make wooden coasters at the time.
