Star Plunge closure

By
Thermopolis Independent Record, Jan. 16

The temporary closure of the Star Plunge this week is a much discussed and controversial topic in our community and elsewhere.

The facility, located in Hot Springs State Park, closed on January 14. A legal dispute between C & W Enterprises and Wyoming State Parks needs to be settle before a new operator can take over. Without a resolution to that ongoing litigation, or a finalized sale, the temporary closure will proceed.

Many have shown the Luehne family an outpouring of support, others look forward to an updated, modern facility.

Regardless of your stance on the issue, one thing we can probably all agree on is the hope that the temporary closure of the facility will be for the shortest term possible.

We hope for a quick resolution of the issue and look forward to the future of our beloved Hot Springs State Park.
