Fiesta Village Family Fun Park, located in Colton, California, is closing its doors after fifty years of business.

位於加州 Colton 的 Fiesta Village 家庭娛樂樂園在經營五十年後將正式關閉。

The park was established in 1974 and changed ownership in 2002, when it was bought by Patrick and Michelle O'Brien. Over the following years, the owners expanded the park's attractions. While it started with miniature golf, go-karts, and water slides, it later added a roller skating rink, laser tag, and several amusement rides.

該樂園成立於 1974 年，並於 2002 年易主，由 Patrick 與 Michelle O'Brien 收購。在接下來的幾年裡，老闆擴展了樂園的設施。最初僅有迷你高爾夫、卡丁車和水上滑梯，後來又增加了滾軸溜冰場、雷射對戰以及數項遊樂設施。

However, the decision to close is based on several negative economic factors. Co-owner Michelle O'Brien emphasized that the business is no longer sustainable due to rising operating costs and a drop in the number of visitors. Specifically, the management noted that birthday party bookings fell from an average of 22 per Saturday to only nine. They believe this decline was caused by the increased cost of living, which has left local families with less money to spend on entertainment.

然而，關閉的決定是基於數個負面經濟因素。共同所有者 Michelle O'Brien 強調，由於營運成本上升和遊客人數下降，該業務已不再具有永續性。管理層特別指出，每週六的生日派對預約量從平均 22 場下降到僅剩 9 場。他們認為這種下滑是由於生活成本增加，使得當地家庭在娛樂方面的支出減少。

Furthermore, the owners tried to sell the business to a new owner to keep the park running, but they found no interested buyers. Consequently, approximately 30 employees will lose their jobs. This closure reflects a wider trend across the United States, where many small amusement parks are closing because of changing consumer habits and higher expenses.

此外，老闆曾嘗試將業務出售給新買家以維持樂園運作，但未能找到有興趣的買家。因此，約 30 名員工將失去工作。這次關閉反映了美國的一個更廣泛趨勢，即許多小型遊樂園因消費者習慣改變和費用增加而關閉。

The park will welcome its last visitors on July 11, ending its fifty-year history in the community.

該樂園將於 7 月 11 日迎接最後一批遊客，結束其在社區中五十年的歷史。
