The Penticton Indian Band are revisiting investigation into creating an adrenaline super park after defeating the concept in a referendum.
This time around the park will not need a PIB membership vote because they are looking at the potential of using the former Game Farm lands — which only require assent of the chief and council to approve the terms of the lease and begin development.

Among some of the amenities the developer, Avion Developments Inc., included in the first proposal were a sky chair with walking and nature trails accommodating access to zip lines, a mountain coaster, waterpark, mountain bike terrain park, motorsports super centre, an amphitheatre, concert stage and bull riding event centre. As well they visioned a RV park and tenting facility.
Readers immediately reacted to the story online with their own suggestions.
