Armageddon expo buys Spookers
Kia ora neighbours, horror theme park Spookers has been sold – after being on the market for five years – to the owners of the Armageddon expo.
Spookers, which is on the grounds of Kingseat Hospital, a former psychiatric unit, has been leased by Julia Tukiri, her husband Jemall and her parents, mayor of Rangitikei Andrew Watson and Beth Watson since 2005.
The family originally decided to sell the business in 2018, but the sale fell through. It was put back on the market in 2020.
William and Adele Geradts, the owners of Armageddon Expo, a comic-con style event, said they planned to bring their “event experience” to the attraction, along with Jason Spiller, of gaming company Arcanist.
