Chippewa Park rides shelved again for summer

The Muskeg Express is expected to be operational by late July, according to city officials. (FILE) THUNDER BAY – The rides at Chippewa Park will not operate this summer, but the Muskeg Express at Centennial Park should be good to go by the end of July. Cory Halvorsen, manager of parks and open spaces for the City of Thunder Bay, said staff usually spends time in April and May getting the Chippewa Rides ready to go. But with no indication at the time that amusement parks would be operational in summer, the work was shelved. “It’s unfortunate. People value the rides,” Halvorsen said. “That’s why we have them. But we had to be realistic about what we could do back in April and May.”
