An end of an era: Thrill seekers say goodbye to ZDT’s Amusement Park Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- After nearly two decades of twists and turns, and unforgettable memories, the rides and attractions at ZDT’s Amusement Park in Seguin are officially coming to an end. ZDT’s Amusement Park, a family-owned favorite for 18-plus years, has announced it will permanently close its gates on August 17, 2025. Over those years, Danny and Sarah Donhauser have solely operated the family-owned business in the heart of Seguin. But behind the scenes and for at least the past two years, the Donhauser family had already begun contemplating retirement, slowly working on what she says was “an exit strategy.” However, this summer, she says they quickly realized that all that “talked about time” had finally arrived. “A couple of years ago, we realized that we needed to start planning on retirement. Within four years was our goal. And we started working on exit strategies. But, this summer, it just became increasingly clear that it’s no longer sustainable. And it’s a lot of factors, but mainly, it boils down to increasing costs and decreasing attendance. And so, it doesn’t make sense for us to be open any longer after this summer season. So, we had to make that decision to go ahead and exit now,” said Sarah. Sarah acknowledged that changing lifestyles could be a factor in how times have changed. ZDT’s, pg. 4
