You may want to do some updated research on Heritage USA. It is now in the hands of Morningstar Fellowship Church, and the grounds have been renamed Heritage International Ministries, and they are meeting in the Grand Hotel, and have hopes to see the place restored to the Glory of God.

[edit] What happened?
The article says that the park "by 1986 was one of the top vacation destinations in the nation", then it says "In December 2004, the remainder of the Heritage USA property was sold" - presumably after having gone defunct. When did it close? And why? There seems to be a big gap in this article. - Brian Kendig 13:51, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Purchase
According to a 1991 Charisma magazine series of articles, televangelist Morris Cerullo had raised money to purchase Heritage USA in late 1990. This, however, turned into a controversy of its own; and Cerullo was eventually bought out.

[edit] Defunct
Heritage USA was a theme park (of sorts). It is defunct, no more, kaput. The grounds it formerly was on have been divided up several different ways, with most being developed for new houses by MUI (AKA "the Malaysians"). The part where the castle, tower, and water park used to be were sold to a developer. He, in turn, sold off some pieces (castle, tower, hotel, Main Street) to Morningstar, sold the water park components to nearby Carowinds amusement park and bulldozed the rest of it, and is building houses on the rest.
Heritage USA itself is gone, and it isn't coming back. What remains is not HUSA; therefore, "defunct" is an accurate description. Jdb1972 14:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Don't start an edit war
First, "the former Heritage" is perfectly proper English, "Heritage" being a proper noun.
Second, the ZHOP HQ is not in Regent Park. Regent Park is on the other side of the railroad tracks. It's in the old warehouse(?) building that went from an ugly 70s yellowish metal siding to an ugly 90s psuedo-stucco siding.
Third, the ZHOP address is completely irrelevant and out of place in this entry. Feel free to start a ZHOP entry and work it into there, however. Jdb1972 00:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
