Jun. 18--Developer Joseph Gillis bought Fantasy Lake Water Park for $1.4 million as a way to entice his daughter into returning to Fayetteville.
The move worked.
Gillis' daughter, Marjorie Turner, and her husband, James, now run the park.
The park has new owners for the first time since Mollie and Cecil Dunn started running Fantasy Lake more than 30 years ago.
"My dad would do anything to get me back into Fayetteville," said Marjorie Turner.
Gillis' propositions included working on a farm, running a construction company and heading a portable toilet business.
