Two years ago, Evermore, a fantasy theme park in Utah County, abruptly closed less than six years after it opened.

For employees — and those passionate about the park — the closure was jarring. Some found out through a Discord channel. Now, thanks to a Utah-based bestselling author, they’ve had a chance to finally say goodbye.

After buying the former park in Pleasant Grove last month, Utah author Brandon Sanderson let employees tour the place one last time before demolition begins.

“We wanted to just give them a chance to say goodbye,” he said in a video posted Tuesday on his Instagram account. A longer weekly update video is posted on his Youtube.

Sanderson has spoken previously about how this closure is hard for him. He and his family visited the park several times.

“I consider this kind of a sad thing,” he said.

Sanderson said crews are trying to save as much as possible before demolition, such as trees. A lot of the structures in the park were unusable, but Habitat for Humanity was invited to take anything it could use to build homes for those in need.

Someone took glass from the old greenhouse to repurpose it into a new greenhouse, for example.

It’s unclear exactly what plans Sanderson has for this land.

On other land near Evermore, Sanderson plans to open Dragonsteel Plaza, which will feature a bookstore, retail shops and a plaza.

In his video update, Sanderson said fans can expect more updates on the land where Evermore used to be next spring.
