Project Status
In February 2008, a lawsuit filed against RMP and Merced County by the Merced County Farm Bureau and three environmental groups resulted in the cancellation of the park's 2006 construction approval.
The suit alleged that the county violated the California Environmental Quality Act when the Board of Supervisors approved plans for RMP in December 2006. The groups claimed the county failed to adequately study how the project would affect the environment.
On July 24, 2009, track officials declared the RMP project dead citing that the property is in foreclosure and that they owe more money on the property than what it is currently worth.
