The creators of “South Park” are facing competition to buy Casa Bonita, the bankrupt restaurant and family entertainment center outside Denver that was featured in an episode of the TV show, WSJ Pro Bankruptcy reported. Andrew Novick, a Casa Bonita enthusiast who leads a group called Save Casa Bonita LLC, said in court papers Monday that he can do better than the proposed sale to “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A lawyer representing Parker and Stone in the bankruptcy case declined to comment. Their sale offer, announced on a live-streamed conversation in August with Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis, values Casa Bonita at $3.1 million, court papers show. Any sale requires approval from the judge overseeing Casa Bonita’s chapter 11 case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver. Novick said his group is willing to put up $3.5 million for Casa Bonita, a Mexican resort-themed restaurant known for its 30-foot high waterfall, which cliff divers, at times wearing gorilla suits, regularly jump off to entertain guests.
