Owen and Dolly Pope lived secretly in the park for 16 years. They were in charge of managing the so-called Pony Farm.
The Popes lived in a trailer, but over time they began to reside in a residence in better conditions. They lived there until 1971, when they decided to move from California to Florida. There they no longer lived in the theme complex facilities, but rather lived outside. They continued working for four more years, until 1975, and then they retired.
