After decades of being closed, what is left of the old Magic Landing amusement park will be torn down. The decision comes after a second fire in as many weeks.

According to KFOX 14 archives, there have been 10 fires in the last four years, all at the hands of alleged arsonists, according to El Paso County sheriff's officials. Monday the property manager said in a statement it will just tear down what is left, but gives no exact timeline on when that will happen and there's no way officials can force the owner to do it.

"Municipalities have the ability to govern the way they develop, the way they grow, the way they govern," said El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar.

That's not the case for the county; they are road blocked.

"We are governed by the legislature and the state constitution," said Escobar.

In Texas, most legislatures, "firmly believe nope, people who own private properties should do what they want and if their property burns down so be it," said Escobar.

That's exactly what happened at the old Magic Landing. Sunday night, three volunteer fire departments came together to battle the flames. Almost exactly a week before that, flames once again shot 20 feet in the air. Now, even though county officials can't force them to, the property manager of the old amusement park said it will be taking action, It sent KFOX 14 a statement that says in part: "We are responding to the fires by providing security and demolishing all facilities as soon as possible. We will prosecute to the full extent of the law all parties trespassing or deemed involved in these incidents."

Officials fear this could happen again with no concrete timeline given before the last remaining buildings are demolished.

"This is a perfect example of why session, after session, after session we ask the legislature to please give counties more power," said Escobar.

Escobar said local legislatures are trying to make the changes, but said they are shot down by other state legislatures. Sheriff's officials said there is no break in who may be starting all of these fires.
