    • or.. maybe don't go to a fully immersive LARPing event if you're not into it? (it's why i don't bother with Renaissance Festivals)
    • Yeah or ya know.... maybe have a couple of actual rides so that people who aren't into the role play stuff have something to do.
    • Hah. I'm conflicted on how you got in, but that's funny. Thank you for your story and your service.
    • If you watch Youtube and search for closed or abandoned amusement parks there are tons of them.  They all seem to have the same things in common: 1. They were the next Walt Disney, 2. They underestimated the cost to build their park by at least one-half, 3. They overestimated the attendance by quite a bit, 4. They had no extra funds when things went wrong, and 5. The failure was always something or someone else’s fault. I am not sure about this one but I am sure there will be a video soon with many of these factors being an issue.  Don’t even get me started about friends that thought they were good cooks so they should open a restaurant 😉 “According to the National Amusement Park Historical Association, there are approximately 1,000 defunct amusement parks in North America, with a significant number being in the United States.[1]”
