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]”
