I would be willing to bet that all of those places have a common reason for failure-Democratic policy. Regulation, taxation, etc.

DUDE What if, they made an amusement park, and made it look abandoned to raise the cool factor and make it more popular! I doubt anyone would ever try it. I think it would be cool, too, but the set of customers who want to see the abandoned amusement park from Scooby-Doo is a niche. People want it clean and new for their families. They might get a chuckle out of the graffiti once, but they'd be repeat customers at the competition. "Abandoned Land" at a big park would work. Retro rides and peeling paint It'll have to be lead based paint to have the right "retro" feeling.

The proportins of the sarcophagus had been precisely determined to prevent the deceased from ever sliding down into a fully reclined position. The similar postures of the two bodies led Carson to the conclusion that the proper burial position had the chin resting as much as possible on the chest |
