’s failed is attracting a lot of schadenfreude.

This article says it’s going to be an accelerated $300 million write-off that took an over-budget $400 million to build, but that’s compared to the $1 billion it cost to build ’s Star Wars: area and the eye-watering $7.9 billion operating profit last year from all Disney parks. https://apple.news/AgGKE6XugRSu2SXeFy4oSjQ

They could’ve built almost 20 more hotels with that.

WuMargaret,

@mjgardner it sounds exhausting to me. Related to your point, though, I have found Forbes often contextualizes stories oddly.

@WuMargaret Half of it is filled with analysis quotes from this one theme park consultant who used to chair a theme park industry trade group and helped develop Kings Island and Kings Dominion

WuMargaret,

@mjgardner Well, that’s a bit problematic.

@WuMargaret That’s as far as I dug. I didn’t want to turn this into an “ethics in x journalism” thing—we know how that movie ends
