300 parks is nonsense and will only be the quality of Dismayland by Banksy!!also towards the end of the video the mention something like 300 more parks will be opening by 2020.Its basically the video game crash of 83 but with theme parks.
How is 300 parks nonsense? Their population is about 5x that of the US. We probably have 100 theme parks and amusement parks of varying shapes and sizes, 300 would be about right to serve a population of that size. No one said they'll all be Disney quality, but each will take a share just like they all do here.300 parks is nonsense and will only be the quality of Dismayland by Banksy!!

The Olympic Park is particularly impressive!Great business decisions. China's economy is in a huge downturn & the response is to build 300 amusement parks. Wonder how many of those will end up like their abandoned cities & the steel mills that produce three times as much steel as the entire world uses?
China is the biggest Pyramid (Ponzi) Scheme the world has ever known.The Olympic Park is particularly impressive!

China is the biggest Pyramid (Ponzi) Scheme the world has ever known.
Yep, they used the world financial community to finance everything in the beginning. The allure was "that vast market of billions of Chinese". And they've milked it since, reinvesting everyone's money. Pure Ponzi scheme. The world's financial institutions and investment companies are in too deep to leave. The scheme keeps getting bigger & bigger. Remember, China was one of the world's poorest nations, with no cash or real assets, when all of this started.Thinking about it, that is a really good way of putting it!
Most of the theme parks we all know were built during the economic downturn in this country between 1971-1976 when gas prices went through the roof and all kinds of uncertainty were happening. Building during a downturn is not necessarily a bad idea, all downturns will eventually get better.Great business decisions.

Uhh, there wasn't a significant economic downturn during that period. A very brief recession in part of 71-72 and it was pretty vibrant after that. I lived through that period. Times were good. In fact, way better than now, mostly because there was a strong middle class that made good money for the time, and the well paying manufacturing jobs hadn't been sold out overseas by the businesses & politicians. No, that period showed a much stronger and spread out economy than the present. Today, it's become very top heavy with an dwindling middle class. Trickle down economics didn't work so well. The rich only got insanely richer. I agree with most of your posts, but certainly not this one.Most of the theme parks we all know were built during the economic downturn in this country between 1971-1976 when gas prices went through the roof and all kinds of uncertainty were happening.

As I said, different time period. People didn't take low paying part time jobs to bring the job rate down. Most people lived very comfortably than with a lot of disposable income. That was a mild recession that didn't affect many people. Technically, we're not in recession now, but people have lost tremendous buying power in relation to what was then.The middle class was in better shape than, than they are now. Those stats don't really tell the true story. Plus, the park boom was mostly in response to the Baby Boomers demographic, which had tremendous disposable income at the time.
We have what seems to be a POV now for Roaring Rapids...and while the set design looks lovely..there is something wrong. Something far worse than the Disco Yeti. And What i'm talking...is the "Dead Dino".
