This is called brain-dead logic.
You're right Mario. There is a middle. Take a look at Disney World.
The built the castle. People come. They came to Modern Hotels. They
come to theme hotels. People want SOMETHING to do and to spend what
they have and don't have. Disney kept going. They realized water
rides and family togetherness is something. Families (even single
parent families) want an escape. They realized people like WATER.
They built WATER parks. They realized they need something for "older"
people - from 18 up that will keep them coming back - they built the
various entertainment centers (downtown disney - house of blues etc),
they built their own "boardwalk" destination, campgrounds, countless
hotels - in the middle of f'in NOWHERE. And they kept on THINKING.
Thinking of the BRAND and how to get people to come back.
Here, you're starting with WATER. COUNTLESS MILLIONS of people within
one hour......
Ding.
