Basically means they’re dumbing down HRP, and turning it into just another theme park. What’s ironic is that the park would have been a big hit, if it hadn’t been for the recession. All they had to do was keep it as it was, and wait for the good times to roll around. But now, it’s gone forever. And no one else is going to have the courage to do something like this again.
