Well, not really. I suspect he was pointing out that you seemed to be completely
writing off developing a major attraction anyplace cold in the winter, where
closures would be necessary. I've been to amusement parks in Cleveland &
Cincinnati, OH, (seasonal closures), and seen them in lots of other "cold"
places (Denver, CO has one to as I've seen).
By your quick dismissal, I'd have to assume that these were misplaced,
still-born, rapidly dying establishments. They're not. So... I suspect something
might be slightly off with your analysis.

One way to maximize revenue is not to open a theme park in a market that may
already be saturated. Like Orlando, FL. The best locations are often ones where
there's a demand, and costs are low. That may have been Orlando when Walt
started buying up swampland. It might not be the case now.

I'd tentatively agree with that - but not for the location reasons you
specified.
