There may be some other revenue enhancements, too Now here's a terrific idea! The National Park Service, facing an 11 percent budget cut as part of the overall Trump War On Nice Things, has proposed doubling the entrance fees for 17 of the nation's most popular parks, to pay for long-delayed improvements to park infrastructure. America is no longer a place where any random hippie should be allowed to visit the Grand Canyon, so per-vehicle entrance fees could go up to $70 during "peak season" -- each park's busiest five months. Current rates are around $25 to $30 depending on the park. But there'd still be some bargains out there under the proposal -- if you arrive on foot or bicycle, you could still get in for a mere $30 (up from $10 to 15), and annual passes allowing access to all parks would remain at $80. And since Congress has for years seen maintaining national parks as something that can wait for another time, there's no reason to think either house will step up to adequately fund park infrastructure, because there is nothing sexy about toilets in Yellowstone, although they're pretty goddamned necessary:
Did you know there is lots of Marijuana growing in all the national parks? If fewer people enter parks, fewer people will know. And how do you get fewer people to enter?
I wasn't alking about the value of Disneyland as a commercial undertaking , I was talking about the value a visitor derives from going to one vs. the other.
PS you obviously have not been to Yellowstone if you think it is just roads and benches. ;-)
Not enough LSD - ?
You're kind of my hero now.

Not ATVs, Trump branded golf carts.
Grifters are as grifters do.
Shhh. Don't give them any ideas.
Thanks St. Raygun.

Have to find this book again and reread it. I remember it being like Pohl's The Space Merchants.
I wish we had mud! Harumph! ;)
People have always been ugly, the internet just turned the mirror around and gave the world a window into their disgusting little lives.

Oh God, not after-school special rap. Might as well have played DC Talk.
Golf course plays you!
