Park distribution and chances of new rides

[Kilosandwich]

In most areas there are plenty of theme parks! for instance buffalo supports 3! (Darien lake, Marine Land, Martin' fantasy island) and its population is lower than Detroit's and buffalo's economy crashed in the 1970's yet it still has a constant flow to its parks. however Detroit used to support 3 as well (walled lake park, Edgewater park, Bob-lo Island) yet it now suppports none even when its economy has down turned please explain how this is possible even though Detroit supports a larger population.

 

follow up question:

Does a parks placement on the map effect its chances of getting a new ride? even when its in a conglomerate? please respond specifically to Michigan's adventure's case

^You also have to look at tourist dollars. For example, the Buffalo area sees a TON more tourists than Detroit does. Those tourist dollars help subsidize some parks and pay for others to survive and thrive.

 

When was the last time anyone said: "Hey honey, let's go vacation in Detroit this summer!"
