So the 2 mill is not just for one movie for one Fair, they will make money back with the touring attraction. Also, since they are keeping all the fried food and agriculture and animals, what is the harm in adding a new attraction? It will keep people coming back and possibly entice new visitors to the Fair. IMO, this keeps the Fair fresh and new and not the same old-same old. Why not?!
