All very valid points Rich. I was trying to stay positive with my former post and not squash the kids dreams but you are right. I agree a kid just graduating high school has a very slim chance of acquiring that kind of money unless he has an massive inheritance. I also think your location and market has a lot to do with the cost of starting an attraction. If it cost $10,000 in my area just to submit plans I would be bumming. I took the slow route building up my home haunt for years and years before we finally went commercial an I would consider us a very small haunt with a lot to learn. I have long range plans of getting into a bigger building but we can't afford that yet so most of my haunt is an outside trail. If it were not for the partnership I formed with the farm owners for the land it would have been impossible to buy that land on my own. Bad shows do hurt us all and not everyone has the stomach or passion for this business. I figured he would find out for himself the reality of his situation once he read Kelly's book.
