It's absolutely disheartening to learn about stories of amusement parks using maximum fraudulent techniques to get people to spend money. For example, I was informed by somebody that really big places, such as Disneyworld, purposely waft manufactured scents throughout the grates underneath the park in order for people to smell them, get hungry, and go spend their money on food. The people are lead blindly by what they think is real - some sort of food shop nearby MUST be the origin - and then make the park even richer by purchasing their overpriced grub.
This technique is also commonly employed outside of amusement parks, where restaurants purposely vent their smells outside to attract customers. It's much the same ordeal, but it really sucks when that corporate spirit leaks into amusement parks. Those places really do seem to care for you as a young soul and harvest wondrous memories, until you get older and older and realize how it's all a plot.
Alas, the place needs to make money. It is a business, after all. It stinks though. Damn corporations.
