Wax Museum Whacked

After 43 years Movieland Wax Museum announced it will be closing at the end of the month. What drove the museum out of business?
- Maintenance costs of picking wax from museum carpets out of control
- Visitors would rather spend $15 admission on Medieval Times royalty package upgrade
- High budget Sister Act movie set inexplicably failed to draw crowds after 1992
- Management investing in more profitable Movieland Brazilian Wax Salon
- Tourists finally began figuring out Buena Park is not actually Movieland
- Authorities too close to discovering why the figures look so real
- Wax figures of antiquated celebrities simply uninteresting
Why else is Movieland Wax Museum closing?
I suspect the Vegas Madame Tussauds was in on the hit. There’s only room for one celebrity wax museum on the coast. Plus, how can Movieland compete with a Ben Affleck at the poker table set at the Vegas Tussauds http://www.mtvegas.com/experience_ben.asp
