Wax Museum Whacked

By Ron - Wednesday October 19th 2005

After 43 years Movieland Wax Museum announced it will be closing at the end of the month. What drove the museum out of business?

titanic failure

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
