The "Abandoned & Creepy” Wizard of Oz Theme Park:

Something that popped up on my Youtube feed, and to my surprise, I watched the whole thing.

Somehow, the story resonated, and I place it here in the hope that somebody else finds it interesting.

I've always been intrigued that the book was an allegory about the "gold standard" (yellow brick road) that led to Oz (DC) only to reveal the concept was a fraud by the wizard (McKinley) perpetrated against the Scarecrow (farmers) Tinman (factory workers) and Cowardly Lion (Dem candidate William Jennings Bryan).  Dorothy (American citizen) escapes by clicking her silver slippers (ruby in the movie ver) to get back to Kansas (real America).
