For example, in 2009 the Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach located in South Carolina was liquidated just nine months after its inauguration, despite of two years of construction. Promoters expected that this thematic park would be the greatest in South Carolina, but it only generated $20 million in ticket sales—far below the $24 million in annual interest they owed. They had projected at least 30,000 customers per day, but tourist were not interested in the attractions, and the owners lost huge amounts of money.
