Terrible Dark Ages Disease

Terrible Dark Ages Disease is a condition which affects large corporate theme park organisations. Whilst similar in nature, it must not be confused with Car Park Syndrome, in which the effects are sustained over a much longer-term.

Symptoms

Early signs of the disease may include frequent ride breakdowns and irregular ride maintenance. Often, patients will show signs of strong denial, and may voice this denial publicly on a particular social networking site. If left untreated, more serious symptoms will start to occur, including:

• Interactive ride re-themes
• Use of intellectual properties and sponsorships
• Lack of new park developments
• Coasters (and zombies) purchased in bulk
• Removal of magical theme music

Treatment

The most common solution to this disease is through a corporate takeover.
