Magic Mountain lasted less than two years and was not completed due to financial issues. Pleasure Island existed from 1959 until 1969, but it too faced considerable financial issues. Freedomland also faced significant financial problems that led to the filing of bankruptcy, but the motive for the failure, unknown to Wood or the public at the time, was to obtain land variances to build the world's largest co-operative housing development on New York City marshland. Six Flags Over Texas continues today as a successful park that has seen many changes from its original concept.
