      If you believe the reason for not building it was property disputes with "locals" you are an idiot. Chinese people do own shit ... CCP if they want to can take any land for any reason and kick their residents on street if the do not burry them alive while demolishing their home anyway! What I see as a reason is that this park would bring piece of west into the China and that is a simple reason why not to build it.

    Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea. Standing 330 meters high with 105 floors, this pyramid-shaped skyscraper was supposed to be a luxury hotel, but construction stopped in 1992 due to lack of funds. Since then, it has been periodically restarted and stopped again.

      And to this day it's still standing empty. I believe the North Korean government put about 30% of its GDP into building it.

    Am i the only one that feels activision took a large amount of inspiration from hashima island in warzone. The original warzone rebirth map, obviously its very different but key points of interest and the general shape make me feel they designed it while looking at a picture of hashima. Mainly the far points of the island. the tin building in the middle of an empty parking lot on one end, a tall building with a small extension on the back at the other. The hills and the buildings lining the coast. Id bet money they rebuilt and changed it for the game

    0:30 North of "Wonderland Amusement Park" are also three interesting structures that seem to be abandoned (see Google Earth History): A large circular building, a large park area and some kind of small town city center recreation. There is a fourth structure further north that looks like a race track / urban town recreation (probably a training ground).
