    As a conspiracy theory it doesn't even make sense. Like why would they do that? The park is already built, if you want a photo-op you may as well let people use it lol. Getting actors seems like such a hassle by comparison.

      I think the logic of it (which is mistaken) is that the people of the DPRK are all miserable slaves under constant threat of death, so expecting them to have fun there would be like building a water park in Auschwitz while keeping everything else the same and expecting the prisoners to live it up.

      Therefore, the DPRK building such a facility and allowing it to be used normally by non-tourists would only make the slave-state nature of the country more obvious.

      But literally no state has ever looked like what people imagine the DPRK to be, so that makes subsequent inferences kind of useless.

      I imagine they're under the impression it's too expensive like our theme parks are for our poor
