They get bonus points for quoting Hard Times in their mission statement, even though they don't credit the proprietor of Hard Times. I checked the archives, I'm not sure exactly when I said "People must be amused, squire, somehow. They can't be always a-working, nor yet they can't be always a-learning.".

Looking back through your archives, I think you said that in 1854.

So now there will be two theme parks with Scrooge, one based on the other.
