eurodisney
The former name of Disneyland Paris. Thought to be a large albatross, a proverbial lead balloon. Due to high prices and bad reviews, Europe's largest theme park turned out to be disney's biggest disaster. It took some time to get the image and prices on track. In 1999, Disney announed that they had broken even...after six years of losing money. Eurodisney has yet to announce whther the loss sustained until 1999 has been recouperated, but it shall be stated soon that the project has entirely broken even.
I was in Eurodisney the year it announced it had broken even.
