Against doubt, delays, and dwindling funds, orange groves gave way to something never seen before. Construction faltered, asphalt melted, and chaos loomed, but vision endured. On opening day, imperfect and unfinished, a gate swung wide open. And in that moment, the world changed. Fantasy had a home. Imagination had a kingdom. And nothing would ever be the same again.
