Hey everyone, this is pretty important:
I am starting a campaign for a non-profit amusement park that donates all proceeds to charitable organizations! Problem is, I need money to buy the first ride so I can begin operating it at small venues. Wanna help? Any bit helps, so donate here! There are rewards involved!

Its a novel idea, but I dont think a "not for profit" theme park will be successful.

Hate to burst any bubbles, but I'm not convinced this is particularly well thought-out...

Isn't there an Australian one for Aboriginal culture or something?

There are a few in the world that do well enough...

Right now, a Wisdom/Sellner Tilt-A-Whirl, Hampton Tubs-of-Fun, or Eli Bridge Scrambler is on the table.

It's a pretty simple plan, buy a ride with donated money and run it at local venues. I have a few venues in mind that I have good contact with....
