Theme park building boom hits the skids in smaller Chinese markets

Wei Jiushan spends his day in a fantasy land, surrounded by rides, arcades, souvenir shops, bungee-jumping towers that look like six-story-high banyan trees and a small village of mushroom-shaped houses. A gruff, 52-year-old security guard, Wei says he's been working at the Dragon Fantasy amusement park for three years. The problem is that the park, a 165-acre development in Tangshan City about two hours' drive from Beijing, has no people.
