As you drive on Interstate 4, one landmark you can't miss is the Roman Coliseum.Naturally, we're talking about the one in Holy Land.Bit by bit, the religious theme park is being torn down.This week, crews are tackling the coliseum. But in the land of theme parks, why couldn't this one make it?As claws tear at the last of the Roman Coliseum, one of the most iconic landmarks of Holy Land, it marks the end of an era, the end of Orlando's controversial religious theme park. The Holy Land Experience opened in 2002 and told the story of Jesus through the eyes of Christianity and though it was revered by many, it was also mocked. The gift shop sold Holy Land fanny packs.Using bean bags, guests could hit the devil with their best shot. "Whenever you would go up and down I-4, you would see Holy Land as you passed it, that giant coliseum," resident Vincent Rodriguez said. Rodriguez lives in Orlando and out of curiosity, he bought a ticket. His Holy Land experience lives through YouTube. "It was a pretty interesting experience. There was a lot to see and do. I could see why it had been here in Orlando so long," Rodriguez said. But eventually, no longer able to make a profit, the doors closed several years ago.The building got old and seemed frozen in time until it all started to come down. Why couldn't the religious theme park make it in the land of theme parks? "You have to be successful 365 days a year," theme park expert Abe Pizam said. Pizam says in many ways, it just didn't fit in. "It's not compatible with Mickey, Disney, Donald Duck or any of the main attractions," Pizam said. Perhaps, the theme park's time just came to an end.
