When Walt Disney was first planning Disneyland Anaheim he offered to the City Council of Los Angeles, to build a monorail line from LAX, via Downtown to Disneyland.
The deal was, he would build it if LA would operate it. The Council refused, they figured that Disneyland would never amount to anything, would eventually be a flop and probably have to close down.
The rest is history.

Today, more than 50 years later, Disneyland is jammed with crowds everyday....even when it rains. BTW, its around $100 per adult person to enter.
