I've been in commercial real estate for nearly 15 years now, and theme parks are an entirely different thing from offering brick-and-mortar retail space to businesses as a landlord.

The fact that retail is cratering has no bearing on amusement parks, which this, from what I can see, is. An amusement park to take your kids to, where you can also happen to do a bit of shopping on the side if you want.
