This is really interesting, but I can't imagine how they could ever get enough revenue for it to make financial sense unless they charged crazy entrance fees. I guess it could be enough of a tourist attraction that people would pay to spend all day, like at a Spa or something. It might make more sense if it had a hotel built into it. Probably not for me, but maybe some people would find it enough of an experience to fork out some big bucks.

It's 1/3 the size, so not really. perhaps a better comparison is that it's Chicago with the growth rates of Dallas, and a lot of that growth happens in the city instead of entirely in the suburbs.
