It is not unreasonable to assume that Seagal's experience at JVDP played a part in inspiring his life-long interest in Asian culture. 25. Terrill, ‘New County Attraction’. 26. Keller, p. 2. 27.

Poles were supplied by the Forest Products Division of Koppers Company, Inc., and treated with CCA, an arsenic and now-known carcinogen. Koppers was named a Superfund Site in the 1980s and forced to supply the residents of Oroville, the company's northern California base, with an alternate water supply. What effect long-term contact with arsenic-treated wood had on the animals at JVDP is unknown. 34. ‘Japanese Deer Park Opens in Buena Park’, Buena Park News and Independent, 5 July 1967, p. A2. 35. Monier sales brochure. 36. The park reopened in 1976 with a new theme, ‘Noah's Ark’, and a new name, ‘Enchanted Village’. All major structures remained intact, but had been sandblasted, repainted and thatched in keeping with the new theme. This incarnation of the village lasted little more than a year and the park closed for good in October of 1977. 37.

Although the plethora of tract houses in Buena Park and environs featuring hipped and gabled rooflines with oversized ridgepoles projecting from their peaks would seem to indicate the direct influence of the Japanese Village and Deer Park on architectural plans too, most of these homes actually predate the theme park by a decade and resulted from a mid-century fad for so-called ‘Hawaiian-style’ living. Although, according to Sven Kirsten, author of The Book of Tiki: The Cult of Polynesian Pop in Fifties America, this Americanized Hawaiian architecture, or Polynesian Pop, is largely based on Japanese construction concepts. 42.

Epcot Center's Japanese Pavilion is still a popular destination, although several attractions originally planned for the site, such as an Americanized version of Tokyo Disneyland's ‘Meet the World’ show, and a simulated bullet train ride, were cancelled due to concerns of cultural insensitivity in the politically correct 1980s. As for Buena Park's entertainment corridor, Knott's Berry Farm is the only remaining original attraction there. 45. ‘SplashDance’, Sunset, May 2009, p. 11. 46. ‘Fast & Fresh’, Sunset, May 2009, p. 104. 47.
