wayne.rickards the Faire did not fail because it's remote (it's a stone's throw from Frederiscksburg -- FAR less remote than most Ren Faires) nor beecause of poor ticket sales -- it was the most successful of the four faires operated by Renaissance Entertainment Corp. They shut it down because their older faires were losing money so they wanted to scale back to save their older properties. As I understand it, the property is too close to wetlands for commercial or residential development, so it has been difficult to sell.
