Worst tourist trap/attraction you've been sucked into?

Salt Lake and Park City during Thanksgiving week.
Everything is CLOSED!
My daughter and I spent last Thanksgiving in Utah. Olympic Village in Park City: "open" but no athletes training; tour bus runs, but not the complete circuit. Took us to the top of the bobsled run. Big deal.
Hoogle Zoo: a ton of exhibits shut down. Heritage Park: closed except for the museum and Brigham Young's house. Next time I head to Utah, maybe I'll just stop in St. George and knock on PKM's door!

La Bufadora in Ensanada, Mexico. 20 or 30 miles outside of the city, then once you park you have to walk this long tourist trap street to get that geyser spot:

Full of beggers and fake Rolex dealers and whatnot. It's actually not too bad when you're in the moment sucking up the food vendors' vapors, haggling with the shops, etc.....but since you were just driving...thinking you were getting away from that kind of stuff and heading to the boonies a bit...you're kind of bummed when you realize the city came along for the trip.

That was the year of the Knoxville World's Fair. Has Dollywood improved the city at all?

Just more contrived. I hate a town that is 'created' with little to no respect toward how nature had intended. There was ZERO organic growth to Pigeon Forge.

When stuff is closed isn't it your fault for not looking up stuff to see what was happening? Unless they falsely advertised I don't think this qualifies as a tourist trap.
 
Branson Missouri. It really is what Vegas would be like if it were run by Ned Flanders.
 
I am surprised to not see anyone complaining about Disney in this thread. . . Disneyland, Disney World, Disney on Ice, etc.
