As a piece of trivia, when Alcatraz was closed in 1963-64, the U.S, had no idea what to do with the "Rock" after it closed and put it up for sale. LaMarr Hunt was interested in buying it as a site for "amusement park", his bid was turned down as the Govt kept the island. Al Capone once refered to Alcatraz" as "Worlds Of Fun", the name of the later Hunt built K.C. theme park.
