GTA Vice City players spent years hunting a fairground that never existed — and the real estate tycoon who destroyed it.

The Washington Beach Fairground was widely rumored to be a hidden location in GTA: Vice City, with players searching for its remnants in the construction site of Avery Towers. The 'myth' was eventually debunked: the fairground had been demolished before 1986, and the construction site was simply its former location. Some fans speculate villainous real estate developer Avery Carrington intentionally destroyed it for his property empire.
