If you are shopping for 450 acres near Disney World, the land originally purchased as the site for a theme park mixing magic and Transcendental Meditation is for sale... again.  According to the Orlando Sentinel, "Vedaland," which translates to "Land of Knowledge," included plans for "a building seemingly suspended above water without supports, a "magic flying chariot" that took riders inside the molecular structure of a rose, and robots that would fly through the air, performing magic tricks." The project was the brain child of magician Doug Henning and the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. "Henning died of cancer in 2000, and the Maharishi died at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop this year." Over the years, the property which was originally purchased in 1989 for $20 Million, has been offered for sale then removed from the market. The most recent asking price is $150 million.
