Gisborne died! There was not enough interest, partially because the ticket price was too high.
Also, Gisborne is not on the dateline, it is just the first CITY in the world to see the sunrise. The first land is on a mountain/hill on one of the Chatham Islands, a good number of kilometers off mainland NZ over which there has been fighting about how it would be used/who would use it due to the neighbours whose boundary runs across it not liking each other much.
