I don't think this ride will have a impact on DCA attendance unfortunately. people just don't ike the park for some reason(I love it).
2001 attendance - 5 million
2007 attendance - 5.6 million
That may be a big increase for some parks, but not DCA.
Since opening they've added numerous new parades and seasonal shows/events, Aladdin, Tower of Terror, Monsters inc., Turtle Talk with Crush ,Flicks fun fair(which is 4 rides in i's self).
Their going to spend 1.1 billion to raise attendance to a goal of 9 million people. when they've already spend at least 300 million on the above. I just don't see it happening.
