ernierocker Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) ^^Six Flags Magic Mountain makes it into the top 25 of North American parks. I had no clue that the Korean parks had such high attendance. Lotte World had over a 30% increase in attendance?!?!

SharkTums Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 A few interesting things to note. Very interesting to see how the Tokyo parks did due to the earthquake and resulting closure of the park for weeks. Realistically, I believe both parks were closed for several weeks so a 3-5% drop isn't actually that bad! What's going on with Everland in Korea? Such a big drop at both their park and water park? Hadn't heard much about the South Korean economy, but this is certainly interesting. Same with Williamsburg, looks like they had a bad year with both Busch Gardens and Water Country seeing significant drops. Looks like next year Europa has a chance to beat the Disney Studios for a solid 2nd place in Europe! Those of you surprised about Six Flags? Really?

simaticable Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It's not like all Six Flags parks are horrible...just the ones that we constantly complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm surprised to see Magic Mountain pull close to 3 million people. I always thought they struggled to get at least 2 million into their park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm kind of surprised that Kings Island has higher attendance than Cedar Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Same with Williamsburg, looks like they had a bad year with both Busch Gardens and Water Country seeing significant drops. Williamsburg had a pretty "off" year in general in 2011. At least, Colonial Williamsburg and the local hotel owners were all crying in their beer about it. The Mach Tower mess probably hurt BGW quite a bit, too--delaying the opening of your new ride, even if it is just a drop tower, from May until August certainly couldn't have helped business. Vanish Point, Water Country's new slide for 2011, was fun, but didn't have all that much of a "wow" factor, but a 7.8 percent drop is pretty bad. Maybe they should consider going for some more "extreme" attractions along the lines of Mammoth or Wildebeest. It'll be interesting to see what Verbolten does for BGW. The public really seems to like it a lot. Edited May 31, 2012 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It's interesting to see in the full report that there isn't a water park outside of Orlando that does more than 1 million people per year! It's crazy to think that the combination of those 4 Orlando water parks get more visitors than the next 10 water parks on the list combined! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 ^^Maybe it's because water parks outside of Orlando tend to pull in locals, while the Orlando parks get a bigger mix of locals and tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkFunk Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Where money and stability appear, attendance at parks increases. Funny to see that Brazil's death trap parks were able to be counteracted in Latin America by the gains in Colombia (now with 75% less kidnapping!). Heck, Parque Mundo Aventura wasn't even in the top ten in 2009, and here it is #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsor Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 How did Sea World San Antonio make it into the top 25? When I went there was never anybody there. The park is open almost year-round, so there's a lot of dates to spread that attendance around. I can't speak for the rest of the city, but I prefer to visit the local parks in spring or fall, when it's not 100 degrees every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It would be interesting to know how they estimate attendance for all these places. A little surprised that Dollywood was no where to be found, not even in the top 20 of North American parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 SFMM beat out all of the other Six Flags parks? And it still brought in that many guests? #cantbetrue I only attribute that to them being open year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saldek Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I thought Cheetah Hunt would boost the gate signifiacntly at BGT. I'm sure they were banking on more than a 2% increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
