I can write it off because I have seen the real numbers and the TEA numbers are a huge slap in the face, comparatively. Universal is killing it right now.
I'm a good listener. I mainly ever hear about MK, USF, and IoA. There is 0.0 chance that DHS has the attendance TEA reports and 0.0 chance that IoA was flat last year.I don't know what you do, but there's a very slim percentage of the population who have access to every theme park in the world's actual attendance figures. If you work for the company, I can see you having data to one, but then how do you go about figuring out the rest of them? Unless employees are risking their jobs and non-disclosures to bring people on a website information…which seems unlikely at best...
That is a good question. Perhaps in a manner similar to TouringPlans but not as sophisticated.How are the TEA attendance figures collated? The parks seem to keep the gate numbers close to their chests so how are Tea able to release such figures? Where are they getting the numbers from?
I don't get how people can just write the data off as completely wrong. I mean, if they really are completely fabricated why even bother releasing them? There has to be SOME decent method for arriving at the figures that they do. I mean, parks don't release their attendance figures, so you guys who are all up in arms claiming it to be BS have no basis to say that because there's no way you can know the actual facts. I just think that's a little hypocritical.
I have heard DHS' numbers are under 8M.
That is a number that makes sense.I have heard DHS' numbers are under 8M.
I know the actualy UOR numbers. Both of the numbers in the TEA report are low.
But, to my point, you don't know the actual Disney numbers….they may also be low in the report. They also might be too high.
Do you really believe DHS and DAK draw in more than 10.5 million a year? REALLY? A park that closes one ride and two shows and they draw more people?
Does anyone know what MK's park capacity is vs. TDL's capacity? Everyone always bring it up that TDL is always packed, but i'd be interested in knowing what the capacities are. I'm sure MK is less as they've closed a lot (and are just starting to gain it back) and haven't used any actual expansion pads, but would be interested in knowing.
