jzarley Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 SF is reporting an attendance drop (blaming weather, mostly), while CF seems to be experiencing different results: http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/21/investing/six-flags-attendance-drop/index.html 8 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Six Flags has maintained pricing integrity. Per caps up 11 percent. Earnings up.... Also read that CNN article carefully. It acknowledges that FUN recent attendance is not up. Thus the sales, events, etc. Profit is far more important than attendance. See also today's SIX and FUN prices... 5 Quote
jzarley Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 It was a link to a business article...not a commentary. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I know. I'm just adding "color." It's what I do. 3 Quote
Son of King Demon Bat Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Cedar Fair will release there attendance report on August 3rd. Can't wait for a compare and contrast of both chains, Quote
Son of King Demon Bat Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 The. Numbers are in Cedar Fair is down 104,000 in attendance (water main break @ CP closed for a weekend in June and flood at ValleyFair) compared to Six Flags down around a million less visits compared to 2013! Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 182,000 drop in attendance (2% drop) See my CF Q2 thread. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 And the FUN per caps did not make up for the attendance drop. The SIX ones...did. 1 Quote
