12	Darkbeer Tue 12/27/2005 1:10p	^ Yes, it is correct... But it is the Six Flags Great America park in Illinois, NOT Paramount's Great America in San Jose.
13	Darkbeer Tue 12/27/2005 2:12p	Let's look at the AB/ERA 2005 numbers from a Average Daily Attendance viewpoint. (I am going to the parks operating schedule to figure out the days open, and then dividing it into the year attendance, then rounding). 1. Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, 44,110 2. Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. 39,725 3. Paramount Canada's Wonderland in Maple, Ontario, 28,350 (127 days) 4. Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando, 27,125 5. Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, 23,560 6. Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, 22,465 7. Paramount's Kings Island in Kings Island, Ohio, 21,855 (151 days) 8. Morey's Piers in Wildwood, N.J., 21,680 (143 days) 9. Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, 21,380 (145 days) 10. Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa., 21,260 (127 days) 11. Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Ill., 20,440 (137 days) 12. Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J., 17,900 (162 days) 13. Universal Studios in Orlando, 16,715 14. Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, Calif., 15,890 15. Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Va., 15,855 (164 days) 16. Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando, 15,780 17. SeaWorld Orlando, 15,345 18. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, Calif., 14,020 (214 days) 19. Universal Studios Hollywood, 12,950 (363 days) 20. Adventuredome at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, 12,330 21. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, 11,780 22. SeaWorld San Diego, 11,235 23. Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, Calif., 10,220 (274 days) 24. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., 9,960 (231 days) 25. Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., 9,535 (364 days)
14	trekkeruss Tue 12/27/2005 2:25p	I guess it's fun to look at all these statistics, but I don't really understand what I am supposed to gleen from them. Maybe I could say that it's no wonder Darkbeer finds Knott's cleaner than DL... they barely have 1/4 the guests!
15	cstephens Tue 12/27/2005 4:44p	Where's the breakdown of which parks sell more popcorn and churros by volume? I'd find that interesting and particularly telling. /cs

For example, because Canada Wonderland is only open during the busy summer period, and not during the very slow months, it's daily attendance is actually higher than Epcot. The thing is, however, that during the 127 days Wonderland is open (June, July, August, or whatever), I'm willing to bet Epcot has a much higher daily attendance than Wonderland.
17	Indigo Tue 12/27/2005 8:11p	I'd also like to see the AB/ERA judged against total estimated capacity for each park. ie, which parks are consistantly meeting their goals. These are numbers I'm sure industry insiders have.

19	itsme Wed 12/28/2005 11:10a	Maybe its just me cause when i go i hit all the parks but i find it odd that of the 4 parks in DW, MK gets about twice the #'s that the other 3 get. I guess the local day trippers just go to MK that much more.
20	wahooskipper Wed 12/28/2005 12:11p	Everyone wants to do MK...since it is the granddaddy and some visitors are willing to skip one or more of the other parks "until the next trip."
