Article on Universal's attendance

[Metro West]

Just thought I would share this article from the paper:

I'll be interested in seeing the numbers after the WWoHP opens.

Yes it will be intresting to see when WWoHP opens what the profit-attendance will be.But how is Disney fairing thru these times?
I would love to see that report is in the news!

That and I am not surprised about this, people are waiting for Harry Potter to open before setting up their trips.

$37.3 million profit in three months - works out to $149.2M profit for the year. After all expenses paid. And a major new attraction opening next year. I would not feel too sorry for them just yet.

Well I was just there this past week and could not get over how empty the parks were! It was great as far as not waiting on any lines (I think I am a bit spoiled now), however, I did miss the "buzz" that comes from having more people around.

But I agree...they all seem to be having such tough times, yet they are building and expanding (both Universal and Disney) - so I guess we can't really feel that bad.

Just hope they keep offering contests and incentives on getting free tix!!

It has definitely been empty. There were a few times in the previous weeks that we waited less than 15 minutes for the Rockit. I thought a certain hot place below the earth's surface must have frozen over when that happened!
