Those doom-and-gloomers over at Mouseplanet.com have just posted the following info...
---
"Even taking into account the erratic weather L.A. has been getting lately (basically days and days of non-stop rain) a clear pattern is emerging as to the attendance numbers for the new California Adventure park.
As a result, these patterns have been reflected in the new attendance estimates that have been released for the next 5 weeks. To quote one long time observer "they are almost shocking. And yet also fascinating, at the very least."
Basically, the estimates for DCA have been slashed by 30% to 50% for March, while Disneyland numbers stay pat or increase slightly. Here are a few choice examples of the attendance estimates, planned / revised...
Friday, March 2
DCA 8 am - 12 am
Planned: 30,000
Revised: 13,000
Disneyland 10 am - 10 pm
Planned: 25,000
Revised: 26,000
--------------------------------------------
Saturday, March 3
DCA 8 am-12 am
Planned: 33,000
Revised: 20,000
Disneyland 9 am - 12 am
Planned: 42,000
Revised: 43,000
There is also news that the Mulholland Madness ride is out of commission for the time being. Too many complaints and/or injuries, evidently.
Stay tuned.
