It's just one quarter of all their parks. Not too bad. Especially since we've seen attendance at USO&IOA go down .
Comcast as a whole saw decreasing profits .
They did a stock buyback to goose their stocks .

Thats for the whole parks division, not just Orlando. It’s not like it could do some much bigger number.

+USH is down
+UOR attendance is down (USF and IOA)
Singapore is in the middle of a major investment (just opened Minions). And Japan is awaiting Pokemon.
HHN was a massive hit this year... so I'm actually surprised to see it that low with a combined new park + HHN event that is exploding at the seams.
Not much of a shock to me, but Q4 should be interesting to see.

We're only discussing the most recent quarter, not the full year.
As far as capacity, there are no restrictions on gate capacity at this time (and there haven't been in quite a while)

You know what's funny?
Are you suggesting that Comcast since spin off their parks into a separate entity?!?

Maybe Disney can buy them. Then we’d finally get those 5th, 6th & 7th gates we’ve been asking for.Are you suggesting that Comcast since spin off their parks into a separate entity?!?

If you asked a question, they’d probably answer as best as they could.
But if you’re expecting a frontline, entry-level employee in any service industry to offer real depth or nuance in that answer - your expectations are a lot higher than reality can deliver.
I wonder how many people are participating in games that most play tailgating or summer parties… I would venture not many people would waste their time in a theme park paying premium dollars to do so….I would rather have them keep it more in theme as a reason they can not see the experiment demonstration… I remember once at DAK Everest was closed and cast members use the simple explanation that the Yeti escaped… I would rather than then untamed party games
Then express that when you get surveys from the parks. Leadership at the parks don't go in blind making these decisions.

Yes, by all means. Shoo away the people who spend more on merch and food, visit more often (while actually being cheaper to host thanks to their shorter visit lengths), and keep the park’s cash flow steady during slow periods.
Your hatred of annual passholders doesn’t line up with business reality. So go ahead, show me on the doll where the passholders hurt you:

Normally I would agree, but Epic clearly can not handle the added influx of locals coming just to hang out yet. It currently cannot handle the crowds from just single day tickets without a large percentage of those visitors having an awful day in 2-3 hour lines. I'm assuming that's why the other poster said that its a good thing that Epic does not have AP yet.

I'm fully aware that they're there to answer questions.
The part I take issue with is placing Walmart lawn games in front of a big, beautiful, expensive E-ticket. I get what whoever decided to do this was going for - "give them something to do instead of nothing", but the result is it is worse optics than just not doing that.
I've seen busier.

You haven’t seen Donnie’s rants about AP holders in these forums before?
Seriously, he’s obsessed with them…. to him they are nothing but parasites.
It's not the only way, but that gets those answers in front of the people who can take action far more quickly than a message board.
If that were the argument, I'd agree completely
But Donnie has an issue with annual passholders, viewing them as "freeloaders" and making very negative and false generalizations about the passholder community as a whole.
