This is troubling. Big changes will come to the park if the numbers don't improve. It doesn't make sense to me that SDC is struggling while the six flags and cedar fair parks are surging. It's not like SDC is even that much more expensive, or has that fewer rides. I think the older generation that SDC has relied on to fill out it's numbers has finally moved on or been priced out. You guys aren't going to like what they will probably do to pander to the younger generations...
Really hope Pumpkin nights are a success.
Yes, these are poor numbers... The PTB "expected" 4500 on thursday, and 5500 on friday, and actually only about 1/2 that many showed up.
This summers numbers just seem weak to me.. I dont have the "connection" to find out if numbers are up? down? or WAAYY down?.
Maybes someone else here can check with the PR dept and verify.. I would like to know..
We can only hope for a strong next 3 1/2 months,
I dont think their country music days drew the crowd they were looking for, however I do know the local artists that played have a good local following and several of the bransonites did come out to watch them.. the artists- Billy Yates, Eastern Heights, The Missouri Ploughboys and Matt Gumm are all local that either are in shows in town, and in bands after hours or do both.. obviously the local names wont or probalby did not draw people from to far away, since their name wasnt reconized. Although Billy Yates is a very well country artist local, nationally and worldwide..
