« on: March 16, 2014, 07:41:00 AM »
Well the city was off to a good start this year, with 9500 on Friday,  and 11500 on sat.. (give or take)..  But with cold rain and threat of colder temps and snow maybe later, wont be very busy today probably..

Hope it's not too busy this Thursday and Friday. :) Quick question, how does everyone know what the attendance is? I'm used to going to Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks where those numbers are usually kept secret until the end of the year or sometimes they don't release the numbers at all to the public. Just wondering.

Well technically they are not for public knowledge but seem to make their way here regardless.

All you have to do is ask someone at a computer terminal.  Either they will tell you, or they will say something like, "I haven't heard."  Tram operators seem to know, as well.

A member of this site has a friend that works on park, and that friend regularly gives the numbers to our member. The workers on the park are given a projected attendance list, which helps them plan ahead so they have enough staff on duty, and due to weather and other things that happen, that figure changes, of course. At some point in the day, the PTB let supervisors and team leaders know what the actual attendance is, again, primarily for staffing purposes.

All I can say is be careful what information you share this season.  That's all.
