TEA just makes them up anyway, regardless of actual attendance. Their methodology is a a Rod Serling Twilight Zone puppet dream :dance: where Disney is the puppet master. :smile:I can't wait so see the TEA numbers this year.
I can't wait so see the TEA numbers this year.
That is what I expect. Oh, and SeaWorld's yearly 190% drop in attendanceFlat year over year at UOR and Disney magically goes up 3% again!
As much as I take TEAs numbers with a grain of salt, I don't have a problem believing SW's numbers a drastically dropping considering the bad press, increased competition from Universal, lack of new attractions and Antarctica's failure.That is what I expect.

SeaWorld sued TEA twice, years before Blackfish.As much as I take TEAs numbers with a grain of salt, I don't have a problem believing SW's numbers a drastically dropping considering the bad press, increased competition from Universal, lack of new attractions and Antarctica's failure.
So? Doesn't change the fact that SeaWorld is struggling. There's simply no getting around that.SeaWorld sued TEA twice, years before Blackfish.
fixed that for youThe Florida site isn't struggling at all, according to the latest earnings call. In fact I think the words used were 'guests still flocked' to the Orlando site. Its San Diego mainly where the troubles lie.
And ask the mainstream public if they think Antarctica flopped and I think people would be surprised. Everyone I saw come off it absolutely loved it. Theme park enthusiasts rarely reflect broader public opinion, as they tend to be unaware of what the ride could have been. Average but fun ride....world class animal exhibit.
San Diego is struggling big time and I wouldn't be surprised if that location collapses eventually.The Florida site isn't struggling at all, according to the latest earnings call.

I wouldn't say "flocking" either, but SWO's numbers should be better than last years. But there is no doubt that Blackfish and Potter knee capped them.San Diego is struggling big time and I wouldn't be surprised if that location collapses eventually.
Orlando is doing well enough to make a profit, but nothing fantastic. I think saying people are "flocking" to SeaWorld is a bit of a stretch.
