Posted | Contributed by Jeff

From the press release (PDF):

  • Attendance was 6.1 million guests, a decrease of approximately 0.2 million guests or 2.9% from the second quarter of 2025.
  • Total revenue was $483.3 million, a decrease of $6.9 million or 1.4% from the second quarter of 2025.
  • Net income was $63.3 million, a decrease of $16.8 million or 21.0% from the second quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $195.5 million, a decrease of $10.8 million or 5.2% from the second quarter of 2025.
  • Total revenue per capita increased 1.5% to $79.82 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Admission per capita decreased 1.8% to $40.31 while in-park per capita spending increased 5.1% to a record $39.51 compared to the second quarter of 2025.

I would call this “stable” given the economic environment we are in with international tourism down, weather challenges, and discretionary spending having to cover gasoline and food for many families. If they would bite the bullet and get their ride operations house in order they probably could improve season pass sales and single day sales from enthusiasts adding their parks to a vacation itinerary.
