Cedar Fair revenue up, attendance down in second quarter

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Net revenues for the quarter ended June 26, 2005, increased 3% to $148.9 million from $145.0 million in 2004, on a 3% increase in average in-park guest per capita spending and a decrease of 2%, or approximately 62,000 visits, in combined attendance. Over this same period, out-of-park revenues, including resort hotels, increased 8%, or $2.1 million.

Read the press release from Cedar Fair.

Ajrides: During the 2000 and 2001 seasons, VF used to put on a laser and fireworks show that would outblast many small to mid-size cities' 4th of July displays. Every night, all summer long. Better yet, you got a spectacular view from PT.

Then they scrapped them--possibly post 9/11 insurance fears, possibly due to a loss of sponsorship, maybe a little of both.

The change in attendance numbers? Not much. The guest retention during late hours? If what I've seen this season is any indication, SV does a much better job of keeping them around a little longer.
