I know this wouldn't be the same for every market, but a half-million in the last two months in the context of the entire year's attendance sure does offer compelling evidence on why parks really want to do holiday events. Certainly that doesn't come for free, and there are the usual costs with staffing, utilities and marketing, but still. That's a lot of "bonus."

Wow. That’s roughly 25% of their attendance for the year in 16% of their operating days (based on 36 days in November & December vs 220 total operating days in the 2018 schedule). I never would’ve guessed these holiday events would be THAT popular. I wonder how Halloween events compare?
But then again, what do I know?
