NewsParcs, connecting the theme park industry!
NewsParcs will do a full coverage of the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 in Orlando to have a look at the latest trends and developments of the global theme park industry.
The higher turnover was attributable to a 5% increase in average in-park guest per capita and a 6% increase in out-of-park revenues. These were slightly offset by a less than 1% decrease in attendance to 8.7 million visitors mostly due to the sale of one of the group's water parks (Knott's Soak City – San Diego) at the end of 2012.
Cedar Fair underlined that record attendance and guest per capita spending were driven by the positive guest response to the new ride offering, including the record-breaking winged roller coaster 'GateKeeper' at Cedar Point the new 'Boardwalk' themed area at Knott's Bery Farm, the wooden coaster 'Gold Striker' at California's Great America and the combination and expansion of the Oceans of Fun water park with Worlds of Fun. "Our strong capital line-up, coupled with the second year of our 'Thrills Connect' marketing campaign and new e-commerce platform, have resulted in record season pass sales for our 2013 operating season," added Matt Ouimet. "We have also experienced steady growth in group sales this year, as we continue to add value to our offerings, improve catering facilities and have the second-year benefit of an incentivized sales force.”Cedar Fair Entertainment Company has announced new record financial results through the first half of its fiscal 2013 ended on June 30.
