Maybe you all know it's out there from one of the neo-classical park
or coaster forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned here on RRC. (And
if it was noted and I missed it, sorry.)
Anyhow, this is still a newsgroup (isn't it?) and an attendance report
is newsworthy to some, so enjoy.

now if we could only find a link to a site that would get people to
stop going on and on and on about how they're boycotting SF and CF
parks :^P

Looking at the North American park lists on pages XII-XIII...
Which park was number 11 in 2005? Whoever it was, they've dropped
out of the top 20 entirely - that's a heckuva drop! Especially
given that there were parks with 8-10% attendance drops that still
managed to move a couple places up.
Knowing which parks were 17 and 19 in 2005 would be good, too, as
they've dropped out of the top 20 as well.

Don't get me started on that. I never said I was boycotting CF
parks. I said KI.

Just a guess, but Astroworld?

I think Astroworld used to do in the 1.5-1.9 range. That 20 spot may
have been either SFoT or SFoG. SFoT used to get close to 3 recently.
I dropped off to around 2.2-2.4.
Also, is there a reason why HP is listed above SFGAd, or just a
misprint?

regenerate and come back. Just depends on how much damage is done.

Believe it or not, I DON'T follow other message forums. I'm on the
Disboards, but as far as Thrillnetwork, CFB, or other neo-classical
forums, nope. So assuming that people will see it on the other
message forums is not true, and posting it here is much appreciated.

One of those (probably #17) would probably be Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk,
which got three million visitors this year, which they say is flat from
last year.
They point out in the rules that they don't list parks that don't have
specific gated admission charges. They also specifically mention not
including SCBB because it's not gated.
However, they only seem to apply this rule to US parks, since several parks
listed on the overall and other regional charts (Blackpool Pleasure Beach
and Yokohama's Sea Paradise, to name two) don't have admission charges.
I'm not sure if this is an oversight, or a deliberate difference in how
they list parks.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by
the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree
in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support
him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not
to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he
fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is
unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or
anyone else."

I just found an attendance list I had saved on the computer with the top 15
parks from 2005.
#11 was Circus Circus in Vegas. Which explains why it dropped off the
list, since it too didn't meet the new criteria of having a set admission
charge.
