Mickey Gets The Brush Off
Attendance at North American theme parks fell by 3.2 million visits this year, largely due to a sluggish world economy that kept international visitors at home, according to an industry survey. Attendance at the 50 most-visited theme parks in North America this year was 170 million, down from 173.2 million in 2001, according to the annual survey by Amusement Business, a trade magazine. Almost three-fifths of those parks showed attendance decreases from last year. The decline amounted to a drop of just under 2 percent. Attendance at regional parks was stagnant, partly because many smaller parks were reluctant to build new rides, given the uncertain economy and unpredictable travel habits. Overall, international visits at Walt Disney World were down about 20 percent, according to analysts. In Orlando, home to seven of North America's best-attended parks, international traffic at the airport was down almost 25 percent for the year.
