SF is reporting an attendance drop (blaming weather, mostly), while CF seems to be experiencing different results:

Six Flags has maintained pricing integrity. Per caps up 11 percent. Earnings up....

Also read that CNN article carefully. It acknowledges that FUN recent attendance is not up. Thus the sales, events, etc.

Profit is far more important than attendance.

See also today's SIX and FUN prices...

It was a link to a business article...not a commentary.

I know. I'm just adding "color."

It's what I do.

Make it Any Colour you Like

Cedar Fair will release there attendance report on August 3rd. Can't wait for a compare and contrast of both chains,

The. Numbers are in Cedar Fair is down 104,000 in attendance (water main break @ CP closed for a weekend in June and flood at ValleyFair) compared to Six Flags down around a million less visits compared to 2013!

182,000 drop in attendance (2% drop)

See my CF Q2 thread.

And the FUN per caps did not make up for the attendance drop.

The SIX ones...did.
