Roy sensed there ought to be some kind of rational limit on reinvestment and he hoped he was approaching it because Walt was spending all the profits - literally.

  • Theme Park Development Costs: Initial Investment Cost Per First Year Attendee – a Historic Benchmarking Study
    Theme Park Development Costs: Initial Investment Cost Per First Year Attendee – A Historic Benchmarking Study Kelly T. Kaak Rosen College of Hospitality Management University of Central Florida ABSTRACT There is an industry “rule of thumb” that when planning for the construction of a theme park, developers should anticipate investing $100 per expected first-year guest. In other words, if the goal is to attract a million paying guests per year, the total investment needs to equal $100,000,000. This ratio is quite common in the literature, but it has never been investigated formally. This study collected the initial investment costs of 52 parks built in the United States, converted that investment into modern dollars, and then divided that dollar cost by the first-year attendance figures. The overall mean or average among the subject parks was $109.61 invested per first-year guest. This figure is very close to the industry “rule of thumb” of investing $100 in construction costs for every desired first-year guest Keywords: theme park, development costs, attendance INTRODUCTION There is an industry “rule of thumb” that when planning for the construction of a theme park, developers should anticipate investing $100 per expected first-year guest. In other words, if the goal is to attract a million paying guests per year, the total investment needs to equal $100 million. This ratio is quite common in the literature, but it has never been investigated formally. This information is easily available. Theme parks, as a part of the development approval process, are required to disclose what the expected attendance will be, so that the surrounding infrastructure needs can be expanded to accommodate the growth.
