Some of these, rightfully, criticised the government of the time for building a structure and only later deciding its content. Others balked at £800 million ($1.25bn/€950m) cost and “lack” of visitors. Sold for a knock-down price in 2005 to concert promoter AEG, the venue lost money and failed to meet the over ambitious 12.8 million attendance target. Nevertheless the Dome pulled in 6.5 million guests – in just 12 months – making it one of Europe’s busiest attractions after Disneyland Paris. Granted, it received a lot media attention (and all publicity is good publicity, right?), but how many attractions do you know that can break even or attract those sorts of visitor numbers in their first year? In the hands of AEG, the Dome has flourished as live music venue the O2, while across the channel Disneyland Paris remains Europe’s most popular tourist attraction, celebrating its 20th anniversary this month. Yet even this has not escaped criticism since it opened its gates in Marne-la-Vallée outside Paris in April 1992. The deal with the French government, and associated property developments around the park, was one area of particular consternation. Cultural differences were perhaps inevitable. When a second park, Walt Disney Studios, opened at Disneyland Paris Resort in 2002, some noted that it was a rather lacklustre version of Disney MGM (now Hollywood) Studios in Florida. They were surely right, which is why hundreds of millions of euros worth of improvements have been made in recent years. Yet with over 10 million annual guests, and a further 4.5 million at the Studios park, Disneyland Paris is an attendance success story. Alas, 20 years after its debut, the park’s owner Euro Disney is still spectacularly in debt. Many industry experts attribute this to over construction, but as Walt Disney Studios proves, it’s also false economy to under invest. Nevertheless the company appears committed, and has already outlined its interest in building a third park at Marne-la-Vallée. Just as you should never judge a book by its cover, you should never judge an attraction purely by its visitor numbers, but for some critics out there it wouldn’t be a bad place to start.

  • Does It Have Fur Or Feathers? a Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions
    Does it have fur or feathers? A Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions Author: Frank Cornelissen Author ANR: U0396714 Supervisor: Pieter Cornelis 2nd Reader: Greg Richards Date: August 17th, 2010 Tilburg University Tilburg School of Social and Behavioural Sciences Department of Leisure Studies Preface & Acknowledgements One should think that the concept of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ would apply after finishing my bachelor thesis, yet a little over four months ago I once again found myself at the beginning of what then seemed an impossible task. The goal? To devise an empirically founded categorisation of theme park attractions. That task may seem simply at first, but when looking at attractions in the likes of, to name but a few, Tower of Terror, Hocus Pocus Hall, The Flying Dutchman, Lisebergtower, Hex or Dragon Khan, it will seen become apparent that each and every of these attractions is highly unique. As the seemingly endless imagination and the incredible skills that come into play in converting the most impossible of ideas into reality was part of what raised my interest in the theme park industry many years ago, that didn’t come as a surprise. It did, however, make things considerably more difficult. Luckily, I wasn’t on my own in taking on this challenge. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Pieter Cornelis; I would not have been able to finish my thesis without his support, guidance, wisdom and ruthless criticism. I sincerely appreciate the advice Fetene Tekle, Marie-Anne Mittelhaeuser and especially Theo van der Weegen have given me regarding statistics in general and dimension reduction of dichotomous data in particular.

This brief has been prepared at the request of the Margate Renewal Board (25th April 2008), Thanet District Council’s Cabinet, (12 December 2007) and Council (21st February 2008). The brief establishes development principles applicable to the Arlington site located to the south of Margate Sands and Marine Terrace, to the east of All Saints Avenue. The site comprises a major landmark within the town and Margate seafront whose refurbishment and redevelopment form a key element of regeneration aspirations for Margate seafront.
