    Memo Report ATTENDANCE POTENTIALS, PLANNING FACTORS AND FINANCIAL POTENTIALS FOR THE PROPOSED ROCKLIN QUARRY ADVENTURES PARK INTRODUCTION In June of 2016, Economic Consulting Services (ECS) was retained by the City of Rocklin, CA to conduct a preliminary market, attendance, and financial analysis for a proposed development in town. The proposed development is a hybrid adventure park to be located within the city’s Quarry Park. It is to be developed and operated by Legacy Family Entertainment LLC and will be funded through the City of Rocklin pension fund. In this regard, this report provides the client with an overview of the markets available to support this development, an assessment of the level of attendance that may be generated by this project, and a financial overview based on the attendance potential and market spending patterns in the local area. This analysis is considered as being essential to provide enough information as to the amount and type of entertainment space that should be included in the mix as well as a general determination of the financial return of this project, so that the client group can make internal decisions as to the viability and profitability of the project. As part of the planning process, Economic Consulting Services (ECS) has been retained to (1) give an independent assessment of the project; (2) determine the markets available to support the subject attraction; (3) review the concept development that best fits the available land, that takes optimum advantage of the available economic opportunity, and that will create a critical mass of facilities to attract the required patronage; (4) assess the general development potentials for this attraction, including attendance and financial potentials and (5) determine the project’s warranted investment.
