Southland Theme Parks Betting on Big Holiday Crowds (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-disney11nov11.story) - Los Angeles Times, 11/11/02

QuikQuote: "Like everyone else we've experienced off attendance since Sept. 11," Disney spokesman Tom Brocato said. "But the bottom line is, we're expecting a strong holiday season. Disneyland is a great place to be for the holidays no matter what."
He noted that the higher prices for annual passes are still far less than those offered 18 months ago, when a premium pass sold for nearly $300. The new price is $225.

Here is what struck me....."Disneyland puts that number (guests that come from within 150 miles of the park) at about 70%"

Is there any doubt that with a great new E-tix ride that the park attendence would spike?
