Do you think our theme parks will introduce paid parking like they do in the USA. Would it do harm to attendances. What do you think.

I work from 4 pm to 12 and would go down to Movieworld when I woke up and then go home in time to get ready for work I live about 30 minutes away from the park so most days I would go to Movieworld.When do you have time to do things? -
That would be right and I think there are a few people out there who have done nearly the same amount of rides. When Superman first open it was a 10 to 20 minute wait now it is nearly an hour and you just cannot get as many rides in one day I think the best we did one day was 8 rides. I have recorded of how many times I have riden Superman in all that time there have been 9 closed not running at all, 7 breakdowns with an hour or 2 wait, 2 breakdowns with a reopen in the afternoon. We have ridden in every seat and even at night during the Anzac day late opening last ride of the night first ride of the day front seat but have never been on it during a rollback but I have seen it happen twice and nearly $1800 in petrol with over 100 visits to Movieworld in this time and yes I did buy my lunch in the park everytime I got my money's worth out of the yearly pass.Say the average line length is 20 minutes per ride, you would have spent 9060 minutes queuing, or 151 hours. Of course some would be longer and some would be less (probably not so much the latter tho). Thats a pretty epic 6 day wait for a ride that isn't all that great... -
Yes X2 after waiting inline for 2.5 hours and What the Hell have I got myself into moments awesomeAll time favourite, such a hard choice, there are just so many good rides around the world. I'll break mine down into categories though. ALL time favourite Thrilling ride = Hands down, it's the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Favourite "Wow" factor ride = Soarin, I love that ride (I think I rode it in total around 10-11 times during my visit). The "Fun" ride has got to go to Toy Story Midway Mania, such an addictive game/ ride, and seriously fun. If you're ever over that way, don't discount the ride as being "Childish", it is quite awesome. Coaster Wise, it has got to be X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Mind you though, Goliath, Tatsu, Terminator Salvation, and the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk all came pretty close. X2 just took the cake though for it's "What the Hell have I got myself into" moments. -
Last count 453 times on Superman Escape since the day it oprned

I agree the cost of a few booths and staff would not be that much. And how many parking spots are there, Lets say 750 x $5 for parking = $3750 per day x 7 = $26250 a week x 52 = $1365000 per year = a new ride or 1/4 of a decent rollercoaster paid for in a year aleast then they would have capital to spend on the parks How many millions in parking do DL/DCA, US and MM make per year.
