Lets say they get 1,5000,000 million guest in a year, that's a average for around 4100 people a day, some days might be 3000, some days 6000, but lets go with the average.

How much do they pay for entry?

There are many options; https://movieworld.com.au/tickets

Some kind of good value if you are visiting all the parks, but I'm going to say the average entry price is $80.

80 times 1,500,000 guests is only $120,000,000 in ticket sales a year.

Plus extras, fast ride pass ($2,000,000), photos( $7,000,000), food and drink, ( $11,000,000 profit only)

(example calculation - 800k people a year spend a average of $35 each on food = $28,000,000 in food sales across all outlets, for above I guessed a profit) 

 

Lets just say total yearly Income is $140,000,000

 

 

  • Now they have the star parade nearly? everyday?
  • For just  over a hour (including prep time)  we need to prepare about 40 staff and maintain costumes and float cars, and section off the road and run the show.

I think it costs $950,000 a year to run this show.

  • Hollywood stunt driver 

I think it cost's $2,000,000 a year to run the show, plus another $1 million in bankroll for direct maintenance in the area   

  • The wildwest falls was a long ago $18,000,000 investment but I think it's running/water treatment/ and maintenance costs exceed $4,000,000 a year.

 

  • major attraction has reached the end of its life and is cleared and a new one constructed at a cost of $22,000,000

      Water and electric bills total $4,000,000 a year

 

Now we are at $106,000,000 a year, minus these costs so far

  • We employ 20 senior engineers and management staff at a total cost in wages and benefits at  $3,000,000
  •          Hundreds of other staff are employed with their wages costing $ 20,000,000 a year.
  • Advertising and Online website fees $5,000,000 a year
  • All maintenance and painting or other major attractions and roller coasters $8,000,000 a year 

 

Now we are down to $70,000,000 cash a year in our pockets

 

 

I will stop playing the game now, but you can share your thoughts where I might be right or wrong.

I feel if I keep running expenses We will be lucky to have a 15% profit margin i think

I'm aware there could be debts from various upgrades through out the years but the overall site value is probably more than 200million.

This is just a bit of fun for me....

I mean it’s a fun exercise if you were looking for something to do - but 99% of your figures are straight guess work.

any estimation of revenue  from gate sales requires at least some knowledge of what the sales mix of attendees are (ie day pass, annual pass, some other holiday pass). On an off peak Tuesday you may find 80% of your visitors are annual pass holders, so there is no direct gate income in that day from a large portion of your crowd. 
 

then the avg duration of stay for annual pass holders - something not able to be tracked, as that then impacts revenue per head on F&B (annual pass holders more like to leave before lunch, or arrive after) and merch (annual pass holders less likely to buy on any given day). 
 

There is a myriad financial lines to consider; of which you have only handled a few. 
 

but as I said, if it was just an activity in fun, then it’s accuracy is of little consequence
