Halloween events bring in scary good business for theme parks, attractions

Weeks before the last ghoul shrieks bloody murder and last goblin jumps out from the shadows, officials at Busch Gardens are already thinking about next year’s Howl-O-Scream.   Planning for the park’s annual Halloween event is a year-round effort, involving everything from food and entertainment to merchandising and general operations. It’s not enough to dust off the decorations and build the same haunted houses. Attractions have to be ever bigger, better and scarier.   “It’s a huge event for us,” said park president Jim Dean. “We have a lot of people who have made it a tradition, and we have to keep the event fresh every year.”   Next to Christmas and the summer travel season, Halloween has become the third-busiest time of year for many theme parks. Parks don’t release attendance and revenue figures for specific events, but one expert estimates Halloween events generate 10 to 15 percent of a park’s annual revenue.   Read more: http://www.tampabay.com

There is no sound quite like that of children expressing their delight for the arrival of summer – except maybe when they’re told they’re going to Orlando for vacation. The number one tourist destination in the U.S. continues to draw tens of thousands of visitors to its many attractions, the most popular of which are theme parks. This year the big three – Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld Orlando – are prepared to entertain crowds with exciting new experiences of monstrous proportions that are definitely more than meets the eye. 1 SeaWorld Orlando – Antarctica SeaWorld Orlando will soon debut a “cool” new way to beat that heat inside Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, a new “realm” that’s the theme park’s largest expansion in the company’s 50-year history.  Featuring an iceberg-themed area, restaurant, and high-tech new immersive trackless ride that drops temperatures in the 30’s (colder than Florida gets in the winter), Antarctica will certainly turn heads when it officially debuts on May 24. The attraction is topped with 50-foot peaks that aims to bring guests to the South Pole – a far stretch from Orlando’s tropical climate.  The Empire of the Penguin ride will be filled with […]
