- Wonder why their attendance was up so much this year? ;^)

- Bet they see a big increase in 1993!

- Noting like souping up your Cyclone coaster to boost attendance!

- What do you wanna bet that the appearance of Fiesta Texas dipped into
- Sea World's attendance a bit? (Though you'd think that Sea World should
- benefit from Fiesta Texas drawing folks to San Antonio.)

- The Salt Lake area has been exploding in population recently. (It's
- been ``discovered'' as a great place to live, which means it won't be
- for long. Compare with Seattle 10 years or so ago.) They didn't do
- anything special last year (and seemed to advertise less, if anything),
- so I'm sure the increase is entirely to due population increases
- in/around SLC.
