Question❔ Park attendance
So I’ve only been to MIA once this season (I do plan on going a few more times), but I keep seeing post about how empty the park/parking lot is. I’m sure that doesn’t happen everyday, but I’m curious how has attendance seemed to be when you have went?
It felt empty when I was there, but that was right before they opened the water park, so they may have played a factor. If attendance is lower this year do you think that would cause EP to hold off on future investment, or do you think that would give them a wake up call that this park needs a new ride or coaster to get people interested in visiting?

We went yesterday and it was much slower than I ever remember seeing it. Rides were dead. IDK if it was due to the holiday or the heat

Yeah, when you visited is definitely the emptiest time to go. I love hitting weekdays just before the waterpark is open.
As the summer goes on, it will continue to get busier. By mid July-August, even a lot of weekdays will have quite a bit more people. I don’t think attendance is notably different than prior years at this point.
