Should Disneyland and California Adventure be merged into one giant park?
Attendance for California Adventure has been all over the place, to say the least, while Disneyland’s attendance has stayed strong (for the most part) despite the downhill state of the economy. World of Color and events like Glow Fest and ElecTRONica have brought up attendance slightly, but not much compared to Disneyland’s daily numbers.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Bob Iger talked about how Disney officials have considered merging the parks. The costs, though, might outweigh the benefits if this were to be done. Iger mentions how the parks would be merged and one higher priced ticket would buy you everything, but the costs to build transportation to get around the park would be a blow to Disney’s wallet. He explains that the way to bring up California Adventure’s attendance is the current $1 billion construction projects going on in the park (Cars Land, new entrance, etc.)
According to Iger, California Adventure’s attendance numbers rose 20% since the debut of World of Color.
ElecTRONica is also drawing in crowds on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
So what do you think? Should the parks be merged together to create one giant park, and we just pay a higher ticket price? Or should California Adventure remain separated from the main park?
