It would be interesting, and probably quite scary, to know what the margins are for something like Legends. I suspect that they have to get huge numbers of people through the gates because the margin on each ticket is so small.
I don’t know whether anyone else caught it, but there was a gardening programme on recently that visited someone growing chrysanthemums on an industrial scale – they literally have millions growing at any one time, for the supermarket trade. So they’re coining it in, right? They stated that they got back 3p from each pot, at £2.50 in the supermarket. That’s right – three pence. While most planes at Legends are not delicate flowers (the DrI tipped over by the Sea Fury maybe an exception?), I can’t help feeling that the business model depends on a LOT of people buying tickets to make anything on it.
