If you think you’d be able to: isolate all the variables, make accurate adjustments for every one of them to account for the change in visitation habits to Blackpool, the change in spending habits, whether it was windier, wetter or colder on the specific opening days of the park and whether the associated forecast was accurate, the change in marketing spread, reach and success, the ride lineup (and importantly how attractive it was to the demographic buying walk-around tickets), what the economy was like, what other events and attractions were occurring to pull visitors away (Olympics, football etc) and in (local events, fireworks, shows etc), how train strikes impacted visits, what the prices of tickets were (they are of course dynamic and are be would have to also account for other offers via hotels, Tesco clubcard etc), and of course anything else I might have forgotten; and one can be accurate enough to both have an adequate data set and measure by how much each factor impacted the purchase of walk-around tickets, such that you could somehow measure with sufficient enough certainty to assess whether implementation of a walk-around pass as of today is commercially worthwhile….
we’ll agree to disagree.
