U.S. theme parks have endured an onslaught of wild weather this year ranging from unprecedented rainfall and excessive heat warnings to Canadian wildfires and California hurricanes.
Park closures and reduced crowds caused by the California rains contributed to a 17% drop in attendance at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park and California’s Great America in Santa Clara during Cedar Fair’s second quarter.
California’s heavy rains were also blamed for a 9% decrease in 2023 season pass sales — largely at Knott’s and Great America. California’s “monsoon-like conditions” in the company’s first quarter resulted in lower season pass sales in the second quarter that impacted overall attendance.Impacts from North America’s disruptive weather patterns weren’t isolated to Cedar Fair’s California parks.
Air quality issues caused by Canadian wildfire smoke hurt attendance at Canada’s Wonderland in the Toronto area. Unprecedented rainfall and extreme temperatures plagued Cedar Fair parks on the East Coast. Cedar Fair estimates that high temperatures, heavy rains and wildfire smoke accounted for 300,000 fewer visitors in the quarter.
