Learn to read. The financials are not published because it is privately owned.

"It's difficult to determine exactly how much revenue Dollywood generates annually, as the privately held business remains protective of its financials. A regular, one-day ticket costs $42.40, and season passes are $26.60 more--prices that hold up against regional thrill-ride competitors Six Flags Over Georgia ($44.99 for single admission) and Cincinnati's King's Island ($29.95 single admission)."

With concessions even you can interpolate over 100M per year at Dollywood.

Deleted: personal attack. Both financially and attendance wise Beale St. is not number one, Dollywood and Smoky Mt. National Park are.

Not just something you made up by yourself.

Beale St. is simply not Tennessee's #1 tourist attraction. It is eclipsed dollar wise by Graceland and Dollywood and greatly eclipsed attendance wise by the National Park. Your link had a picture, but the author was stating an opinion not based in fact.

You are wrong Deleted: no personal attacks.

Just take a quick look. Your counting everyone who walks thru the gate. There are tons of coupons, discounted packages, comps, children under 3 are free and tickets are good for 2-3 days (people could very well be counted multiple times, very likely from a marketing standpoint). Your numbers are baseless. You have no idea what you are talking about. Your whole diatribe is an assumption. You can't produce hard numbers.

Apply the same to your Beale St. projections. Factor in Happy Hour and people who walked their checks Even though the financial data is not published, I was resourceful enough to determine a way to accurately estimate revenue. Even you can see that after concessions they are well over 100 million dollars.

You can't just sit there and state that because the numbers are private that it did not happen. That is simply foolish. The price is published and the attendance numbers are published. Also,you never attempted to address Graceland (Memphis's #1 tourist attraction) or the National Park that leads the NATION in attendance. You're like some religious nutcake with his fingers in his ears, saying "IS NOT!"

You're simply wrong, so why don't you just man up and move on.

The numbers given are the official revenues! It doesn't matter if it was happy hour and someone walked out on their check, hahaha! I just addressed your assumptions. You don't know revenues, you don't know profits, period. You did not factor in discounts, comps, chldren 3 & under, multiple entries, etc. You simply came up with your own number by multiplying ticker counts & adult admission. Your numbers are false.

And you are beyond hope if you believe 30M > 100+M. Even based on opinion only, the opinion that Beale St. is the #1 tourist attraction in Tennessee is ludicrous. The numbers don't support it, either dollars or bodies. It's not even the number one in Memphis.


I'm done with you.

Where did the $100M number come from? From thin air, that's where. You're done and can't address that point? I accept your surrender. LOL!

No, but it evidently passed through thin air. Yes, boo. Deleted: personal attack.
