Attendance Figures for the First Half of Fiscal Year 2006
URAYASU, CHIBA—The total combined attendance at
Tokyo Disneyland Park and
Tokyo DisneySea Park during the first half of this fiscal year (April 1 to September 30, 2006) amounted to 12,044,000 persons, which is 3.3% more than the attendance figure for the same period last year.
The first half of this fiscal year started off well at Tokyo Disneyland with the special
event
“Lilo & Stitch’s Big Panic – Find Stitch,” which started in April and was quite popular over its three-month run. Things are also proceeding according to expectations at Tokyo DisneySea, where the Park’s 5th anniversary celebration, which began in July, continues to draw many guests through a variety of programs. Combined attendance figures show an increase of 382,000 persons compared with the same period last year.
Furthermore, there were a number of consecutive days in which large numbers of
guests rode the
Tower of Terror after its opening on September 4 at Tokyo DisneySea. Though the effect was short-term, it still contributed to a boost in attendance at the Park.
For Reference: Park Attendance for the first half of fiscal year 2005 (April 1 to
September 30):
11,662,000 persons (Tokyo Disneyland Park and Tokyo DisneySea Park
guests ages 4 and above)
