Wonderla's Q2: The Number Behind the Headline

Wonderla's Q2 results had a headline everyone covered: income up 42%, EBITDA up 90%.

The line I found more interesting was further down.

Guests paid a little less to get in, and spent more once inside.

That's how a park should work. The gate gets people in. The day earns the money. Food, games, merchandise, lockers, photos. Each one is a decision the guest makes in the moment, and each one depends on the day being good enough to stay longer.

After a quarter like this, I'd ask 3 questions of any Indian park:

• How long are guests staying? Spend follows dwell time.
• Where is the extra spend coming from? F&B usually leads, but not always.
• Is the lower ticket price building repeat visits, or just reflecting a different mix of guests?

Ticket price is the easiest number to move. Spend per guest is the one that tells you whether the park is working.
