There's probably a statistical "Fun-Fact" out there that states that Soarin' or Screamin' had larger numbers than DCA first-time entry clicks. Oh no, I think my head is gonna asplode! I'm undoubtedly missing something here, just like Crapshoot.

No wonder planning and development of the park became so easily messed up.
Originally Posted By crapshoot <<There is no feasable argument or evidence presented that this count really means anything...>> Certainly, this absolutely means nothing. It is both halarious as well as ironic. But we all possess The Amusement Business' '05 DCA attendance figures. Either we agree with those numbers or not. I for one do. And a D/L Manager provided me with the Buzz Lightyear click totals for '05 and putting both numbers up against one another, the outcome is pretty funny. Sorry if some of you are too sensitive to "Poor-Wittle-DCA" having to once again defend itself, this time from a D-Ticket, "Buzz-Lightyear-Bully across the way.
