Part 2 Definitions
We collect guest & ride volume. Why?
➢ Accidents per million guests and accidents per million rides
are comparative measures of safety performance
➢ Levels of business fluctuate over time and from place-to-place
➢ Analogy: Fuel consumption (litres per 100km or miles per gallon)
is one measure of a car’s performance.Park definitions
