Risks Related to Our Business

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px">We compete for discretionary spending with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation and leisure
industry, including the current economic downturn.

Our parks compete for discretionary spending with other amusement, water and theme parks and
with other types of recreational activities and forms of entertainment, including movies, sports events, restaurants and vacation travel. Our business is also subject to factors that generally affect the recreation and leisure industries and are not
within our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits. The difficult regional economic conditions and recessionary periods may adversely impact attendance
figures and guest spending patterns at our parks, and disproportionately affect different segments of our target customers within our core markets. Both attendance and guest per capita spending at our parks are key drivers of our revenues and
profitability, and reductions in either can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability.

adversely affected by forecasts of bad or mixed weather conditions.
