Disney's themepark business is in deep trouble in the post-9/11 world. A war
|
|
with Iraq could really kill 'em:
|
|
|
|
While aggressively adding attractions, Disney boosted its profit by
|
|
steadily raising admission prices. The strategy worked, helping deliver
|
|
record profit for Disney year after year.
|
|
|
|
"The strategy was build, build, build. Every year there was something new,"
|
|
said David Koenig, a Disney historian and author. "It was an astounding
|
|
growth period.... Now they're overexposed."...
|
|
|
|
Theme park operating income for Disney this year is expected to fall 27% to
|
|
$1.16 billion, said Prudential Securities analyst Katherine Styponias. By
|
|
2003, she said, the business could climb to $1.49 billion, depending on
|
|
whether the U.S. goes to war with Iraq.
