- How are crowds at Gardaland forecast?
- Each destination draws visitors from several countries and regions: we combine their school holidays, bank holidays and long weekends with the weight of each market (e.g. France, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands for Disneyland Paris), the day of the week (softened during holidays), Halloween and Christmas seasons, published opening hours (parks open longer when they expect crowds) and the 16-day weather forecast. Every night, the crowds we actually measure in the park correct these estimates.
