Earnings from Q2 signify both a continued normalization and hope for sustained growth in the theme park industry. Meanwhile, Universal is expanding to NYC for Halloween.
While Disney's income dip isn't exciting for investors, it signals that the tourism industry continues to moderate post-pandemic. Six Flags and Cedar Fair also released their final separate earnings; there's hope in those reports. Meanwhile, Universal has hijacked the news again by expanding Halloween Horror Nights to New York City.
