💨 Abstract

Trade disputes between the U.S. and China are impacting regional amusement parks. While parks like Playland’s Castaway Cove and Dollywood report good attendance, tariffs on imported goods and economic uncertainty pose challenges. Park owners are absorbing extra costs and adjusting plans, such as ordering supplies early or delaying openings. Consumers are seeking deals and planning budgets carefully, with potential impacts on future trip planning.
