Mr. Colin Walsh:

Maybe so, but not when one considers where the industry has come from over the course of the last ten years. For example, between 2008 and 2012 attendance figures dropped by 561,000. The biggest drop in attendance, at 374,000, occurred in 2008-09. There has been a huge resizing of the industry.
