All this talk of ways to increase attendance but I have not heard anything about how increased staff to visitor interaction can be a shown to affect gate revenue. If blockbuster exhibits = increased attendance (that's the theory right?? HA!) can the same be said of blockbuster floor experiences? Paul M.
