A manager at a local theme park - VERITAS

Expert replies
by anksm22 » Wed Sep 02, 2015 5:58 am
A manager at a local theme park has proposed doubling the number of attendants at the part's entrance gates, claiming the new attendants will alleviate line congestion. The manager reasons that, since the wait times at the entrance will be reduced from about thirty minutes to ten minutes, more people will visit the park, and the increased revenue will offset the cost of the extra attendants.

Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the park manager's reasoning is flawed?

A) People who leave the current long lines at the entrance already reduce wait times to some degree

B) The lines at attractions inside the park already make the average wait times inside considerably longer than those at the entrance

C) A majority of people who visit the park have season passes, allowing them to bypass the entrance

D) Many visitors opposing the plan have indicated that they prefer congestion at the entrance to potential overcrowding inside the park

E) Though the number of attendants will double under the managers's plan, the number of visitors might only increase by 25 percent


Please can someone explain why D is wrong .

D is tempting. If people would prefer long waits to overcrowding, then it seems that by getting people through the entrance faster, the park would be making itself less popular.

This reminds me of the time Yogi Berra said of a certain restaurant, "Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded."

Of course, what he said is famous because of its apparently defying logic. What does overcrowding mean? It means that more people are inside the park spending money. So the truth is that even if people would prefer there to be longer waits, if the result of speeding up the lines is a crowded park, then this answer choice does not indicate that the plan won't work.

No. C is not the answer.

I think the answer should be B , if the average wait time inside the park for the rides is still high then people might not spend as much as the manager expects , to offset the additional cost of the new attendants
