Safety & Incident Risk: Any major safety incident at a park can severely damage brand reputation and lead to regulatory scrutiny.
Competition: Intense competition from other amusement parks, resorts, and alternative entertainment options.
Regulatory & Environmental Compliance: Adherence to strict safety, environmental, and land-use regulations.
