    I think you might be being a bit optimistic so you'll have to save up a bit longer :) Alton Towers along with Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds sold for a wallet breaking £5.9bn in mid-2019, as I'd imagine the two parks are a bigger chunk of this than Tussauds I think you're looking at at least a couple of billion unless anything else was part of that deal. Although I guess these sales also include some future value and there's a lot depends on specifics like who owns exactly what, specifically what was sold, if any land is included, if any other parties involved etc.
    I wonder if the land may not be specifically 'owned' as land is more complex- true value could be even more if land is only leased or something as it is a lot of land. Then there's who owns the Sea Life aspect....
    It may now be fully owned though as I know it's had various changes historically- not 100% sure- could be wrong- but not sure if English Heritage were involved with the towers at one point in the past.
    People are right inflation is a factor along with any I.P. rights such as David Walliams, BBC etc
    So maybe the answer is 'lots, and way above the realms of us mere mortals :)'

    I know you're only joking but you forget about everything that's intangible and you're not including goodwill. The Alton towers branding, and all the other intangible assets it hold have monetary value so if your £450m valuation was accurate for all Towers Assets then probably add another £200m in goodwill for everything intangible.

    • @DigitalDan
      @DigitalDan  2 роки тому

      True that, to be honest I would've added it all but I'd have to then add electric and water bills and stuff so didn't consider it 😂 - maybe next time so cheers for the advice! 🔥

  • @sduff7027
    @sduff7027 2 роки тому

    It makes 700 million revenue every year with 80 million being profile less overheads and with share prices would value the business a lot more then that. Don't forget other assets like buses and the other properties on the land and vehicles owned by them like 4x4 bin lorries so on and so on and I'd me more inclined to belive its worth about 800 million

    • @Dannyjones1
      @Dannyjones1 2 роки тому +2

      If it was to buy the land, buildings, assets and the business itself... Genuinely about 1.5 bil. On average, they take around £400'000 per day... Sometimes more in peak summer. Let that sink in.😜

    • @Dannyjones1
      @Dannyjones1 2 роки тому +2

      Each season they make around £130 million. Google how much they make a day or how much its worth. Plenty of info out there. I know it's tongue and cheek, but as simple as estimating and adding it all up.🤣😜
