Cost of a visit? (SPOILERS)

Okay, so the number of "hosts" greatly outnumber the guests. How much would a (let's say weekend) visit cost...in order to keep the place financially viable? (We also have to consider the park's large technical staff, who would be paid more than mere popcorn vendors.)

So, is the bulk of it actually funded by the investors, who expect a payoff further down the road from the intellectual property developed in the robots?

I don't understand how the place funds its apparently high overhead.

HELP!

Robots don't need to be paid a salary.

I think I read it was like 30,000 or 40,000 a day on their website. They had one set up that was like a "real" park site for visitors. I can't find it now so not sure its still up. (I didn't look hard tho ;))

40k+/day. As I recall, they mentioned that they have 1400 visitors at the same time and 2000 robots. That many guests would generate 56M+/day.

Wow, that's a lot. The upkeep would be crazy expensive too though.
