Cool little fact of VMK

Hey everyone, I found this site from the 2006 annual reports from Disney, It amazed me of how many people came on VMK in just 1 year.

VIRTUAL FUN FOR YOUNGER GUESTS: VIRTUAL MAGIC KINGDOM
In 2005, a new kind of online theme park experience was introduced: Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK), a Web-based world with electronic adventures that match real-world activities at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Since then, an estimated 1.7 million online characters have been created and more than 90,000 VMK players came to our parks to continue their online experiences with real-world quests. This combination of real- and Web-world adventures generates powerful incentives for a new generation of Disney fans to spend more of their leisure time with us.
Kinda makes you think how may there were when it closed..

I know! I know I came to get more In-Park quests to trade on VMK! I practically begged my mom to take me to Disneyland! And look what happened. They made more money and they still closed it down.

You bring up a great topic! In 2006 I would've never guessed the Virtual Magic Kingdom grew up to over 1.7 million online characters and friends. I can't believe how big that number is! In 2007 is when VMK actually had it's growth spurt of new characters, but who knows how many were on the server at the same time every single day! That's a cool little fact.
