I haven’t done any technical calculations. On a quick glance I’d say all of this parking is about half the size of the park itself. Very little parking inside the main park boundaries, which is mostly for service vehicles (these spaces aren’t highlighted).
Just something I was curious about, it’s wild how much we accommodate, and how much space we waste, for cars.
Edit: not shown is the large lot southeast of the park. It is about three times the size of the lot to the southwest. There are other lots further outside the picture that add additional parking space not shown. Thanks to RvTV95XBeo for pointing this out.
Parking Land could be it’s own theme park.
Disney and rocky mountain national Park both have they same feel to me when you drive up. The widest road you’ve ever seen leading to a toll booth and a parking lot. It just makes you wonder if there might be a more efficient way to move people.
