This is actually an incredibly smart idea it is kind of crazy. I mean I definitely question how accurately they used the scientific method but I think that is not as much of a problem given the unseriousness of this. But the idea to utilize the technology that is so common nowadays to try to optimize their own business and figure out which experiences they should invest more money in and which directions they should head in in the future for the best audience reactions and most optimized income source. Some people may say that this takes the human and artistic aspects of scare attractions out of it. But artistic industries must move with time into the future and make sure that they make the money they need to continue this industry, given how mercurial it can be both emotionally and financially for both the artists and the management of these companies.
