Two weeks since opening, Beijing World Carnival has received 275,000 tourists. However, that number is less than what was expected.

The lower than expected attendance figure is mostly to do with the rainy weather Beijing has been getting.

Another four brand new game machines have passed examination and have now been set up for Carnival goers to try out.

Previously, the Carnival had a number of power failures, which made upset for some customers.

Organizers say they regret these incidents and they are looking into providing some refunds to those visitors who have been inconvenienced.
