A few things to note:
1) Magic Kingdom is once again the #1 theme park in the world; imagine the attendance once the darn park actually increases in size
2) Sea World Orlando is now the #1 theme park in America not named Disney.
3) Universal (both Orlando parks) are really reeling a bit, with Universal dropping over 10% in the last year.
4) California Adventure is creeping into the top 10; years after Disney realized what a disaster it was---almost giving 9 of the Top 10 slots to Disney.
5) 10 of the Top 25 theme parks around the world have the Disney name…isn’t that something?
6) Where is Cedar Point?
7) One would wonder how much better the attendance of Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom would be if they have monorail tracks included
8) The Netherlands have a theme park creeping into the top 25 with a massive attendance boost of 25%. Funny fact: that park is actually older than Disneyland
9) Despite the reputation of being forever-second place, Universal has 4 parks in the Top 25; including Japan and California.
10) Japan owns 5 of the top 25 theme parks, with America containing 12.
11) Next year, I see the rankings in the top 10, being more or less the same, with California Adventure replacing Everland. Then I predict Islands of Adventure hitting the Top 15 thanks to Harry Potter
Pointless trivia for the week. Enjoy!
