Thanks for the attention!
Wow... universal Studios park get 1/3 of the magic kingdom park's visitors and a little bit more than an half of DHS visitors??
ReplyDeleteThat's very strange!!!
ANd even more strange that IOA get less visitor than Universal studios.
Well... maybe when Wizzarding World of Harry potter will open the visitor number is destinate to grow
It is really great list and thanks for sharing. Theme parks have major attractions for travelers and enhance the tourist attractions variety gradually that is a major cause, increasing the visitors’ statistics rapidly.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards,
What always,always amazes me, is that Disney's MK gets 6 mill. plus visitors than the next Epcot. I kind of understand what the others (Universal/Seaworld parks etc.) don't get them.
ReplyDeleteThe reason (in my opinion) being that they basically Disney fans not really theme park fans in general but Disney fans.
But really, common 6 more million people don't bother to go to Epcot/Holl. Studios/Animal Kingdom.
I know that number is probably tainted in a way from Florida residents, etc. but still there a lot of people that just goes to Magic Kingdom.
To me that's amazing.
You're absolutely right, Fran! It's incredible how much is the difference between the parks!!!
