Walt Disney World Takes the Top Spot
Walt Disney World is the number 1 theme park chain in the world with 116.5 million 2007 attendance, according to the TEA/ERA report published on March 14.

Universal and Anheuser-Busch Parks Also Rank High on List
Universal Orlando Resort theme parks took third place in the TEA/ERA list of top theme park chains in the world with attendance of 26.4 million. Busch Entertainment parks, which include local favorites SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay came in sixth with reported attendance of 22.3 million in 2007.

All of Orlando’s Theme Parks Make List of Top 25 Theme Parks Worldwide
Virtually every one of the 8 major Orlando theme parks made the top 25 list, and half of them – all Disney parks – were in the top 10.
1 – Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World
6 – Epcot at Walt Disney World
7 – Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World
8 – Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World
11 – Universal Studios at Universal Orlando Resort
12 – SeaWorld Orlando
15 – Islands of Adventure at the Universal Orlando Resort
19 – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Grabbing the top spot, Disney’s Magic Kingdom reportedly had a whopping 17 million visitors last year. You can join in that crowd by getting your Disney tickets today!

Orlando Water Parks Also Placed Among the World’s Best
Orlando water parks nabbed 4 of the top 20 spots on the list of world’s best water parks.
Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, both at the Walt Disney World Resort, placed 1st and 2nd respectively, while Wet N’ Wild came in 4th. Busch’s Adventure Island in Tampa Bay ranked number 15 on the list that included water parks from as far away as Korea and Australia.

Attendance was up at all of the Orlando water parks in 2007, but they have some new competition this year with the opening of Aquatica at SeaWorld.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom saw the biggest jump in attendance, thanks to Expedition Everest, a crazy coaster that’s worth the price of admission (especially when you get your discount Disney tickets here!).
