Hi! Thanks for the question.
I was able to find a list of the attendance for the top 30 theme parks
in the US. The list was taken from Amusement Business. But since
Google Answers are constrained by copyright laws, I cannot provide all
the 2003 figures in full here. I will just make a table for the top
10.
Theme Park 2003 Attendance Figures (In millions)
1. Magic Kingdom
Orlando, Florida, USA 14.0m
2. Disneyland
Anaheim, California, USA 12.7m
3. Epcot
Orlando, Florida, USA 8.6m
4. Disney-MGM Studios
Orlando, Florida, USA 7.8m
5. Disney's Animal Kingdom
Orlando, Florida, USA 7.3m
6. Universal Studios Florida
Orlando, Florida, USA 6.8m
7. Islands of Adventure
Orlando, Florida, USA 6.0m
8. Disney's California Adventure
Anaheim, California, USA 5.3m
9. Sea World Orlando
Orlando, Florida, USA 5.2m
10. Universal Studios Hollywood 4.5m
Universal City, California, USA
I wasn?t able to get direct figures for 2002 but since the sources
mention the percentage change of attendance from last year, we can
calculate them as well.
Theme Park 2002 Attendance Figures (In millions)
1. Magic Kingdom
Orlando, Florida, USA 14.0m
2. Disneyland
Anaheim, California, USA 12.7m
3. Epcot
Orlando, Florida, USA 8.27m
4. Disney-MGM Studios
Orlando, Florida, USA 7.96m
5. Disney's Animal Kingdom
Orlando, Florida, USA 7.3m
6. Universal Studios Florida
Orlando, Florida, USA 6.8m
7. Islands of Adventure
Orlando, Florida, USA 6.0m
8. Disney's California Adventure
Anaheim, California, USA 4.69m
9. Sea World Orlando
Orlando, Florida, USA 5.0m
10. Universal Studios Hollywood 5.1m
Universal City, California, USA
Again I am constrained by copyright laws to provide full figures here
just like the principle in the first set of figures. I hope you
understand. In case you want to calculate the other figures, a simple
formula for percentages will do. I know you already know this but I
will just include it here to improve the clarity of my answer.
If a theme park has positive growth for example Epcot, here is the
calculation. Where X is the figure for last year (2002).
X + 0.04X = 8.6
1.04X = 8.6
X = 8.6 /1.04
X = 8.27
If a theme park has negative growth meanwhile like Disney-MGM Studios
then here is the calculation.
X - 0.02X = 7.8
0.98X = 7.8
X = 7.8/0.98
X = 7.96
Figures for the other theme parks like Six Flags are available from
