It is that time of the year when theme Park fans from all over the world gather to see how their favorite and least-favorite theme parks performed in the following year. Themed Entertainment Association/AECOM has become the trusted source for theme Park data, and this year’s data says a lot about how the theme Parks are performing. There is no time to waste, let’s jump right into the top 5 amusement/theme Parks worldwide.
#1: Magic Kingdom Theme Park: Walt Disney World
To no one’s surprise, Walt Disney World Resort took home the title of the most visited theme Park of 2022. The Park is undoubtedly the most popular in the world, with $17.12 million visitors this past year. These numbers show that people are finally revisiting the Parks after the covid-19 pandemic. While 2022 cannot compare to 2019, when the Park hosted 21 million Guests, it is 35% better than last year’s attendance numbers.
