2006 Theme Park Attendance

Thanks to DisneyYorkian74 at WDWMagic for bringing this to my attention. The Disney theme parks in the US did very well in 2006, according to the attendance figures. Here are the top 10, which includes the attendance number, and the percentage increase compared to the previous year:

1.The Magic Kingdom 16,640,000 3.0%

2.Disneyland 14,730,000 1.2%

3.EPCOT 10,460,000 5.5%

4.Disney-MGM Studioes 9,100,000 5.0%

5.Disney's Animal Kingdom 8,910,000 8.6%

6.Universal Studios Orlando 6,000,000 1.2%

7.Disney's California Adventure 5,950,000 2.1%

8.Seaworld Orlando 5,740,000 2.5%

9.Islands of Adventure, Orlando 5,300,000 -4.8%

10.Universal Studios Hollywood 4,700,000 0.0%

It is highly impressive that Disney's theme park, even the much-maligned California Adventure, occupies 6 of the Top 7 positions. More impressively, all of them showed an increase in attendance, the largest being Animal Kingdom, thanks to Expedition Everest.

The whole report can be obtained here.
