Where are the attendance figures from?

• Attendance figures derive from publicly available sources, such as trade publications and news articles. While it is rare for individual parks to report annual attendance, some owners report company-wide attendance within an annual report. Refer to the sources section for detailed citation information.

Why are certain parks missing years of data from the attendance section?

• Trade publications only publish attendance figures for the most visited parks. As a result, there is limited attendance data for smaller, regional parks.

Are international parks included in attendance figures?

• This website currently includes park attendance information for North America only.

Where are the industry performance data points from?

• The data points typically derive from the annual 10-K reports of the respective theme park operators. Refer to the sources section for detailed citation information.

Why is there limited information for Disney and Universal (the two largest theme park operators)?

• Both Walt Disney Parks, Experiences, & Products and Universal Parks & Resorts operate as subsidiaries of their respective parent companies. Since both parent companies operate other subsidiaries, 10-K annual report information related to the theme parks is typically less detailed than other publicly traded themed entertainment companies.

Why is there no information for Hersheypark, Legoland, Dollywood, etc?

• Information is only available for publicly traded companies. The attractions listed above are privately owned and do not publish detailed financial/operations information.
