Top 25 Amusement Parks - World

I don't know if this has been posted anywhere but I came across this Poll from Trip Advisor through the Orlando Sentinel.

It would be nice to see Disney move at least one Park to position #1!

Thanks for the post! I wouldn't think to much of it because it's just by reviews done on their site, not by real attendance numbers and such. More people are going to write reviews that dislike something than like it, so although I like TripAdvisor and use it myself regularly (mostly for restaurant and hotel reviews not for attraction reviews), I don't think this says much overall. Restaurant reviews I take with a grain of salt as well on there unless it's all bad reviews for a particular place. Lol

Any idea what methodology they are using to determine this? I don't see anything on the site about that.

honestly, comparing the major parks just seems arbitrary. there's no empirical way to say who is silver and gold with these things; all that matters is the consumers get their money's worth

It's done by average reviews people put on their site for all those attractions in each city they reside.

I agree with you 100%. It's much like how surveys are often worded to generate the answer desired versus how one really feels or thinks. Just thought it might be of some interest to people.

Yep always love to see any new news or info about Disney parks! Thanks again for that because I had not seen it yet.

By what possible measure is DHS a better park then Disneyland!

I like lists like this, not because of the ranking order, but to see what people like that maybe I haven't done yet. The actual order is normally arbitrary.

 

[Flippin'Flounder]

When DHS is 5 and neither Tokyo parks are on the list

 

[RandomPrincess]

These are based on reviews made by people in the US for the most part. It's an English speaking site.

 

[danlb_2000]

I'm surprised Knoebels isn't on the list, it usually makes these sorts of lists.

That moment after I scratched my head about USH at four, finished chuckling about DHS at 5, got irritated that Universal Studios had a picture of Popeye's and then I saw Europa-Park at 7... realizing that it was the best amusement park in the world and not North America.

I think Trip Advisor is trolling...

Edit: Yup, Walt Disney studios made spot 25 without a Tokyo park in sight... serve me right for finishing.

This is completely in the wrong forum.

Done by average reviews on Trip Advisor so if not many reviewed it (as much as the other larger parks) on their site it's not going to make the Top 25. So that's probably why. It's not your regular list of top places it's purely on feedback they got only on their website.

Best lists.

Lame......all of them.

Looking at pictures of Tokyo DisneySea is more fun than actually going to Sea World

Disney gets slapped down by Universal in a highly influential pole! They is definitely big news that could spell the beginning of the end for our beloved Disney parks.

How the heck is Epcot ranked #16 and DHS #5?

 

[invader]

I'm most surprised by Magic Mountain even being on the list
