So if that's the way it's done; does that mean (including the water park attendance figures) that WDW received almost 50 million visitors in 2006? That's A LOT of people.

Some say that the first park a guest enters during a day is the only park that will receive another number added to its total. But if it's not done that way; it would explain why Animal Kingdom receives less than MGM due to its closing early.

I now find it funny when I or another person says that DCA is a "struggling park" and receives low attendance; when for the past 2 years, IoA has gone below DCA in terms of attendance and nobody really considers IoA as a "struggling" or "failure" park.

The new TEA & ERA end of year theme park attendance report was finally released today and shows the numbers for the year of 2006. 1.MAGIC KINGDOM at Walt Disney World 16,640,000 3.0% 2.DISNEYLAND, Anaheim, Calfornia 14,730,000 1.2% 3.EPCOT at Walt Disney World 10,460,000 5.5%...

The "5th demension" is what make ToT different than all the other "Freefall" type of attractions. I think DCA's ToT is just a basic "Freefall" you can find anywhere else with a Twilight Zone overlay; while MGM's is truly something unique and special. I would honestly like to know how you...

I'm not surprised that Universal's attendance continues to decline. Although they are remaining profitable by highering prices and giving away free park passes; those days can't last forever and they need to find a way to become profitable w/o offering special discounts or continuing to higher...

(Spoiler Alert) I agree. The one part of what makes MGM's ToT so great is clearly absent from the DCA version. (5th demension sequence) The "mirror" effect DCA's ToT is nothing special and I think it's actually corny.

I just looked at your post history and basically all of your posts have to deal with Universal or defending Universal. Talk about being biased.:dazzle: BTW: I'm almost positive that there are actually Universal fansites on the internet. Why not join them since you obviously have nothing...

That person who wrote that post is so biased it's not even funny. (I'm not one to talk, but still...) She put so many "positive spins" on the numbers when it came to DLR and so many "negative spins" on the numbers when it came to WDW. All I have to say is that everybody knows that Walt...

I think it's ridiculous to justify an entire new theme park in DLR just because of the slight attendance spike during the 50th celebration. I could understand if the attendance held steady afterwards; but as soon as the celebration ended the resort's attendance took a dive and is now in a...

"A $1 billion theme park that will open in Dubai come 2011." That statement right there says that the entire theme park will cost around 1 billion dollars. The entire setup of "DubaiLand" is somewhat confusing. What will be their main focus? A theme park or the entertainment surrounding...

In the article it states that they're only investing 1 billion dollars into the park. Isn't the place supposed to be twice the size of WDW? I'm too lazy to do the research, but I'm almost positive Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Islands of Adventure were all built for around 1 billion dollars...

Ok can you post a link or something. And I agree with you, Disney is all about making money. But that statement really contradicts that story and makes a perfect urban legend. Disney would actually be LOSING money going after a little girl and her family. Think about the "15000 dollars" that...

I like the wand too. I agree with your statement. Only a handful of people who go to Walt Disney World are actually die-hard fans that actually even pay attention to the wand. Most people are just happy to be in Walt Disney World on vacation and really couldn't care less.

Are you sure that that story isn't an urban legend? Disney would really have nothing to gain over suing a little girl and her family over a 99 cent pen. With all the bad press that would be generated about the company and costs for lawyers, I don't see Disney going through with it. A 99...

Nope not saying that. But the question of the OP is whether or not it will become popular enough to compete with WDW. I still don't think "DubailLand" will be all that successful; but the hype surrounding the city of Dubai will die down, and although it probably won't be a major player, it...

Those are all great but they're really nothing that other established tourist destinations don't offer.

And that tourist destination is...?

Ok, now I'm getting a better picture of the place. I personally still think the bubble will burst before it reaches 40 million people. Just because a place starts off successful does not mean it will remain that way. Universal Studios Japan was really successful the first year it came out...

I said in a earlier post that anyone could correct me if I was wrong or misinformed. But can you honestly say that any other tourist destination uses a bunch of theme parks as their main advertising hook? All the top theme parks are owned by Disney, and ALL except for Walt Disney World...
