Disney extends its lead in global theme park attendance

- Magic Kingdom is still the king, with it's older brother Disneyland nipping at it's heels. I suspect that both will be virtually tied when GE opens in DL, and by 2020 DL potentially ahead with GE being in full effect for more than a year.

- Animal Kingdom is still getting big increases in attendance due to Pandora.

- HS got a minor boost from TS land, but won't see anything substantial until GE opens up.

- Epcot saw a minor boost, but also won't see anything substantial until it's new additions open up.

- USF is still ahead of IOA in attendance, despite pretty much everyone I know considering IOA the superior park. This is likely due to attendance gimmicks like Mardi Gras and Halloween Horror nights being at USF that IOA doesn't have.

- Both Seaworlds apparently got a nice attendance boost as well.
