When it comes to attendance, there are many theme parks that have earned the honor of being at the top. Why do these theme parks get visited by millions of travelers every year? Is it because they have more area? Or is it because they have exciting attractions? It could even be a combination of both. In fact, many of the top theme parks have a higher occupancy level because of their overall size, which helps contribute to their being on the top.
Walt Disney World
WB Studio Showcase Now Open at Movie World! WB Studio Showcase is the largest Warner Bros. Exhibition of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere with over 30 authentic costumes, cars and props. The site now states: “Fit in more fun than ever on a January or February trip to the theme parks with the help of Disney FastPass+ Service.” FastPass+ has been temporarily taken away with the new protocols and park capacity limits. Theme Park World is more of a SimCity taken into Theme Park-scale instead of cities. A simulation game where we'll be the manager in charge of keeping the park running. We start the game with only the Lost World Prehistoric theme park, and as we progress we'll earn more points, money, and we'll be able to expand. Before you can make any FastPass selections for your trip, everyone in your party must have a theme park ticket linked to their Disney account on the My Disney Experience website or the My Disney Experience App (unless you have a child under three who doesn’t require a ticket. They are free and therefor don’t need to make any Fastpasses). Theme Park Insider Readers' Top 25 Theme Park Rides. Our Top 25 Roller Coasters. Top 25 Theme Park Shows. Top Attraction Discounts.

Disneyland Resorts
The original Disney vacation destination comes in second in annual attendance numbers. With close to 30 million visitors per year, the Disneyland Resorts offer guests everything from shopping to dining and theme parks to accommodations. Guests visiting will have access to both of the them, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure, while visiting. Guests visiting Disneyland will also be able to enjoy the Downtown Disney District where they can shop, dine and be entertained. Those wanting to stay close to all of the action will have three Disney Hotels/Resorts to choose from.
The best thing about Disneyland is that you can enjoy the theme parks no matter how long you have to spend there. If you only had a day or two, you can still enjoy the must-see attractions and get your top must-experience activities in. Or, if you have a week (or more) to spend at Disneyland, there is plenty of things for you to see and do; you are not likely to get bored.
Tokyo Disney Resort
Next in line is yet another Disney attraction. The Tokyo Disney Resort offers guests from around the world the chance to experience the hospitality of Disney in the heart of Tokyo. Visiting guests are sure to enjoy both theme parks — Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Both of these theme parks offer fun activities that are perfect for the entire family to enjoy. Just like Disneyland and Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland is divided up into different lands, each featuring themed rides, attractions, restaurants, shops and shows. Tokyo DisneySea is home to many favorite Disney attractions here in the U.S., plus many more, including plenty of water-themed attractions.
There are also four Disney Hotels/Resorts available for guests wanting to stay close to the action. All of these hotels offer what all travelers would expect from a Disney hotel, including service with a smile and fun, themed accommodations. There are also many Disney Good Neighbor Hotels near both theme parks.

Universal Studios Japan
Dive deep into the magic of the movies with a visit to Universal Studios Japan. This theme park is located in Osaka and has the fourth highest attendance numbers in the world. While there, you can enjoy everything from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Universal Wonderland and plenty of rides to a variety or even themed restaurants. Not to mention all of the street performances, stages shows and annual events planned at this theme park.
Those wanting to enjoy the full Universal experience and stay close to the theme park will have the opportunity to stay in one of 24 partner hotels located nearby. With so much to see and do at this theme park, you are going to want to make sure you allow a minimum of two days to enjoy it. Three or four would be better, but you can get most of it in during a shorter visit.

Universal Studios Orlando
Universal Studios Orlando offers vacationers a ton of activities and attractions located all within a central location. You will have access to two theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, that are both connected through The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Plus, CityWalk is one of the hottest places to be in the Central Florida area. There you can dine, play and be entertained.
There are five on-site hotels offering easy access and transportation to the theme parks and CityWalk. There are also many more neighboring hotels, many of which also offer transportation to and from the Universal theme parks. The best part about Universal Studios Orlando is that CityWalk stays open late at night, offering you the opportunity have fun even after the parks have closed.

This may sound crazy, but Theme Park World at the time it was released was one of my most wanted games of the day! I am a massive fan of the original Theme Park; it is probably my favorite sim building game of all time and this was the sequel to that game. They tried to “modernize” the game, but truth be told apart from the visuals and presentation, not a great deal had been changed in all honesty.
They Call Me Walt
The goal of the game is what you would expect and that is to build the most awesome theme park in the world. Actually, there is more to it than that, building your park is a huge aspect of Theme Park World as it was in the original game. However, you also have to maintain your park, keep it up to date, keep the customers happy, ensure your staff are cool and always be looking for the next big thing. Not a great deal has changed in the aim of the game and I am fine with that. I do feel that they could have put a bit more “story” here as that is something I do feel was missing.
Theme Park In 3D
I know that some people will look at what this game claims is 3D graphics and laugh, but at the time I was blown away by the visuals of this game. they let you get in and see the action super close and you can also go on the rides as well. This was something I thought was freaking awesome at the time… even though if the character models do look like cardboard cutouts! I know that Theme Park World has not aged gracefully, actually, I feel that the original holds up better than this one does.
Drink A 12 Dollar Soda!
The core gameplay that is on offer here is pretty much the same as what we had with the original game and that is fine by me. You have to hire people to work in your park and you also have to keep them happy. You do this by making sure you have bathrooms and that they are treated well and paid right. You also need to keep on top of the latest rides and make sure that new stuff is getting added to your park all the time.
For me, when I play this game it is all about the mark up on stuff like merchandise and food and drinks! You can make huge leaps in your park’s future by ensuring you have plenty of funds. You can do all kinds of research as well (including a new scientist) that help you progress in the game. The PlayStation version of the game actually has cool mini-games, but these were not on the PC.
Theme Park World may not have been a game-changer in comparison to what the original game offered. However, I still think that this is a fun time, I do prefer the original, but at the time I thought this game was the greatest thing ever! I do feel that the visuals have aged a bit poorly, but the rest of the game is still a lot of fun to play. Newer games may offer more in terms of the “sim” approach, but I think this one here is more about having fun.
