Leading the global top 10 list for a second year running is Universal Studios Orlando, which ranked first in the global top attractions of 2014, owing to the success of Diagon Alley which opened earlier last year.
Disneyland Paris has jumped to the second most popular attraction in the world and Siam Park moved up 3 positions after a surge in sales due to opening of a new water coaster Singha.
Two UK attractions, the Tower of London and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! London made the global top 10, ranking seventh and ninth in the world, with the latter making a first appearance in the list.
The Kennedy Space Centre and Discovery Cove sales were strong and both maintain the same positions as last year whilst European attraction in PortAventura jumped 3 positions to sixth place.
Simon Applebaum, Consumer Marketing Director at AttractionTix.co.uk commented: “It’s not surprising to see that Universal Studios is the most popular attraction in the world for the last two years running. Recognising the desire for immersive experiences and the enduring love the world has for Harry Potter, Universal Studios’ have created the ultimate theme park to draw Potter fans to their parks. Though 50% of the list remains Florida attraction focused, a destination synonymous for theme parks and attractions, it’s great to see attractions on the list from around the world including France, Spain and the UK.”
