Parks are ranked by estimated 2024 attendance for individual parks (not resort totals), from the 2024 TEA Global Experience Index (formerly the TEA/AECOM Theme Index), published by the Themed Entertainment Association in 2025 and the most recent edition available as of October 2026. Figures are taken from the 2024 column of Wikipedia's List of amusement park rankings (permanent revision 1377863670), which cites that report. Only the 2024 edition is used; no figures from other years are mixed in. TEA's attendance figures are estimates for parks whose operators do not publish gate counts. Rank 1 is the highest attendance.
