Animal Kingdom Sets Attendance Record in 2008

4/16/09 According to the 2008 TEA/ERA Theme Park Attendance Report, published jointly by the Themed Entertainment Association and Economic Resources Associates, Disney's Animal Kingdom® set an attendance record for 2008, attracting 9,540,000 visitors last year, up 0.5% from 2007.
The Animal Kingdom still came in behind Disney's Hollywood Studios, and in fact the gap widened, due no doubt to the opening of Toy Story Midway Mania. This will keep the folks over at Studios Central happy. The gap between the two parks, which admittedly is based on multiple data sources and not direct from Disney, is 68,000 visitors per year. That's only 200 per day, so tell all your friends to go to the Animal Kingdom just one additional time during their next stay!
