The annual TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index, the definitive annual attendance study for the themed entertainment and museum industries, was published today. Published by the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and the Economics practice at AECOM, this report is available free on the AECOM website athttp://www.aecom.com/themeindex and on the TEA website athttp://www.teaconnect.org/pdf/TEAAECOM2013.pdf. It is important to note that Disney does not release official attendance figures, so these rankings are estimated. Disney holds the top eight spots on the list with the Magic Kingdom remaining the most visited theme park in the world. Among water parks, Disney holds 2 out of the top 3 spots. The only non-Disney theme park to break the top 10 was Universal Studios Japan
