The new Global Attractions and Attendance Report is the twelfth annual collaboration between the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and AECOM.
It identifies the most visited theme parks and water parks around the world, including Europe's Top 20.
Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris both had a great year, with increases of 15% and 4.6% respectively, holding on to first and third place. Also in France, Puy du Fou saw a 1.8% increase and finished on 2.2 million, Futuroscope and Parc Asterix both hit 2 million visitors, with increases of 5.3% and 8.1%.
Europa-Park in Germany saw an increase of 1.8% so remains the second most visited theme park in Europe with 5.7 million, but Phantasialand in Cologne was flat and stayed just under 2 million.
There was great success for Efteling in the Netherlands which saw a 8.7% boost and achieved their 2020 target of 5 million visits 3 years early, hitting 5.1 million.
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, remained static on 4.6 million.
PortAventura Park near Barcelona in Spain was 1.4% up with 3.6 million visitors, but as Ferrari Land isn't in the Top 20 the impact of the €100 million addition isn't clear. Parque Warner Madrid received 1.8 million visitors, a 2.2% increase.
Liseberg in Gothenburg, Sweden, lost only 0.3% so remained on 3 million.
Due to some extreme weather and natural disasters in Italy, Gardaland fell 9.7% to 2.6 million.
In the UK, LEGOLAND Windsor remains the nation's most visited theme park with 2.2 million visitors, a 0.8% increase, while Alton Towers rebounded by 1% to get back to 2 million for second place. There was no change for Thorpe Park (1.8 million) but Chessington World of Adventures saw the biggest growth with 1.5m visitors (up 1.3%).
LEGOLAND Billund in Denmark saw a 1.4% increase to reach 2.1 million.
One of the biggest increases came from Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden, soaring 11.9% to 1.6 million visitors.
Heide Park in Germany rounds off the chart at 20, with 1.4 million visitors, a drop of 3.9%.
