Google has recently launched their new "Trends" service and with it brings a whole new world of statistical data. People from all over the world have learned some new and exciting things - Google is bigger than God, dogs are more popular than both cats and fish, and TV is more exciting than the movies. I spent some time finding out as much as I could about the theme park industry, here's a summary:

• Movie World, Sea World and Dreamworld are very closely tied.
• Movie World wasn't the only park that benefited from Superman Escape - all three parks peaked in December 2005 (Dreamworld was actually top!).
• Disneyland still remains ahead of Walt Disney World.
• Carnivals are more popular than theme parks.

Has anyone else found anything of interest?

I've only found the obvious, coasters are more popular than other amusement rides. The problem is, it only shows statistics from google searches, so if more people search for Dreamworld's website but Movie World actually had higher attendance, people would get the wrong idea. Still a cool little piece of work!
