* Wet 'N' Wild Gold Coast is the only Australian park to get a mention - ranking at #19 in the "Top 20 Water Parks Worldwide" - The attendance for 2017 was 1.18million a 5% drop from 2016 which saw 1.24million visitors through the gates.

* Australia's only other mention was The National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, which was equal #12 in the Top 20 Museums in the Asia-Pacific region with 2.87million visitors.

 

The top 10 Theme Parks Worldwide saw a few changes this year:

* Disney's Animal Kingdom, with a 15% increase on 2016, has overtaken EPCOT to be #6 on the list

* The opening of Disneyland Shanghai in 2016 sees it come in at #8

This was definitely contributed to by the opening of Pandora which I have to say was the most amazing place I have ever been to.
