Merlin’s Shrek’s Adventure, is a new attraction for 2015
main reasons underpinning attendance increases. An impressive 13.7 per cent increase in attendance at Futuroscope in France has been attributed to an award- winning new ride, Raving Rabbids: The Time Machine, which is a testament to the importance of renewed investment. With governmental backing and private sector support highly visible in the Middle East, and a young, increasingly affl uent local population supplemented with an increasing tourist base, we anticipate this region to feature more heavily in the Index over the next few years as hotly anticipated mega-projects enter the market. While fi ve years ago European operators claimed four of the top 10 operators spots, as of 2014 only Merlin Entertainments and Parques Reunidos remain. Europe represents a mature and relatively stable marketplace; therefore, growth prospects are likely to be stronger in Asia and the Middle East than in Europe, with both upcoming regions benefi tting from booming populations and rising disposable incomes. When we compare the aggregate attendance at EMEA’s 10 most visited theme parks in 2009 to the recent fi gures released for EMEA in 2014, we see overall attendance has increased by just 2.5 per cent from 41.2 million to 42.2 million. This is a clear illustration of the impact of the fi nancial downturn in Europe. The majority of the top 10 EMEA theme
parks in 2014 remain the same as fi ve years ago, with only one new entry to the chart: Legoland Windsor, the winning concept that’s rolling out worldwide.
