Check out the 2001 attendance numbers at the following link on CNN:

EPCOT is down 15%, which is about twice the rest (well, besides Universal Studios which is down 10%). I would gather that this is not good for EPCOT but with the JIYI and SPACE coming soon, things may get better for EPCOT. Also, seems Universal and AK are battling it out for fifth place with only about 500K separating the two.

Interesting to look at these and too bad we couldn't see maybe a five year spread or so to look at a historical view (short history) of the numbers to see the way things are going.

Thanks for the heads up!

Interesting that there are a few parks further down the list who actually saw their attendance increase. I suppose that they depend more on local visitors but of course so does Disneyland and DL's attendance decreased. Just something to wonder about...

Since Disney historically does not release any official numbers, you have to wonder about the accuracy of these estimates. Although there is no doubt that Florida tourism has taken a hard blow after 9-11. And the Circus Circus thing in Vegas up 7%??? Vegas looked like a ghost town when I was there in November.
