The top eight theme parks worldwide are owned by Disney, drawing in 100m punters between them. This is a serious business. In the last financial year Disney’s theme parks accounted for 30% of the company's $40 billion revenue. Like many markets the attraction industry is shifting to the East. Asia’s biggest 20 theme parks pulled in 105m visitors last year, 9% more than in 2010, quickly catching up with North America’s 127m. http://www.economist.com/node/21557273
