Magic Kingdom Tops Universal’s Islands of Adventure as Best Amusement Park in the World in Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards 2020

Move over, Harry Potter, because the oldest theme park in Walt Disney World has topped this year’s Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards for Best Amusement Park in the World.

This marks the first time in five years that Disney lands the number-one spot, after Island’s of Adventure dominated for half a decade. Universal’s Islands of Adventure is now in third place, with Disney’s Animal Kingdom in fourth place, and Universal Studios Florida in fifth.

Later down the line-up we have Universal Studios Hollywood in sixth place, with Disneyland Park in 11th place, Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 12th, Disney California Adventure in 15th place, followed by Universal Studios Singapore in at number 17, Hong Kong Disneyland at 20, and finally Disneyland Paris and Universal Studios Japan in at numbers 21 and 22, respectively.

Unfortunately for EPCOT fans, the theme park is nowhere on the top-25 list, although we expect to see it climb the rankings once the park’s historic reimagining is completed.

  1. Ouch …. Fun Spot ranked higher than EPCOT!
     
    But there is great news for EPCOT fans … they did rank as 5th best construction site in the world.

  2. Personally, I feel Epcot in its current state should be on the top 25 list. It is so nostalgic and world showcase really is something special. Not to mention, Epcot also has some of my favorite Disney rides. To be honest, I feel Island of Adventure and Universal Studios are very mediocre. I would take a day at any Disney park over a Universal park. However, this is just my opinion. It depends on what you like. If you like Hollywood IPs, you will probably prefer Universal. While, Disney fans, like myself, and people who like Disney IPs will prefer Disney parks. But I must ask, why is Disneyland Park so low? Disneyland Park is Walt’s park, and it has stood the test of time till this day. Not to mention, Disneyland has some of the coolest and most charming rides and experiences on Earth. However, I agree that Magic Kingdom is number 1. Magic Kingdom is home and it will always be my favorite place on Earth.
