The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and AECOM published the TEA/AECOM 2022 Theme Index and Museum Index: The Global Attractions Attendance Report that included a study of attendance at major water parks. The 2023 study will be released in the summer of 2024. Due to COVID restrictions limiting travel, operating days and capacities, they kept the 2019 rankings.
