Disney
-Notably the Orlando parks (as is common) are absent from the top 10 along with all Disney parks besides Tokyo Disneysea tied for ninth.
-Blizzard beach was the number 4 water park.
-Splash Mountain was in a tie for 4th best water ride.
-Epcot was 3rd in best food.
-Space mountain was the number 4 indoor coaster.
-Tower of Terror finally beat out everyone for number 1 dark ride, possibly as a sign that people really want to keep the current theme.
-Epcot was 5th in landscaping
-Magic kingdom had the 4th best Christmas event

Universal
-Islands of adventure up to number 5 among parks. It will be interesting to see how Volcano bay does in the first year in the water park rankings.
-Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls was rated number 2 water ride and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-rat Barges in a tie for 4th.
-Revenge of the Mummy was the number 1 indoor coaster.
-Forbidden Journey was the number 2 dark ride with Gringotts at number 3. Notably absent is Spider Man compared to years past.
-Universal Orlando HHN was voted number 1 Halloween event as it has been for a long time.

Seaworld
Voted best marine park like usual, with discovery cove also in a tie for 5th place.
Mako was the number 3 best new ride..

Some things that stand out is the resilience of Kenoebels as a top 5 park in the face of so many new developments in the industry as well as the complete dominance by Dollywood for best Chistmas event along with their increasingly high ratings in multiple categories.
