Universal Crowd Calendar Report – July 24 to 30, 2016
Last week, Islands of Adventure continued to lag behind its sister park which pulled down the resort wide crowd level a few points lower than history would suggest for the last week of July. The Universal Crowd Calendar did a great job predicting the crowd level at Universal Studios missing by more than one level only once.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the Touringplans.com Universal Crowd Calendar Report:
