With interest increasing by 65% in the past three months*, we’re excited for a day out like going to a theme park whenever restrictions ease.

Theme parks must prepare for their reopening, but they also have to ensure they are cleaned top to bottom, which is no small feat.

So just how big of a feat is this, and how much will it cost? OnBuy.com crunched the numbers to find the costs of cleaning ten of the biggest theme parks in the world!

The results

Dear cod! In first place is Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, estimated to cost €14.9 million to clean. The huge 20.72km² resort in Zhuhai, China, hosts a range of rides and shows and is the world’s largest oceanarium. Not only that, OnBuy calculated it would take around 20.7 million antibacterial wipes to disinfect – surely that’s another addition to the resort’s 5 Guinness World Record standing.

In second place is Disney World in Florida, costing an estimated €5.2 million and 7.2 million antibacterial wipes to make covid-friendly. According to research by ClearItWaste, that’s almost 30x pricier than cleaning rapper Drake’s apartment for a whole year!

The Disney resorts in Shanghai, Paris and California clinch third, fourth and fifth place respectively. Shanghai’s costs around €2.8 million (3.8 million wipes), Paris’s Magic Kingdom would set owners back €1.4 million and 2 million wipes, and California’s Disneyland Resort would be charged at €1.3 million and 1.8 million wipes to clean.

Finally with over 11 million annual visitors, last but not least is Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan. The park’s 130-acre area would still cost a whopping €450,275.52 and 622,494 wipes to clean.
