Harry Potter transformed Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure into the fastest-growing big theme park in the world in 2010 and peeled visitors away from Central Florida's other theme parks, according to an industry report released Thursday. Estimated attendance at Islands of Adventure ballooned 30.2 percent for the year as huge crowds descended on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the $265 million themed area that opened in Islands exactly one year ago.
