The real order is…
    Texas wins — and Florida, home of the giants, is only #3! This counts places, not size: every park location counts once, with no extra points for being huge.
    📚 Background Everyone shouts Florida — but Texas has the most amusement-park businesses, and Florida is only #3. The lesson: this counts places, not size. Florida's parks are giants — but every business location counts once, with no extra points for size or visitors — while Texas has lots of separate parks. How you count changes who wins!
