I think a slightly important note is to remember that Universal Studios Orlando saw a 10% decrease and IOA saw at least a 11.5% decrease in attendance when comparing 2009 to 2008 season. This came after a 2.5% decrease when comparing 2008 attendance to 2007 at the same parks.
This basically concurs with your statement that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter rendered Universal Orlando recession proof. 2010 when they opened WWHP, IOA saw a 30% increase when comparing 2010 to 2009 while SWO saw a 12% decline.
