They've had Trowbridge for nearly a decade lol... In addition WDI has always had the talent to compete just lacked the funding. Universal however going from 1999 to 2017 is total ride tech dominance. I'm personally very excited for Avatar and think the boat ride will be a sleeper. As for Soarin...

Until we see what Shanghai actually has to offer Universal surpassed Disney in the Summer of 1999 with Spiderman and never looked back...
