I'm sure that most, if not all, of us here worship Disney, but...

...is anyone else getting sick and tired of seeing Universal dominate the Mouse when it comes to new "wow" attractions? I don't know, maybe it's just me but, even though I will always prefer Disney over Universal, it just seems like Universal keeps kicking Mouse when it comes to this topic.

Anyone here agree? Disagree?

Since you asked an honest question... no, the way I see it, if Uni continues to create outstanding attractions I have yet another place to visit and enjoy. What Disney does about that, is Disney's problem. If they can't keep up or don't even try too, for all I care they can drop out of sight. I'll have a new "god" to worship.

Worship is a bit ridiculous. I like Disney and all, but that's about as far as I go, definitely not worship. I like Universal too, and these forums. I also like the amusement park that's five minutes from my house, great coasters. I like amusement parks in general, but Uni and DW are probably the best I've been to so far.

Honestly?
No.
Because competition, real competition, is the only thing that's ever going to force The Walt Disney Company to create, build, and maintain at its full potential again.

I just love when people are put off by a thread asking an honest question, yet they simply cannot help themselves from making a reply. Hey, folks, here's a newsflash for you! How about if you don't like a particular topic, you simply move on?

You can't blame Universal for Disney dropping the ball.

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Doesn't bother me.

Alright, I'll give you my honest thoughts. In 2013 we did a combo trip - 2 days at Universal/IOA followed by the "real" vacation of Disney. It was our first time for Univ. I thought for sure I wouldn't like it much, but I will admit, it was pretty awesome. Harry Potter blew me a way! And unfortunately the new train wasn't there at that time. They do beat Disney on modern technology and seem to add new awesome things more quickly, but I wouldn't say Univ. dominates Disney though. I'm pretty sure Disney owns just about everything, so I think it's the other way around. My heart still belongs to Disney and I hope I can continue to go and even take my grandchildren one day. (I don't have any yet, just planning ahead.) I can see people who didn't grow up with Disney and younger people (like teens/20's) liking Universal more, although my son is almost 20 and he loves Disney. I even told him one day when he gets married maybe I'll spring for a Disney honeymoon.

If you could look only at attractions built in the past 5 years or so, then yes, Universal is probably smoking Disney. But if you look at the parks as a whole, it'll be a long time (if ever) before Universal catches up to Disney.

Just like everything else in life, it's a matter of perspective. Do you have a family? Are you single? What sort of stuff do you like? Are you laid back? Are you a thrill seeker? I'm happy for the competition and variety. Disney goes through an ebb and flow just like any other company - sometimes they take profits, sometimes they spend and expand. You can always choose one particular time period and nit-pick for whatever you want. But at the end of the day, if you look at the entire picture, you'll find that WDW and UNI offer products that cater to somewhat differing audiences (not the people, per se, but rather their expectations and personal agendas) and as much as people like to pit them against one another in direct comparison, I think they are more complimentary than ever right now.
