Lately Universal Orlando has been putting up signs in the back of the resort Stating "We Will Win". I asked my cousin who works there what they meant and she told me that's there slogan for success since they want to beat Disney. I find that funny cause they never will! :hammer:

Don't be so sure of yourself.
This was way before Spider-man. Do you actually think Universal Studios will beat Disney. To begin with Universal Orlando doesn't generate the great revenue Disney does. To try and make more money Universal needs to expand. They don't have enough space too...unless it's another close by location than it wouldn't be a resort. Anyway, Disney has the land to build three more parks and concieve a lot more money. Disney is the #1 tourist attraction in the world for some reason!:hammer:

It depends on your idea of winning.
Is winning having more guests in the park?
Is winning making more money?
Is winning having fewer complaints or more compliments?
If "beating" Disney is a goal, then they have alot of work to do, just to hit Disney's lowest standard.

i know this doesn't apply for ne of us here (hehe) but some people do grow out of WDW......as they get older they go for the trill rides
Disney is deffinaty the cleanest and nicest park.......and it can't compare to universal.........but most of us can admit it.......i kno I can.....If you want BIG BIG thrills......u go to IoA.....
And with WDW resort prices.......many stay off site...which opens them to SW and US and IoA.......

Here is the latest update on that sign situation.
Seems they were all spelled wrong.
It should read "WE WILL WHINE"
Sorry for any misunderstanding.:lol:
From speaking to Bob Gault personally, I can tell you what "We Will Win" is about. It is a campaign aimed at improving guest service at Universal, and adding more entertainment for guests to see.
I go to both parks on a semi daily basis, and I can tell you that Disney's standards are definitely lowering, while Universals are going up. Yesterday alone I had CM's yelling (that's right.. YELLING) at me for putting my CM ID into the fastpass machine the wrong way, and parking lot CM's telling me I couldn't go to drop off at MGM to drop off my nephew. And when I told management about this, I got laughed at in one case (fastpass) and told there was nothing they could do about it in the other one (parking lot).
Yet on the other side of Orlando theme parks, at Universal, employees can now be terminated for not smiling in guest areas.
hmm... those of you who are bashing Universal may soon be proven wrong (not to mention that WDW only has 2 confirmed new attractions in 4 parks, while UO has 3 in 2 parks, as well as a new show... hmm)
I think WDW may want to be rethinking its strategy soon

Hate to upset some people But... I find much of what Universal does to be intersesting and entertaining. I found the parks as clean as WDW, They seem to have fewer closed atractions, and when something is closed a replacement seems to go in ASAP.
As for CMs yes theres a big difference at US they were so disinterested I thought I was back in the UK or Paris. The problem seems to be younger staff, bigger chips! A problem that Disney now seems to be encountering.
I still find it strange thatso many people find the concepts of thrill rides as dirty words. If its well presented what does it matter. And IMHO Islands of Adventure is certainly that.
Disney has got where it is buy imagineering and the graft of CMs, if the standard of either drop then it is highly conceivable that Universal may be the best one day.
Certainly if the bean counters continue to rule the roost.

and universal is definitely trying to get people to stay at their parks for extended amounts of time by building new hotels and theyre all very nice and affordable including Portofino Bay, Hard Rock and the brand new Loews property. Theyre really making strides and i'm sure we'll see expansion again in the near future.

Conversely too much emphasis is put on the bottom line and eventually the Magic fades, as the things that made the diffrence are sacraficed at the alter of profit margins.
