The launch on Dr. Doom! The launch on the Hulk! The launch at Mythos! Oh, I mean lunch.

I can agree with the Hulk's launch. My favorite things about Universal are the entrances of Islands and the Studios, and just looking out the window of a car and seeing Universal in the distance! I got goosebumps when I went last June, and it was amazing!

Me too! I love seeing Dr. Doom's FearFall and Hollywood Rip, Ride, RockIt in the distance. That's when I get really excited.

All of these things mentioned are great and valid but something that often goes unoticed that I feel Universal is actaully outdoing Disney as with the attention to Detail Differences...

The Custodial Costumes. In each land at Islands of Adventure Custodial has appropriately themed attire. In Marvel they have Action comic book explosion like artwork all over button downed shirts. In Lost Continent they are Greek and Mediterranean(depending on the area) like villagers. In Seuss Landing they have awesome colors and stripes. In Hogsmeade they look like Hogsmeade residents. Jurassic Park they have the tropical wear.

Side note while not elaborately changing the Studios Custodial gets to get into the detailed spirit too during Halloween Horror Nights. During operation of Halloween Horror Nights they have torn, ripped and shredded outfit versions of custodial wear with no too alike all splattered in random amounts of blood.

I'm pretty sure that Universal is my favorite park right now; typing this I realize that my list is super long. It's so hard to choose favorites, but I especially love:

~Watching the Horror Make-Up Show; doubly so when there is a fantastic "volunteer" or when the actors have great chemistry
~Seeing T2:3D and doing a terrible Kimberly Duncan impersonation for the rest of the day
~Walking through Sting Alley in the dark during the Cinematic Spectacular
~Not getting run over by the Bluesmobile
~Jamming to the Muppets on Rip Ride Rockit
~Getting discounts on everything, even Starbucks!
~Running into the tacky tourists in the area formerly known as Amity
~Beating everybody at MIB
~Free admission to HHN
~The superior dinosaur themed ride that is Jurassic Park
~Super villain streetmo
~Mounties at Dudley Do Right
~Catching the Rocky Horror shadow cast at the AMC
~Running into new construction every time I visit.
