My opinion is that I don't think Universal Orlando is trying to overtake Walt Disney World as a international destination. I don't think it's possible, as WDW just offers so much more and it has been around longer. There are four parks and so many more hotels, there is no way that Universal...

You didn't answer my question.

Jimmy, I think everyone is referring to how you completely disregard good opinions from others on Universal, including myself. You only look at it negatively perhaps, and don't even try to look towards the other side. It's all just "WDW is king, UNI is an amusement park". What is your opinion...

I can't do both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in 6 hours... Dang. That's way too short. I'd probably have to skip things such as Poseidon's Fury, exploring Camp Jurassic, Universal's Horror Make-Up Show, T2:3D, E.T. Adventure (no single rider, usually a long process to queue)...

IOA was designed by many former Disney Imagineers. The Dueling Dragons concept and the Merlinwood section of the park was carried over from the dropped plans of Beastly Kingdom. It's a shame that Merlinwood is no longer there, as well as what the Dueling Dragons used to be.

Excuse me sir, but have you stepped foot in a Universal park?

Still will never understand the Six Flags comparison, but whatever. The only things in IOA that resemble Six Flags is the area between Marvel and Toon (so tacky and a waste of space) and the on-ride portion of Dragon Challenge. Even the Hulk's ride experience is above any Six Flags coaster, due...

It was sarcasm.

Cathy.

I really enjoy World Showcase. I'm particularity fond of France, Norway, and Japan.

I find Islands of Adventure's Port of Entry to be one of the best themed lands around. I know not everyone feels the same as I do, which is fine, but I just feel a very special tingle inside of me as I cross the bridge from CityWalk and into the Port of Entry. The music changes drastically to...

Wow, looks actually good for a Six Flags park. Better than 90% of the theming and atmosphere the other parks possess.

That seems a bit excessive.

Yes, but you act like the Disney theme parks are absolutely perfect when it comes to theming. How does the giant Swan & Dolphin hotels looming over World Showcase look to you? The backstage parking lot views you get while on Test Track? The Tangled Tower sticking above the ominous gardens of The...

Included Express Pass when staying at Universal's Portofino Bay also sounds pretty darn sexy. Makes vacationing a breeze. Wake up when you want, walk to the parks, and do what you want on a whim. No dashing around frantically to Fast Pass this and that. Granted, I do like both Disney's system...

I recently rode FJ and noticed the new brighter screens. Was more a fan of the darker screen quality, but I still enjoyed the ride a ton. FJ is still one of my favorite all time attractions.

Then there's the fact that HPatFJ is 100,000,000 times better than MS.

I ALSO like walking and taking a boat to both Universal parks.

Probably the usual complaints about the jumbled story, intense motions, and screen quality, all of which are valid complaints.

Many attractions at Uni have the presence and eye for detail than many of those at Disney. Both have their high and low points when it comes to details and "presence".
