Best Ride- Spiderman on IOA side, MiB or Mummy or Studios side.
Worst Ride- I would say Triceretops Encounter on IOA side, but it's closed... so I have to go with Ptyredon Flyers (too low a rider capacity). On Studio side, Shrek 4-D.
What could Universal do better?- That's a tough one. I think that a more family-friendly atmosphere would be better financially, but the dark edge they have is what I like so much about them. I think some more "family" and cutting edge attractions would add a lot. I love the theming, and I think the employees are great. So more attractions is my answer.

Best: IOA = Hulk!!!!!!!!!!! Best coaster out of 536. USF = Mummy!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8th best out of 536!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worst: IOA = Dueling Dragons. Ends way too quickly. I didn't get the dueling effect. Besides roller coasters...Spidey. USF = Jimmy Neutron
What could improve: They need a water park, and maybe a new hotel to go with it. Combine Blizzard Beach and Schlitterbahn (according to Travel Channel, the 2 best water parks in the country). Theming and innovation. That would be da bomb.

best: UF:Mummy IOA:Hulk
worst: UF:Earthquake IOA: Just disaapointed w/ the Jurrasic Park area
Improve: I would agree with Legacy, it needs more family rides and it will be closer to perfect, and maybe a new hotel

Best: Revenge of the Mummy, Jaws, and E.T. I believe these three really make you feel into the movie or adventure, which I believe Universal tries to do.
Worst: Back to the Future, Spiderman (I didn't see what was so great about it), JP River Adventure (again same thing), Dueling Dragons, and Hulk. I guess why I didn't like them that much is because I went it with expectations too high, and didn't get the experience I had heard of, and left IoA unimpressed. And sadly, I have no desire to return there
But it's ok, because I feel the Studios is much better anyways.
Improvement: - Make new and better storylines!! Some of the things in their attractions just don't make sense to me.
- Expand!! It's okay right now, but a state of the art waterpark to give BB and TL some competition would be nice.
- Do SOMETHING with IoA. There is almost no reason to return to this park when there has been almost NOTHING added to the park since it opened. I think it's rather pathetic, actually
- Oh! Also, a nice and permanent fireworks/laser show would be nice.
Overall, Universal Orlando is a nice addition to a Florida vacation, but I'll always be happier with and love the "Magic" even more.

Best - Spidey. ( I haven't been on Mummy yet)
Worst - Earthquake. I know it's a classic, but I just don't bother with it anymore.
Improve - Add something to Jurassic Park and Lost Continent.

Best: Back to the Future: The Ride (Too Cool to be Abbreviated)
Worst: Everything in the entire complex has potential, just not used yet.
Improve: See above, bring all attractions to their full potential.
YES, THIS INCLUDES EARTHQUAKE!!!! (It still conveys to the original theme of the park, remind me to rant about this at a later date.)

Best IOA= Spiderman!!!
USF= MIB
Worst IOA= Flying Unicorn
USF= The Woody the Woodpecker Coaster
I think that to improve they need to-
1) Add a new hotel
2) Add a waterpark
3) Add more family rides to IOA.

Who's heard of spell check before?
I count plenty of rides at IOA for the family. Dudley Do Right and Popeye are two great examples. Maybe Jurassic Park, depending on the kid. Pteryadon (sp?) Flyers seems to be adult-hating. Storm Force isn't too bad. Spidey is good for families, not scary at all. Really, all the stuff in Seuss Landing is good for the family. Cat in the Hat is awesome! Kids at the Lost Continent have FU, I mean, Flying Unicorn...some kids might like Posideon's Fury. There's plenty of family stuff at IOA.
