I never seem to get that wet on JP for whatever reason...Dudley and Popeye are another story!
By the way, did anyone read the reports on the food being served? It sounds delicious. I can't wait to try butterbeer.

They're identical tracks.

Ditto. Apparently this is the first recipe for Butterbeer that JKR has approved (there have been unofficial recipes floating around for years now). If it turns out to just be cream soda, there's gonna be hell to pay.

During JP don't you get squirted by a dino and go under a waterfall? I always got soaked on it! ):
Space Mountain being 2 different coasters makes up for it. :animwink:

On the Jungle Cruise you get squirted by elephants and you go under a waterfall. :lol:
I've never been soaked on JP, though. You must be very unlucky.
Oh yes. Those nine feet make all the difference in the world. :animwink:

If you wait in a single line for the loadings of two coasters. It should be counted as ONE coaster. It is ONE attraction. Sorry. :wave:

I don't know that they've released any... they've just said that there will be butterbeer available.

While I agree that Dueling Dragons is indeed TWO different coasters (different attractions altogether is debatable), your argument does not work - you DO wait in a single queue for Space Mountain until you reach the boarding station, where the line splits and you wait to board at one of the stations. The same goes for Dueling Dragons, as well as Primeval Whirl.
Why are we arguing over this again? The bottom line is Universal has 3 serious looping coasters (Hulk and both Dragons); Disney has one serious looping coaster, Rock'n'Roller Coaster. What's the big deal again? We've already established they have a similar amount of height-requirement, moderately intense coasters.

Fine. Let's count it as one. Now, if we put up the numbers:
Taking out DD (Should we start calling it DC now?) that leaves us with USO at 7 coasters and WDW with 6.
However, my thought line with the whole argument is this: would you consider ToT with its two drop shafts as two separate rides? No, because they deliver similar to identical experiences (depending on how much you pay attention to those little details). Space Mountain, to me, is the same. The two tracks offer similar to identical experiences. On the other hand, each coaster from DC offers a different feel and emotion. Fire offers a focus on speed and intensity through inversions while Ice is all about tight turns and a smooth ride. Are they housed in the same building? Yes, but if you were to place them next to each other with separate queues, like the new Battlestar Galactica attraction they would be considered two coasters. If you did the same with SM, it would seem silly.

According to the Orlando Sentinel article, butterbeer has a light butterscotch flavor to it.

Sounds good to me!
I don’t recall a waterfall on Jurassic Park, although I could be wrong. I believe there is a squirting dino, but it’s not enough to get the entire boat drenched. When you come down the final drop the boat makes an enormous splash at the bottom, but I usually end up staying pretty dry. It must depend where you sit in the boat.
Someone posted descriptions of the food on another site:

I have always gotten wet on JP and so has my family that I remember and the people around us, so maybe you're the lucky one. :animwink:
And Space is 2 different coasters. Tied with IoA. :sohappy:

Maybe I am. I'll let you know when I go on Saturday.
I'm still not getting your logic here. Are you now trying to compare the coasters of four parks with the coasters of one? Because that's really unfair. And rather confusing.

This has got to be one of the dumber arguments on this thread...... I'd rather do 20 rounds arguing with a Universal Fan-boy about Disney vs Univ.

^No, I'm pretty sure he's right. It's as if there are 2 completly seperate designs for the coasters with only a couple of design elements that are similar (the famous element seen from the entrance that nearly collides the 2 dragons together). Space Mountain's two sides are mirror images.
So in theory, one side of the coaster might be more or less similar to the "Hulk" coaster than the other dragon coaster, they're completely different.
