One thing that universal or any other theme park will never touch is the detail and care that goes into each ride and land. You barley even notice when you go from land to land in Magic Kingdom. From music to architechture it's something that is unlike any where else. Cast members are always gonig to be there cause they love their job. I am friends with a bunch and they love their job and it shows when the guest come to the parks. From what I heard not many people enjoy their universal job besides the ablity to get into the city walk with discounts.
Besides that I think people are forgeting the new snow white roller coaster that will be coming out in a year. New Fantasyland is getting a roller coaster. While it may not be an everest which I'd say would rival the hulk, I think that it's got new innovative features to it that will add to the excitement.
All in all though I don't think disney is endanger of losing its title cause disney will always be the parks for families, and memories. No matter the rides or random assortment of movies that Universal throws together they won't be able to take that from disney. It's the magic, innovation, and memories that keeps families coming back. I went there when I was younger and I'm 23 now and while I'm no where near thinking about starting a family I do intend on taking my family to WDW to keep making more and more memories with there.
On top of that which other park honestly offers you the chance to go run around the parks for three days then jump straight onto a curise ship with a very small amount of hassel?
On an extra side note, typically the imagineers and otehr cast members that start to work fro universal are typically the ones who fall through the cracks. Plus I don't see where it said anything about this guy being an ex-Imagineer. He could've worked for disney as a custodial cast member for a summer and can claim to be a former cast member. As for his qoute rides are a small portion of a theme park.
