Disney being '1000 times' better, is not a fact, it's an opinion; and to claim that it is a fact not only shows a great deal of narrow-mindedness, but also a great deal of blatant ignorance too.
I find it funny that ever since IOA opened, Disney has been foaming at the mouth to get a bunch of thrill rides open. Everest, RnRC, M:S... granted these plans might have been on the drawing board a while, but Disney was desperate to get them out once IOA opened, and we don't even know about the changes that most likely took place to make them more appealing. And let's not forget Disney's shameless marketing ploy that made it seem like that coaster in Dino-Rama was going to rival Hulk. Let's just say I was a little surprised that Disney snooped THAT low.
Granted, Universal has its flaws (look at A Day in the Park With Barney), but don't tell me that Disney is the be-all end-all of any and everything themepark (They do have DCA and THREE FRICKIN DUMBO CLONES!).
I'm trying to say is that narrow-minded and blind support to a Mouse, and being so quick to criticize anything that opposes them, is really childish. If you are going to follow anything (especially as trivial as a themepark), know what you are talking about.
(And Universal has the market on the 13-25 age bracket, so they are evidentily doing something right...)
