As someone in Florida who is quite near both parks, universal is by far the better option more affordable better rides better atmosphere. It’s truly the perfect park.
This year we got the new Villain Con attraction along with the new minion land opening soon, next year we possibly got the new DreamWorks land opening, and in 2025 we got Epic Universe opening. Maybe 2026 could possibly have a whole lost continent retheme open?
I prefer Disney by quite a bit, but for the price, Universal by far. Although, if you can afford it, do Disney, specifically Animal Kingdom, that park is so beautiful.
@@CobbleBompster I think it really depends on what kind of rides you want. Disney does not really have any amazing top 10 coasters but universal has two or three
@@mattsharkey311 yup mine are velocicoaster, Incredible Hulk coaster and revenge of the mummy
@@blackcreeper-zh9rowhat abotlut hagrids
Disney is getting rid of it's good rides and Uni is adding classics.
What rides are Disney getting rid of?
@@CJthecollector splash mountain
@@The_MenraC oh ok
Universal was known for closing good rides and replacing them with bad ones or a downgraded ride.
I’m still ticked off that they closed Splash Mountain.
the amount of complexity involved with any kind of disney world trip now is such a barrier. the freedom is so limited
Disney is trash. Based DeSantis for calling them out. Florida doesn't need Disney. Universal, Sea World, and BGT are all plenty for the Florida theme park industry. Disney World can move to Atlanta or something.
@@jandrew1994 there is no way in hell Disney is going to move their whole park to another state. It's literally impossible and plus, they just added many new attractions
@@jandrew1994 yep gotta keep bringing in the money if you want those sweet sweet tax breaks.
It is a chore. There's so much work involved with trying to go to Disney.
@@jandrew1994 we got enought traffic pls dont wish that on us
I think the generational divide thing is real as well. The older generations did not grow up reading Harry Potter or playing Nintendo, nor did they have options like Universal when they were kids, and when I hear them talk about Disney I hear so many stories about “nostalgia” and parents taking their kids to Disneyland or WDW as kind of a rite of passage. Whereas Gen Z does not seem to have the same level of nostalgia attachment to the Disney brand as their parents & grandparents and many of them won’t want to pay an arm and a leg for rides that were built in the 1970s at Magic Kingdom when they see rides like Hagrid’s & Starfall Racers just down the street at a more reasonable price.
I was a Disney kid, went to Disneyland twice or more a year, WDW every couple years and honestly, ever since they did away with fastpass, the experience has been so stressful and devoid of joy at times that even as a person with extreme nostalgia, I am skipping WDW all together this august and spending my time at Universal instead.
Bad idea
I remember when Avengers Campus opened at DCA in California. Just letting you know, it is not as good as a bugs land
I just did my first ever visit to the Universal Orlando Resort, and I kinda get the hype now. It’s actually incredible, and I think it’s better than Disney World in so many ways. I hope Universal comes out on top because they are doing so much of a better job
Went to universal for a 4 day trip and it was surprisingly affordable. There were some cheap hotel options decently close to Universal that had a complimentary bus servive which allowed me to avoid waiting for parking space. The park was absolutely fantastic with islands of adventute being an absolute mind blowing experience. The lost continent area was just gorgeous and the rides were fantadtic. The wait times despite being really packed went by a lot quicker than expected and was surprisingly entertaining thanks to the theming in the queue line. Overall I would definitely rate Universal over disney in quality and pricing.
One thing that I found interesting during my recent trip to Disney is how spread out everything feels. Every park excels in certain things but no one park reigns Supreme. But Islands of Adventure has basically everything I want in a single theme park. I feel like a day at Islands is more fulfilling overall compared to a Disney day
Disneyland is basically DisneyWorld put together like Universal/City Walk/Islands of Adventure. Everything is right there. 2 parks separated by Downtown Disney. Yep, DisneyWorld is very spread out and not as appealing to me as Disneyland.
Yeah I completed WAYY more stuff at the universal resort, in the other hand we didn’t do a lot in WDW
Once Epic gets built, Universal has the throne. They probably already do. Interesting to see if Disney makes plans for the 5th park anytime soon.
I mean, Disney does have plans to invest a lot of money in Disney World, so I’m expecting something along the lines of that
@@musicmoviesandgames2004 That's all they are, plans. They've been so slow with progress in any project that by the time they get started with something it ends up getting it's budget slashed or just cancelled. Tron took so long to build that once it opened the hype was already dying.
The numbers speak for themselves, Disney world has the most visited park in the USA it is what it is.
@@CVerse Epic might get finished before whatever is going at Epcot LMAO
@@MrKelvin2230the numbers? Really? Universal is more affordable, has better rides, and has a brighter future than Disney, it took Disney how long to open tron and guardians? Universal had Velocicoaster out by opening day. Epic universe is the final nail in the coffin for Disney and their fake promises.
Before Epic Universe opens, Universal has no chance to overtake Disney.
Disney World still has more than double Universal's visitors. With Epic, ... boy, then it'll become interesting!
100% agree.
I went to Universal in June 2022 (almost excatly a year ago) and I was just thinking, 'this is literally just a more grown-up Disney' and while Disney is still great, I'm rooting for Universal
Universal is opening a lot of stuff, but they have also turned there focus to upgrading their older parks. Universal Florida is finally getting a minions retheme to that previously ugly entrance. They are also thankfully replacing kid's zone with dreamworks. I think that these improvements will do wonders for getting attendance up in all parks
epic universe, HHN year-round experience, new kid theme park, expanding the hollywood and japan park.
When someone has to decide whether to sell an arm and a leg to enjoy a solid Disney experience... I reckon Universal will look like the better option at the end of the day.
As a Disney fan, you're right, but to me, Universal's role is to make Disney wake up, Epic Universe is the slap Disney needs, I still believe they can make amazing stuff, they just need a reason to. Univeral could be just that
No. Universals role is to make money
@@Kdogswizz He doesn't mean it literally, it's just an expression 💀
@@ajbeaver25 bro really used an unnecessary 💀
I’m a major disney fan and universal will never settle with me I just hate it for some reason I feel like since disney is rivals with them I am rivals with them
Universals role is to bet Disney, what can they do against Velocicoaster or hagrid's
Another thing going in Universal's favor is guest experience. In between having to make reservations far in advance at Disney and Genie+ absolutely destroying standby lines (thus making itself a necessity to buy and learn), Universal is becoming more appealing simply because it's easier to just go and enjoy yourself for a day without having to plan out all this stuff in advance. I also tend to have better experiences with Universal employees than Disney CMs (the latter always seem overworked to me, but this obviously varies by experience). Combine all this with a Universal vacation being cheaper, and you're getting great value.
Plus, at Disneyland there’s drawing classes, interactive experiences, shows, fireworks that are incomparable.
Universal seems all around more nimble and inventive
Disney feels stiff, bureaucratic, and corporate
Not to mention, Comcast is dominating in the animation division. Kids growing up with Minions and Mario movies will certainly impact the nostalgia factor that Universal needs to fully overtake Disney as top spot.
For me universal has been better for about 5 years now. Even when I went in 2014 when I was 10, I actually enjoyed universal much more
Same
Islands of Adventure is better but the flagship park is mid
@@Steven._.. agreed, they need to start investing in USF
@@Steven._.. I agree
ik this is very off topic but when i saw u say u were 10 in 2014 i legit said ‘oh so he’s only only 14/15 when i realised that u would be 18. wtf why is time going so quickly 😭😭
I think the hotels show that Universal is going for being a vacation destination in it's own right, rather than something people combine with a Disney trip. Coming from the UK I've always done both but I'm planning a Universal, Busch Gardens trip for next year. Once Epic Universe is open I think you could easily spend 3 days across the OG parks, 1-2 days at volcano bay & 1-2 days at Epic.
I still think their main park is the weakest of them/disney in Florida but islands is the best of all of them, and Epic looks like it's gonna be big enough to be on that level straight away instead of opening mid like most parks in the past.
I am going to move to Orlando next year and I originally wanted to get an annual pass to Walt Disney World. However because of the decline in quality and raising their prices, it’s something that I’m not wanting to put my money down anymore for Disney.
For the past three months, I have been wanting to get an annual pass to Universal Orlando Resort instead. And that is something that I am going to be doing once I have settled in to the state of Florida.
I am a local passholder who highly recommends if you settle within 30 minutes of Universal, buy the premiere pass. Besides the free express pass after 4pm, free HHN ticket, and discounts on food & merch, the free valet parking ($75 each trip) adds up quickly and will basically pay for the pass by the end of the year. Plus, valet has its own security check and is literally at the entrance to City Walk. HUGE perk at the end of the day when your legs are worn slap out!
@@hippychikforever just a little update:
I’ll be living 20 to 30 minutes away from Universal once I have settled in to Orlando, so getting a Premium Pass to their parks is something that I’m no doubt gonna be doing
I think in my opinion, Universal has been the King of Florida theme parks since 2019 and now with Epic Universe and that rumored Dreamworks area and new Minion Land, Universal will put Disney to shame in my opinion.
Once Epic Universe is built, an all-out war is about to take place between Universal and Disney
@@averagecoasterenjoyer 100%
Both put a lot of money into the rides complementing with some great theming. However, Disney is trying to satisfy the families and GP, while Universal calls a manufacturer and asks them to build the best possible rollerncoaster, like we see with velocicoaster, it is the full package
And we see that Universal asking companies to make the best coaster possible is working just as well as Disney pleasing everyone, and while DIsney isn't bad for that, I like Universal's methods much more
Exactly, if Disney doesn't build rides that are more for adults and coaster enthusiasts than they'll never be better.
I live in California and I’ve only been to Universal Studios twice yet I still think its better than Disneyland which I’ve been 10s of times. I think that Universal is more immersive everywhere, where as Disney isn’t as immersive and I only feel immersed on some rides. (I said immersive 3 times in one scentence)
3:00 I've been to five parks, and Chessington World of Adventures and Europa-Park both gave me that sense of childlike wonder. Chessington is mainly nostalgia (it was the first theme park I ever went to, and it was where I rode my first rollercoaster), but Europa-Park is genuinely a great park.
I've never been to Disney, but I think Disney has some serious competition from both Universal and some independent parks.
Many families that have been Disney loyalists have been priced out. Universal and other regional parks around the country have benefited as a result. In the words of Jon Lovitz in The Wedding Singer “They’re losing they’re minds and everyone else is reaping the benefits.”
I love your content man. you deserve a lot more
I think another factor should be that some smaller park chains/regional parks could cause some impact as well. Cedar Fair has been pushing more to a combination of universal and disney as they have been putting lots into shows and theming. They actually hired a universal designer to work at Cedar Fair to bring more theming to the chain. They also have meal/dining plans with really good options. Like my local park kings dominion serves prime rib and BBQ under the dining plan which is only $115 for the whole year.
Cedar Point, cedar fairs home has resort hotels and stuff as well.
Cedar Point also has Fronteirtown, and that is a very well themed place, and they made that land way long ago
@@averagecoasterenjoyer also cedar fair owns Knotts berry farm which was apparently where Walt Disney got his inspiration for the Disney parks. Knotts is older then Disneyland
I was in Florida some weeks ago (I live in France) and I definitely prefer Universal Florida than DisneyWorld for Orlando.
My family and I had a trip to Disney planned for august 2023. Because of the controversy Disney has put itself in, we cancelled our hotel reservation and tickets and are instead staying at a Universal Premier hotel and going to all three parks (universal, volcano bay and island’s of adventure). Oh, and I have a universal annual pass, so guess where we are going in the future.
You should do a video on possible replacements for top thrill dragster. Cedar point is taking it apart and the only part left is the tower.
Velocicoaster is already BETTER than any coaster at any Disney park
I believe Disney World will still remain supreme, however, Universal will give them the run for the money. Disney will need to create more quality rides, a few more roller coasters and rides like Star Wars. But in the end, I think Disney will still be the number one location in Florida. In L.A., Disneyland will still be top as well. Universal Hollywood is stepping up and all the construction coming up, I think it will be the place to go to. I love both parks equally and have lots of memories from Universal and Disney on both sides of the coast. I cannot wait for Universal Vegas to open, that will be loads of screams.
exactly. and I think the expansion plans for Universal will hurt overall attendance across the board. If they are making specific new parks themed around something that you have to go there to see; there starts the budgeting for travel for which to go to. Yes Disney has multiple parks as well with several unique things to the location but you are still getting the same standard experience no matter what park and that is where Disney will always reign supreme.
Yes current leadership is seeing dollar signs more than the fabric of why people go to the Disney Parks and hopefully they realize that; and i think they already are making those steps getting rid of park reservation, toning down Genie + (though as a seasoned park goer I never use Genie + and still ride every ride without issue.) and bringing back plans and discounts that were in place prior to COVID.
I just think people confuse rides with experience and sure Universal as some awesome rollercoasters but I can just go to the theme parks closer to home if I just want to ride rides all day. When I go to Disney I feel separate from the world Universal I still feel like I'm just in Orlando at just another coaster filled park.
And this is my subjective option based on my experiences but I just don't see Disney ever not being the destination trip regardless of current circumstances
@@TheGamefreak612- Six Flags, Busch Gardens, and Cedar Fair parks have the coasters, which are awesome. But that is it, just coasters. You know, if you think about it, Six Flags could increase their bottom line if they reduce half of their parks in the U.S.A. and concentrate their fundings on the highest attendance parks. Six Flags Magic Mountain in California should still be their flagship park as Cedar Park is for Cedar Fair. Nicholas, you said it best. People confuse rides over experience. Sure, Universal has great experiences. I have not been on VelociCoaster yet, but it looks amazing on the CZcams videos I've seen of it. I still like the Universal attractions that are not coasters as well. In the 80's and 90's, they had Conan which was awesome. The Terminator 3D was cool as hell. I also liked Disney's Captain EO, Star Tours (the old and new versions), and I did ride the Disneyland's People Mover one year before Disney shut it down.
I go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas for the awesome Iron Rattler and Dolly World's awesome collection of coasters just for the thrills. I will say this Nicholas, Disney is the best at experience and immersion. Universal is a close second. When I go to Disney, I am in a fantasy world, removed from outside B.S. Universal does not give me this, but it is still a grand park. I do not consider it to be a coaster-filled park, just a different kind of park. After a day at Universal, I feel fulfilled and complete. When people try to compare Disney with Universal, there is no comparison. Disney does have a great history and a lot of original intellectual property that makes Disney what it is. Adding the new properties; FOX movies, Pixar, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, Marvel, Touchstone Pictures, and ESPN, they have a lot of material that they can expand on years to come. I know Disney is having to cut back now. Igor did buy Fox properties for billions of dollars, the Star Wars hotel was not as successful as they liked, and Disney spent too much money on Disney+. But if Disney can get it going, I would like to see some of the blue-sky projects come to life: Magic Kingdom expansion with new lands behind Big Thunder, expansion of the Disney Resort in California if Anaheim city just re-zones, fixing or removing the People Mover in California, bring DisneySea to Animal Kingdom (Disney, this would be the best), add two more world pavilions to EPCOT, add another quality attraction like Rise of the Resistance, and add a few more heavily themed roller coasters. In 2050, a fifth park?
I think Disney could use a few more coasters. An awesome Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid featuring Alladin magic carpet doing a tour of Agrabah. A kid indoor coaster featuring Coco flying through the city of the dead. A Bolliger & Mabillard outdoor standing coaster (almost like the Pipeline at Sea World) with either Ironman or Ironheart, where the riders are testing out a new flying suit and we are the ones testing it. Now, we could see a few more indoor dark rides like Mickey's Runaway Train as well. Please, no more teacups and aerial carousel-style rides. They have enough of those.
I am going to stop here because now, I am just dreaming. I cannot wait to see what both Disney and Universal come up within in the next few decades. Also, will any theme park get a coaster five hundred feet in the air?
I mean with the exclusion of magic kingdom, universal is winning in terms of attendance over Disney World
@@ProjectThemePark why exclude magic kingdom that is part of Disney World and of course skews the numbers to universal. That’s like saying excluding china and India the United States has the most people. You can’t exclude something that would prove your point
@@TheGamefreak612 I think you're taking their comment the wrong way. They are literally saying that Magic Kingdom is number one in terms of attendance
Your taste for instrumentals is top tier
We're all enthusiasts here so I'd guess Universal is top. I certainly love it
yoo an episode on my favorite park! its wild how fast epic universe is being built. uni is always on top for me- ripriderockit changed my life!
Although Disney has been falling off recently you gotta give them credit for making Florida the place it is today. I mean it was a literal swamp before Disney was built and started attracting people.
As someone that pefers Disney, I think it all depends on the next Disney CEO post Iger part 2. The reason why I just don’t think Disney can go through with what Chapak did again. All of the park changes like genie + have partially been on him. I think hiring the next Generation at Disney would be a big factor on staying on top.
Unfortunately, Iger kind of left a mess for Chapak to begin with; I hope you're right but im not holding my breath
@@jessicaarias8024 I don’t think that you’re entirely wrong Iger did hire Kathleen Kennedy too. I just hope Iger is hiring the right people this time around.
Honestly it depends on the location a little, I don't think Universal Studios Hollywood will ever come close to getting as good as the disney parks in the LA area, meanwhile in Japan Tokyo Disneyland and the insanely well received DisneySea are strong competition for the Osaka Universal Park
@PittsProdNo you’re absolutely right. Florida is the home of theme parks for most people
How Universal IS better than Disney
2009 was the last time I went to Disney World. Back in 1974 was the first time I visited. Moved to Florida that year, later I had 2 years worth as a Disney Annual Passholder, I saw the decline in quality years ago. When Universal opened, we said it’s fun but not Disney. When Islands Of Adventure opened that started the ball in motion. Today Universal Orlando is the best resort to visit. When Epic Universe opens people will be blown away I feel.
If both company’s keep doing what they are doing for the next couple of years then I surely think universal will surpass Disney
The fact that planning a disney world vacation takes so much planning and locking yourself into things you decided months before your actual trip is a huge turn off for me. I started to plan a disney world trip, paid money and about a month after "booking" everything called and cancelled because i was getting emails on, dont forget this and that. Buy this, preplan that. I just said enough and we went to Disneyland instead. The most planning I want is what day im going, what hotel im staying at and what flights will get me there. Everything else I want to be decided when convenient
Depends on how excellent epic universe turns out to be.... But I think it's possible to see that shift happen across this decade if things continue like this
Also season passes are soooooooooo much cheaper for locals which is important, and at least here in California Super Nintendo world is actually a Disney level pull (I’m hearing a ton of people saying let’s go to universal instead of Disney in convo) and in Cali even day tickets are about 30%. Cheaper than Disney. Even with universal Cali restrictions they are still being seen on the level of Disney for a reasonable price
As someone who's new to the rollercoaster scene, u should make a vid about the different types of rollercoasters, whether it be a giga or whatever. I'm still having trouble finding solid answers, and your vids are always so informative!!!
CoasterBot, ElToroRyan, and Airtime Trills all have good explainer videos. especially coasterbot's "what is..." series
There certainly getting there, but they will need a 4th park, a second water park, more resorts, unique transportation and better restaurants to even think about taking over.
epic universe is gonna have more wizarding world, plus universal monsters (classics like dracula and werewolf,) how to train your dragon, a huge dueling coaster, and nintendo. it’s unbelievable how many things are going to be added. on top of all that, they’re in the process of constructing a universal kids land in texas to combat the family-friendly appeal of a lot of disney’s rides. all in all, the franchise is set to skyrocket from here. it’s insane
Disney really messed up not buying the rights to Harry Potter when they had the chance.
No way bro called Runaway Railway mid. That shit was baller
I Love Both DISNEY And UNIVERSAL Theme Parks But I'm More Of A DISNEY Theme Park Guy Because I'm A DISNEY Fan They Help Me Going Through My Tough Times And Depressions
the one thing no one talks about with islands is that they only have 3 major coasters, and while they do have a lot of great dark rides, I would still put Hershey, CP, and probably magic mountain above it. however, I went to both universal and Disney last year and I enjoyed universal much more. I do still think islands is a great park though
They don't talk about it because they know it's not their focus
Yeah well it’s not a coaster park?
This video is a certified BANGER
If Universal keeps their Hotel prices at Endless summer the same, and Disney keeps that stupid reservation system, then when Universal opens Nintendo land it will be curtains for Disney.
0:00 me, a Dutchman: Efteling for life
first new video since I subscribed. Neat!
The thing that actually made me first think Disney was losing it's quality was the Genie system. Why can't they just have a normal fast pass like Universal?
As a universal fan, The Jimmy Fallon ride is really good
I love Universal but they need to build more family friendly rides and attractions. Many adults and children cannot ride rollercoasters and simulated rollercoasters. Motion sickness is an issue for a lot of people on those rides. I have been on almost every ride at Disney but there are quite a few rides at Universal I cannot ride, and I just have to bypass when I go.
Universal has better rides but Disney is all about the “magic” you feel in the park
disney is twiddling their thumbs while universal is building an entire new theme park
You are forgetting the biggest area where Disney has drastically declined and Universal has drastically upped their game. Guest Relations. Since Covid Guest Relations has been terrible at Disney. I tell this story as a microcosm of the Guest experience at both parks. In 2021 we decided to see how the parks were handling covid restrictions (we are travel agents and wanted to see what our clients were experience) on the Universal portion of our trip Team members were happy polite and working with guests to ensure protocols were met. During the Disney portion I witnessed Cast Members get in literal fights with guests
I saw a Cast Member on Star Tours refuse to start the ride because a 4 year old couldn't keep his mask glasses and 3d glasses on. It was horrible. But here's the kicker that trip unexpectedly fell on the day where outdoor masking went away. We went to both resorts. Disney Cast Members were angry at people for not wearing masks and Universal Team Members were all saying its good to finally see your faces again. Customer service matters Disney has forgotten that
We just came back from a combo Universal/Disney trip and I noticed the same thing. Last time I was at Disney was 2018 and the magic was still there. Now a much higher proportion of cast members seem to have lost the joy that was once there. 2018 Disney cast seemed to still be fighting to make guest experiences magical. Now if you want real magic, you go to Harry Potter lands. The staff at Universal is so welcoming...which wouldn't be as noticeable if it weren't for the contrast/gap Disney has left.
Yeah I came back from Disney and Universal earlier this week and noticed a similar thing…there were multiple guest relations CMs that were just really rude and a CM on the Guardians ride was being a total jackass about getting enough people on the ride (basically he asked for a party of four but didn’t speak clearly enough and then yelled “no party of four? Okay cool we’ll go without you!” and whenever people finally heard him two parties of four started making their way down, whenever the first party came he told the other group “too bad, should’ve came earlier!”). Hell even on Rise of the Resistance a couple of the cast members seemed bored.
Then I go to Universal and every CM is so happy to be there, they were all so jovial and felt like they just wanted us to have a good time.
I theorize the problem could be that Disney CMs are overworked compared to Universal but it could be something else, who knows.
Universal will never take down Disney. Universal is a tadpole to them. Let’s be realistic here. No matter how much people try to change your mind about it. It’s just realistically not true.
Universal will dominate when epic universe comes to the public
Super Nintendo World in California has been ludicrously popular and they're building a much bigger one ,with a Donkey Kong section at that, in Florida right now.
Hagrid's is just fun. That's the secret sauce.
If Universal wants to beat Disney, they really need to get on their food game.
How dare you, Runaway Railway is delightful!
if Universal makes all these Nintendo lands (Zelda, Pokemon, etc.) It will be insane
Love your content
:)
We’re getting out the home park with this one🔥🔥🔥
Hagrid's and VelociCoaster are amazing
Universal is a top tier park and Disney, like you said, is not as good. I went a long time ago when I was six ish and I remember riding thunder mountain, splash mountain, and space mountain, which were all fine, but compared to the lineup at universal, it’s nothing. Velocicoaster is the best coaster I’ve been on with the intense features and theming. Hagrids is a very fun ride and has got the best theming on a ride yet, which both these rides have over the theming at Disney, so I think from the point I’ve went to universal after Disney, I thought it was the best park in florida, and I still do.
"I could make a whole video about this land" PWEASE.
What you haven’t mention is each parks maintenance universal actually take good care on each ride and gave solid refurbishment unlike Disney, lefting broke effects and ride system
I think Disney has finally peaked with Rise of The Resistance, from here on out, the parks will decline in quality, while universal will rise to fame.
I grew up going to disney for 9 years and the first time I went to Universal I never wanted to go back to disney
bro you have an elite taste in music
i think disney should just do what universal does and rely on there bigger ip’s like star wars and marvel, universal has been able to do 3 separate harry potter themed lands and they keep going after jurassic world/park and it’s paying off, if disney was to do marvel themed stuff in other locations other than florida that would make sense because of the contract universal has with marvel before disney bought marvel, but they can still do a star wars themed land in florida
Another reason I believe is the fact that universal mostly stays away from controversial things in their movies and in their parks when compared to Disney
Went to Florida for the first time last year. I think i enjoyed BGT a bit more than Islands but im a coaster junkie. Didn't even consider going to Disney.
my first ride on hagrids was the best ride i’ve had on any coaster. if the rides at epic universe are on the same level it will be the best park in florida maybe the us
I've been going there after my parents after my parents had they're first honeymoon even in 7th and 8th grade to islands of adventure and with youth group as well.
commenting to boost the algo! I'm really excited for Epic Universe to come to Universeal, the area at Epic Universe I'm most excited for is the How to Train Your Dragons area!
CP3 stay catching strays lmao
*imagine the astronaut meme*
"Wait is Universal better than Disney?"
"It always has been"
As a Suns fan we can never escape the Chris Paul game 7 refrences
The one thing Universal needs to fix is at there main Park they have too many rides/IP that are beyond 20 years old and just stale …if they can upgrade and update rides such as Men in Black and Simpsons …as well as get rid of Fast and Furious they might be cooking! I’m excited for epic universe my only nit pick would be that new land needs another water ride like a Creatures from the Black Lagoon theme
Yup!!
I mean, when we had a 4 day layover in LA, we spent 3 days at Disneyland and DCA and 1 day at Universal. We had fun at both (maybe a bit more at Disney, but we didn’t ride Mummy). They were still same level since we didn’t do Knotts (Ghostrider was being retracted anyways) and Hell No to an inexperienced 8 year old at the land of Twisted Colossus, X2 and Tatsu. But now, Islands would be top priority park in Florida (but we would never go back after the Trump presidency)
3:01 nah them animatronics getting turnt to the beat 💀💀💀
dawg it’s been better for a while
When he uploads it’s a good day
4:08 I wonder, how does Volcano Bay compare with Typhoon Lagoon?
Judging by the photos on Google Images, Typhoon Lagoon has less visible slides and more immersion. However, I've also heard that Volcano Bay has the more thrilling slides.
What do you think?
Volcano Bay's theming is definitely prevalent but it's not really the focus of anything, it's the baseline for what their rides look like and such. Volcano Bay has some thrilling stuff, for example there's trapdoor slides that never have a line because they're so scary people don't do it. I've never been to Typhoon Lagoon, though.
love ur attitude
Fantastic video!!!
Universal deserves to be number. Their additions over the past 10 years and their plans for the next 2 years blows Disney out the water. Disney deserves to be number two given the mismanagement. It will be the only way to get Disney working hard again to be the best.
There’s some Poseidon entertainment videos which cover this same kinda thing, just because you have recognizable characters doesn’t mean a mediocre ride will get that boom in popularity you’re expecting, your guests aren’t idiots
I recently went to Florida on vacation. Got to visit Universal Studios, Islands and some Disney Parks. And tbh I would say both Disney and Universal are some what of an equal state in terms of pricing. However, you get your money’s worth at Universal Studios Diagon Alley and with everything to do at Islands of Adventure. Universal Studios to me is still weak because of the many screen based/3D attractions (FF, Jimmy Fallon, Simpsons which gave me neck problems the rest of the trip). Despicable Me is just not for me but I understand it’s purpose for family and kids. But Disney have way to many problems with the amount of people that go to the parks, rides constantly being down do to technical issues and the absurd amount of wait times for some rides that are ok. When Universal opens Epic Universe, I think that is when a major shift will happen. I could go on for days about some issues but I already made this comment way too long.
I don’t know if Universal can compete with the new Epcot entrance.
😂😂😂
It will take a phew years till universal beats Disney but the recognition will take alot longer
I’ve been to Disneyland with my family 3 months ago. The ONE DAY trip costed almost $2,000. (This is Paris btw)
One thing I’m kinda sad ab is that there will be no other games other than Mario ones for the Nintendo section 😭I would of so loved smth relates to splatoon lol
I prefer Universial IOA over Disney. I was like 8 when i first went to both parks and 20 the second time. I guess i've just always liked more thrilling rides👌also miss the jaws ride, got to ride that at night and it was cool, didn't even know it was gone until i returned to the park
Disney should consider an Endor themed speederbike coaster at their parks
I'm biased living in PA but people sleep on Hershey Park. It's a massive theme park (with water park and zoo) literally built around the chocolate factory. They also have 2 luxury hotels, golf courses, 2 arenas (home to a minor league hockey team), a football stadium, a theater, museums, and a freaking school! It's not Disney or Universal but it's the clear #3 in my book, and way more immersive/better themed than any 6 Flags or Cedar Fair property.
Dollywood? Silver dollar city?
