Do many people like Universal more than Disney?

We just got back from our first visit to IOA/US, Sea World and Busch Gardens. We have been to Disney 2 times. We loved IOA/US and Sea World. Busch Gardens we could have done without. I was surprised how much all of us liked Sea World. My 9 year old liked Sea World best. I do love Disney and do think it has a special magic, but I loved IOA/US as well. Especially loved the Hard Rock Hotel. Could have stayed there for the whole day. I was really surprised how nice Universal was since many people don't seem to like it. We had a great time there.
 
I enjoy IOA the most. Love them coasters!

Don't get me wrong, I love Disney too (we also own at DVC). However, it seems like USF/IOA value my business more than Disney does. Their AP rates are MUCH better and they offer much better park discounts (food, souviners) than Disney. Yes, I will stay on site at Disney, but I will spend more $$ at USF/IOA.
 
We had lots more fun at Universal than Disney, but having FOTL at Universal had a lot to do with that.

I cant decide whether I like Islands of Adventure or Magic Kingdom better. IOA is like a more thrilling Disney but it doesnt have as many rides. If IOA adds a Grinch ride, Rocky and Bullwickle ride, and another Jurassic park ride then they will be #1 by far!
 
Thrilling rides??

did you go on the Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Dudley's Ripshaw Falls. Jurassic Park. the Fear Fall need i name more?????? and these are all in one park named IOA
