Hi all
Planning our first trip to Universal this Christmas, 1 week in HRH then onto WDW for another 2 weeks
. I'm trying to get an idea of the types of rides and compare them to Disney, particularly for DS. I would think the the big coasters have no direct comparison, so that'll probably be just DD and I. He likes Soarin, Star Tours, Test Track, TSM, Buzz and Big Thunder Mountain. Also loves the shows, particularly Inidiana, Lights, Motor Action, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. He doesn't like EE (the backwards part), RNR (upside down), SM (too rough and dark). I've done a list based on my research so far and would really appreciate some input/advice. Also if anybody has any ideas on things not to miss, that would be great
