HELPPPP!!!Is Universal and IOA ok for small children?

[Universal-Excitement]

Wow, that link is a little outdated. The Wild West show has been gone for quite awhile.

Where is Wild West posted on my kids guide? Usually the day something closes all traces of it are removed from my site, as soon as something is changed i.e. Express Pass to Express Plus I makes sure all mention of free Express is removed. I am very up to date with my site. Which is why my site's open and has had some 30 updates to it to a certain sites 4 small updates in the last one year. I won't get into that but, my site is far from outdated... sorry but I just had to remark on that comment. Granted I did write the kids guide some four years ago because so many people kept asking me "What is there for kids to do at Universal?" and "What rides can kids enjoy at Universal" after answering the question like 2000 times I decided to write the kids guide. So there may be a small mention of an old attraction, but it's not featured on the site as a current ride. Even at that I still don't see any mention of Wild Wild West on my Kids Guide. So I am curious where you read it or where do you see it?

Here is the exact text from your site:

This is another area kids will love, you have a wild west stunt show that is pretty funny which will make your kids laugh out loud. You have a laser take shoot out at Men In Black and you have my favorite ride Back to the Future.

I believe I do see a wild west show mention there.

I really don't care who comes to the site... I didn't post the link to the site here, I just seen my stats just now that people came to the site from here and wanted to see why. I felt that the remark was made to say my site is outdated and well it's not.

Well I'll post it here, too.

even a better form of advertising.

Why would I care who comes to my site? Do I need people to come to my site? Do I get something from people who are coming to my site? NO! I get nothing, I don't even get the satisfation of knowing I helped someone go to Universal. So why would I care who comes to the site? I have been working on updating my site for the last 3 weeks, something that should have taken 2 days at the most and I am still working on it because I am taking my sweet old time because I don't really care what the site looks like or who sees it the way it is. I don't care about my site or Universal at this point in my life but I do take offense to people criticizing the hard work I've put into the site over the last 7 years. The bottom line is that my site is not in competition with anyone... if I was in competition with anyone they wouldn't be listed in my links, and every Universal site is listed in my links. So I could really care less about who comes to my site, people e-mail questions all the time and I answer them, people post question on my forum and I answer them, people post questions on my yahoo group and I answer them, people ask me for pictures and/or videos of rides at Universal on AIM or MSN and I send them to them. I don't care who comes to the site, but the ones who do and want something from me I give them... those people won't stop coming to the site, but as far as me caring about who comes to the site... I could really care less who comes to my site.

EDIT: This will be my last reply on the subject because my question was answered and my point is made.

I never said your site was outdated, just that the link posted here was a little outdated. You have a wonderful website which is very comprehensive with tons of pictures. I highly recommend the site for anyone planning a trip to Universal. I just felt that the summary I posted was more geared for very young kids. Most 3 year olds would find Terminator a little intense ( not all but most) and yet you recommended it for kids. You glossed over Barney because, as you said in the posted link, you have never gone to it. You have many, many great articles, pictures, touring information, and facts on your site. But honestly, I felt that the link posted here was not geared to touring with very young children like the original poster has. (The OP has three children and the oldest child is 3 years old.) Your article works great for older children but not for the very young. You can take it as a personal insult or take it as a difference of opinion on what young kids might like. I posted another view of what younger children might like. But ultimately, it just depends on the child and it is up to the parents who know their own children better to decide. I based my opinion on years of teaching first grade and raising 5 children of my own. None of my own five children were scared of coasters but one screamed his head off on Pirates of the Caribbean when he was 3 years old. Go figure...

I agree with Phamton totally, although I have to know, which one screamed his head off on POTC?
It is really hard to say what the OP's kids will like before they get there. Although, I do think that children younger than 3 will be happier splashing around in the kiddie pool at the hotel more than they would like being dragged around all day in a stroller in the summer at a theme park.
My son that is scared to death of everything. He won't even ride The Flying Unicorn but my 6 year old twins will ride it 10 times in a row if I let them.

That would be Austin (one of my twins). He loves thrill rides and is a coaster nut. He loved Haunted Mansion at 3 years old but screamed like a banshee on PotC at Disneyland when the ships were shooting cannons at each other.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my OP. Everything has helped us make the descion to see the parks. Probably just in the morning and we will probably miss a lot of things. Dh and I may return in the evening when the kids are with grandma. Having never been to Universal or Islands of adventure before and not knowing what to expect everyones opinion has helped. I am sure that my 3 year old will enjoy every minute of it as will my 2 younger guys. (When they are this little everything is still so magical and fear is really not exsistant yet.) Once again thank you to all.
