Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom routinely outdraws other Orlando theme parks in terms of attendance. But most visitors who vote in an annual survey conducted by a popular consumers Web site appear to be fans of Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. For the third consecutive year, Islands of Adventure was named favorite theme park by visitors to ThemeParkInsider.com. The site polled about 8,000 readers and released its results last month. This year, Islands of Adventure prevailed despite stiff competition from SeaWorld Orlando and Disneyland Paris, as well as Universal Orlando's own Universal Studios, according to ThemeParkInsider.com. But that wasn't the only good news for Universal Orlando. The company -- which touted the survey's results in a recent press release -- won the top spot in four of the following seven categories:

Best Theme Park: Islands of Adventure.

Best Attraction: The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Universal Studios.

Best New Attraction: Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios.

Best Restaurant in a Theme Park: Mythos Restaurant at Islands of Adventure.

Best Family Attraction: Festival of the Lion King at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Best Theme Park for Kids: Legoland California.

Best Hotel at a Theme Park Resort: Disney's Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland.

I think the new now would be if IOA did not make number 1. It's just a great park.
