My DH wants to go to Universal I'm not sure, Convince me.

After WDW and SW we will only have one day left of our trip we agree that if it is hot we will go to a water park but if it isn't DH wants to go to Universal. (We are going in FEB.) We've been to WDW and SW before but Never to US I need info. We have 13 yr old and 8 yr old girls. We like rides not big like Kraken but test track is our fav. and we all love animals. Now what should we do? I looked at the site and US seems better than I of A am I right? What are the must sees since we only have one day? Please Help!

If you don't go, we will shoot the stuffed bear! Just kidding...we will shoot rubber bands at the stuffed bear!

Depends who you ask. Theme park enthusiasts who aren't afraid of thrill rides & enjoy good theming will tell you IOA is the single best theme park in the world. The more timid folk will prefer Universal, even though it doesn't come close to IOA in the overall experience department. In fact, before MIB was opened, I would have listed IOA as my favorite Orlando theme park, and USF as my least favorite. USF has since moved ahead of Seaworld and some of the Disney parks though, so it's a little more comparable.

Agreed and either way you can't really go wrong, they're both excellent

If you like rides, IOA is awesome! I have just returned from my third trip to IOA and I personally feel it is far better than anything Disney has to offer. IOA has its very own wicked atmosphere and theming. I find it to be generally less crowded than Disney as well as being more manageable. I am not a huge fan of the Studios side however.

Get a park hopper for both, you will want to do both.

Words of wisdom to live by or...Rocky the fountains advice for a penny?

To the OP...absolutely give Universal a day at the least...it will have you wanting more for sure!
