But what did you do? I think Seuss is very babyish - my girls are beyond doing One Fish, Two Fish - they don't do roller coasters - I am not spending the money for them to run through some water sprinklers - what else is there? When Nickelodeon was there, there some shows that were entertaining for different ages - I just don't see anything that would appeal to my girls and justify the expense.
I am going to stick to Disney for the next couple of years - it kills me to do this since I think Universal has the best roller coasters but I have not seen anything that can show me what else there is to do to justify the cost.
Thanks for all the responses!
You know your kids best, and it sounds like you have made a good decision.
I think the story may be different for boys.
My boys were 7 and 5 in 2007 when we last went to USO. They spent a LOT of time in Seuss land -- they loved Red Fish Blue Fish, the Cat in the Hat Ride, the water play playground area, the new ride (forget name: it is a train on a high track that lets you see all of the park), and even the Caroseussel. They also enjoy the toy shop and candy shop and meeting the characters from their favorite Seuss books.
But then again, they also love Fantasyland in MK. I would compare the above rides to the similar rides in Fantasy land.
Then there is the whole rest of the park: Spiderman and Storm Force and meeting Spiderman are great for younger kids, and they love the two water rides (Dudley Do Right and Bilge Rat Barges), which are a lot like Kali River Rapids and Splash Mountain at Diseny. there is also a coaster, the Flying Unicorn, which IMO, is perfect for this age: it is longer, higher and faster than a kiddie coaster (think Goofy's Barnstormer), but not too intense for children.
They also love to play in the themed playground with the water guns and caves and rope bridges. And my older son loves the Jurassic Park River Adventure.
Basically, at this entire theme park, there are three rides my 5 and 7 y/o could not do: the two coasters, and Dr. Doom's Fearfall.
We'll spend a few days at Universal in two weeks. My boys are now 6 and 8, and they are PSYCHED to be going back.
