This is just for fun. Everyone always goes on and on about disney vs. Universal. No clear cut winner, everyone will love what they love. But what about other things.
What are your opinions on say:
Busch Gardens Africa vs. Animal Kingdom?
Coasters vs. Themed Rides?
Fastpass vs. No fastpass?
Moose Juice vs. Goose Juice
Mytake:
Busch Gardens Africa has the edge here. The themeing is fairly good which immerses you, and the animal interactions are a lot closer and really more educational than say at Animal Kingdom. And most importantly, they have a lot more to do..a lot of rides, a lot of family attractions, a few shows, and of course the coasters.
Themed Rides immerse you into the experience. What would Rock N Roller Coaster be without the awesome themeing of G-Force Records? Just a standard launch coaster. Everest would be a backwards version of Big Thunder Mountain. Themeing works great with rides to make them better, where coasters just offer the thrills.
Fastpass slows down and gunks up the system. It takes a standby line that would be 30-45 minutes and doubles it because you have everyone coming through with fast pass tickets every few minutes. Then you have to "reserve" your spot and plan your day around the tickets. It just takes the fun out of it all. Add to it parks like Six Flags who charge for the "priveledge" of skipping the line, and Universal who offers it as a perk to their hotels, and you have lines that just engorge...it makes it almost impossible for everyone to enjoy themselves all day.
Moose Juice is Orange and citrusy and good. It gives you a good tingle in your soul. Goose Juice is green and sour appley and makes you fell sticky and icky.
Again, this is just for fun....so....have fun.
