Alright, the operative theme for 2009 for many is the whole "I'm a Disney fiend that, due to the economy is looking for a cheaper vacation" vibe. I fit into that perfectly. I can close my eyes and walk WDW parks in my mind. As a matter of fact, I was there last April and had a great time.
That being said, the last time I was at Universal Studios, it was 1995. I went with my wife, for we had no kids. We had a lot of fun. We rode JAWS. We rode that Earthquake thing that just shook and poured water which I thought was a huge waste of time.
We rode E.T., which I liked. But our problem is now that my 2 sons has never seen E.T. all the way through. They always fall asleep because they both think it's so boring. So E.T. will probably be their equivalent to "Small World", which they hated so much that they were angry that they even got into the little boat and wasted their time.
Now back in 1995, we also rode Kongfrontation. And Back to the Future. Both were OK, but... they're gone. Plus Kongfrontation was kinda silly.
And lastly, my favorite that I remember was Terminator 3-D; which was so scary that I was ducking from the Plasma Spider and shaking in my boots! I loved that attraction, and I think it was one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had in a theme park.
Now that was almost 14 years ago. I know a lot has changed. But I want to know from experienced Universal thrill-seekers: What's the most thrilling and/or scary rides in the parks? And don't hold back!

but it does. I love Dr Doom, although like the other rides it took 2 trips before I did any of the IOA rides. Tom is not keen on Doom either, but will go on it.
