Universal Studios ~ Orlando

I have to say, the Harry Potter attraction was cool, but Universal Studios was much more fun than Islands of Adventure.  It was less busy and there seemed to be more airflow through the park. 
Food prices were the same (reasonable). 

Universal seemed to have more rides.  Even the kiddie rides were fun!
We were greeted just inside the gate by DIEGO! That was awesome for my daughter since there were no characters at Islands of Adventure.  After leaving Diego, we were walking to our first ride and along the way we met CURIOUS GEORGE, WOODY WOODPECKER & SCOOBY-DOO. 







If that wasn't exciting enough, we came upon BARNEY'S Park, so we got to see A DAY IN THE PARK WITH BARNEY & have pictures with the Big Purple Dinosaur after the show!  The show was really kind of cute, it was like watching and episode of Barney!  My daughter loved it, she is 3!  They will never admit it, but my 10 & 7 year old boys even seemed to enjoy it!

THE SIMPSONS RIDE ~ How bad can it be?  It's inside and the height requirement was like 40" so I thought it would be somewhat calm.  Boy was I wrong!!  I highly suggest experiencing this ride!

RIP RIDE ROCKIT ~ My husband & sons highly recommend this ride to every roller-coaster lover!!
This starts out taking you straight up & almost straight down!  It's too much for for me since I am deathly afraid of heights, but everyone else LOVED it!!

All the rides at Universal were great!

I have to comment on the bathrooms though.  I saw no one cleaning them up throughout the day and by late afternoon, they were pretty gross!  The Dyson Hand Dryers were cool!

We generally visit Disney World a few times each year, I have to say these parks were not as clean or kept up as a Disney Park!
