This is Universal Orlando - I assume the original Universal Studios in LA still has it?

three years pass...

Hmm, this may be the best place for this. I think I'm taking my older daughter to Universal in February, mostly for Harry Potter but since I've never been I'm hoping to do other stuff, too. I know my way around Disney pretty well, but know next to nothing about Universal. Any tips or hints? Alfred?

Spiderman ride is crazy fun. My son and I rode three times in a row. (Look for the express line that will seat single riders. We ended up sitting together each time anyway.)

Hit Potter early in the day, it gets crazy

Yeah, it looks like the week before and the week after are low-crowd days, but the couple of days we'll be there could be bad. Might spring for express passes the day of, though not sure they work on the two or three Potter rides. On the plus side, the lines are supposed to be fun to explore, in terms of details and stuff, which is often true at the best of Disney (Space Mountain, Expedition Everest, et al).

three months pass...

We just got back from our trip, and while the Harry Potter sections are everything they have been made out to be (making the gift shops the main attraction was genius), the rest of the park really exists to make Disney look even better at doing what they do. Universal is like a bigger, more incoherent Hollywood Studios. And man, Universal's nickel and diming is so much worse than Disney, too. A few pluses: Harry Potter, Simpsons world, OK coasters. But the rest is just one indoor motion simulator after the other, cool as the best ones may be, and some half-assed branding. Sticking a superhero on the side of a store does not make it a superhero store. In some ways they could improve by keeping Potter and Simpsons and just starting the rest over. Though clearly the park is doing OK, pretty crowded in the off-season.

Along those lines, King Kong ride construction in progress looked pretty cool.
