    Epcot at 4 is blasphemous. The first 3 are super close 1. Epcot 2. Hollywood Studios 3. Magic Kingdom 4. Animal Kingdom. (It’s a great park, but compared to the other 3, it’s lacking a bit. I’m hoping the renovations that they’re about to start will help a lot.)

    Personal Ranking 13) Super Silly FunLand - just a kids section 12) 4D Theater - a 4D attraction in a park filled with better ones 11) Secret Life of Pets - very slow, good for kids, but thrill seekers won’t like it 10) Flight of the Hippogriff - I hate roller coasters, but objectively this is too short 9) Minion Mayhem - Great, but the wide room with visible seating takes away from the immersion 8) Waterworld - Depends on how good the current actors are, but it’s a fun time 7) Revenge of the Mummy - dark lighting and backwards motion helps this coaster be more intense 6) Bowser’s Challenge - Great ride, but not worth a 3 hour wait 5) The Simpsons - Very fun, but is beaten by the rest of the list 4) Studio Tour - Depends on when you go, but it’s a classic attraction with fun moments 3) Transformers The Ride - Huge Transformers fan, and the fact that this ride actually moves helps with immersion 2) Jurassic World - Reskin of JP, a scary, but classic ride 1) Forbidden Journey - The line moves VERY fast, especially approaching closing time, and it actually feels like you’re flying

    The video features a narrator whose frequent changes in vocal inflections prove to be quite distracting. The narrator's voice often fluctuates in pitch and tone without clear reasons, creating an inconsistent listening experience. These abrupt changes can make it difficult to follow the content, as they draw undue attention to the delivery rather than the message itself. The inconsistent inflections might also suggest a lack of confidence or over-rehearsal, further detracting from the video's overall quality. For a more engaging and professional presentation, the narrator should aim for smoother transitions and a more steady, natural flow in their speech.

    If both of your 10 year plans end up more or less being correct, I think it’s safe to say at this point that from now on, Universal will get the vast majority of our time on future Orlando trips. My 2025-2026 family trip is still currently planned to be 3 days at each; Pokemon & Zelda haven’t been confirmed yet (latest rumors are that Universal might actually want to keep Springfield as long as possible), and we’ll see if Epic Universe really does force Disney to step up their game to once again win people over (maybe we’ll get some big announcements at D23?). But based on how quickly they’ve managed to build Epic Universe & the current rumors at the moment, I would say Universal definitely has the upper hand, ESPECIALLY if the Pokémon & Zelda rumors turn out to be true.

    Honestly, after visiting Animal Kingdom recently, I have to say that I enjoyed Dinosaur leagues over Expedition Everest. Maybe it's just my bias because it's my favorite ride ever made, but not only is it very thrilling and fun from beginning to end with impeccable pacing, the animatronics, even if they don't always work right, are always super impressive and cool. I also think the theme and tone of both the ride and queue are super cool, especially once you go underground. Honestly, as good as Everest is, I think the yeti is really bad because not only does he not move at all, most of the time he's so far away that you don't get a good sense of how big he actually is. It's still a good ride, but I think it's got way bigger flaws.

      Shows are important because it gives people something else to do, usually in a sit-down area, hopefully in an enclosed building to get out of the sun so guests can rest. It also takes up about 20-40 minutes which helps with wait times of other attractions. Bottomline, it increases capacity which is good.

    12. Silly Swirly - Pretty Much what you said. Its fine, but at the end of the day, it's just a Dumbo clone. 11. The Simpsons Ride - Ride Facade is charming, but the jokes can be hit or miss and, honestly, I never liked how the ride treats the family themselves. 10. Ollivaders - Very unique and charming, but it is too short and simple. 9. Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown - At the end of the day, its just one little supplement to the Key Challenges and the land itself. Regardless, its still fun. 8. Dreamworks Theater featuring Kung Fu Panda - Facade with the posters in the queue is great. Apart from that, it's just ok, but the climax in the Spirit Realm is cool. 7. Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem - Theming and Facade are admittedly flawed, but the ride itself is fun and has a nice sense of heart. 6. Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge - May rely too much on screens and it may be slow for a Mario Kart ride, but otherwise it's really fun and has some of the best theming in the park. 5. Transformers the Ride - Harry Potter and the Studio Tour may be the better rides, but Transformers is my favorite "Simulator" in the park. 4. Studio Tour - A landmark in the world of both Theme Parks and Film History. 3. Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash - Nicely themed and fun Classic-style dark ride. 2. Waterworld - Great Show filled with Great action and Water 1. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - Best Ride Ever Indeed, at least Universal Ride Haven't ridden Mummy or JW yet
