The Universal & Disney war is one of the most fascinating things in the theme park industry, & I have a major project coming soon on this topic that you're not gonna wanna miss! Thank you all for the incredible support this channel has been getting recently! Let's Get To 5k subs! I also tried a new way of mixing audio for the background music in this video. Let me know if it was any better than usual.

[@vikvondoom]

In the end the one who wins this war is us. The more these two clash, the more amazing rides, areas, parks, etc. we get to experience.

It’s four parks for universal if you include volcano bay. And anyone who has ever been to volcano bay for sure includes it as a separate theme park. It’s amazing. 110% worth every single cost.

@@Loopingthrills I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I just love volcano bay. The creative theming that went into that alone is wonderful. First time I was there I thought “oh man, Disney’s got no idea what theming is really all about”. They’re not the only one who can be creative. And universal is taking over the world. I’m seeing more and more info coming out about the kids park in Texas, and the park in England.

[@user-yx4ym8fw3z]

Yeah the super secret plan this is well documented and discussed by the company and general public for the last several decades.

[@VerbilKint]

There was a huge backlash from Disney fans when they dropped Fast Pass to implement Genie. A lot of people that already stretch their dollar as far as they could to even get to the park feel abandoned. If Universal was to implement something like Fast Pass, that would be a nail in the coffin. I've heard rumors of a virtual queue which is cool. But make it exactly like Fast Pass and really send it home that USO cares about their guests more than Disney.

[@sophies6957]

I live in Southern California. I have visited both Disneyland and Universal. Universal is 💯 better in all areas. The Only rides that I found were worth it at Disney was Star Wars ( kind of ) and Indiana Jones. Going back this summer to Universal ❤

[@thesuperamazingalex810]

The epic theme-park battle between Disney and Universal will be remembered.

[@MrRobarino]

Why does one have to be destroyed for the other to succeed? I enjoy both Universal and Disney parks, why don't you?

[@Loopingthrills]

I think if Disney was coming back with great new additions each year that would be good competition. Since Disney has been practically ignoring the parks though, Universal is beginning to win over them.

[@boltz8113]

Universal is already better than Disney, I HATE Disney, am I the only one one?

[@The_Nerdo]

I wouldn't say I hate Disney I just don't like the mid rides

[@JFrombaugh]

For many parents who are in their 20s & 30s right now, if the choice comes down to paying an arm & a leg to take their kids on a traditional Disney World vacation with all the bells & whistles versus paying a more reasonable price to stay at a Universal hotel & go on rides like Hagrid's, Donkey Kong, Starfall Racers...yeah, I think many of them are going to choose the latter. If Disney can't prove to this new generation of parents & kids that their parks are worth the extra cost & advance planning needed versus Universal, then it's gonna be a tough sell for those that aren't hardcore Disney IP fans.

[@tarazieminek1947]

I don't think that Universal will be cheaper when this opens. Especially if you get Express passes

[@yourfavoritetop4s509]

Was fortunate enough to have season passes to Universal during covid. Place kicks ass, do think you should be able to enjoy both places. The best coaster in Florida is in Tampa anyways

[@SlcJohnD]

About 19-20 yrs ago I went to Florida's Universal. It was fantastic. Been to Disney.. boring. No comparison.

[@ForRJ]

Epic Universe will definitely help, taking over Disney? Disney will always have the advantage of having more attractions for families, and that makes a big difference when guests are planning to visit, Nintendo world will help but still Universal will be more for adults.

[@ericbus3457]

Exactly. They need Epic to keep up on that demographic. For thrill seekers and screen-ride lovers, universal is already the place to be.

[@jpneal10]

Ditto. Until your kids are 10+ it’s hard to beat Disney. I think by Universal adding another park it’ll drive competition in the fact that with three parks it’ll be easier to do a whole week of universal versus hopping to Disney for a couple of days.

[@jaykay1899]

I think thats a good thing though. It creates a difference. Disney is for families and children, and Universal is where the big kids go. It seems as if they're focusing on more child based attractions as well so younger kids dont feel completely left out

[@shadowofthestarsdespair]

I only like epcot has some fun rides but mostly i just go for the food so i only go ever few years i like rollacoasters with loops and drops and more thrill for this reason i spend most of my theme park fun at busch gardens/ seaworld universal once a year cus its pricey like disney but less so and i get more value for what i like

[@santakosoundsystem7542]

It won't destroy anything. Most people will keep going to both Disney and Universal. In fact, both benefit from the investment in the competing parks, as Orlando becomes a more attractive destination for more potential customers.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

But it will. People will start going to one more than the other and that one won't be Disney if they can't keep up, which so far they can't.

[@kalzium8857]

I think Universal is in a good spot to overtake Disney at Florida. Ten years ago it was unthinkable. I think it is more of a weakness of Disney than Universal sudden genius. Disneys first mistake was go all in on streaming. Disney+ was a mistake. Streaming has put their company at risk financially. Bob Iger seems to sacrifice all parts of his company to prop up his streaming service. Disneys second problem is their political stuff. Disney has turned "woke" for the lack of a better word. Disney has an activist problem. Disney implies that a large part of its costumers are bad people. But Disney is more than happy to work with china. Chinese dictators are fine people, but Disney draws the line at conservative americans? The parks are now there to prop up the rest of the company. They are overpriced and overcrowded. New attractions are more advertisment billboards for their latest Disney+ product than a geniune experience. Instead of solving the crowd issue, they try to capitalize on it.

[@CrazyCatMom24]

Disney+ is better than other streamimg services. No paying extra for ads shit

[@Everyday_Therapy]

I feel like this is a little dramatic. Overtake? Destroy? Calm down. It’s more like compete. As someone who goes to both parks annually I go to Disney for two weeks and universal for three days. Epic universe will make it a week long trip.

[@louisianimal24]

It’s not Disney vs. Universal. It’s their respective fanbases that are clashing. I don’t see why people can’t enjoy both. (Although I don’t agree with Disney overpricing everything they offer)

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

Their fan Bases aren't the ones building new parks and attractions to attract visitors. It's the two theme park corporations that are going head to head. The Fans are just spectators watching the show.

[@yesorlando05]

As someone who attended Disney World most years between 1977 when I was 12 years old until 2016 and Universal 2002-present, I 100% agree with you. While Disney has been raising prices astronomically, changing rides and movies that have been loved by people of all races for generations, and foolishly delving into politics and lecturing fans (Disney's core problem that no one wants to talk about), Universal has simply stuck to providing everyone with a quality product that brings all people together free of political dogma. Since Disney refuses to change back to simply selling us their services and products, their market share has dwindled and Universal is wisely taking advantage of it. Ride for ride and dollar for dollar (IMO), Universal is already a better value for families. When Epic Universe is finished, it will be the best theme park ever built. That will be Disney's death nail. Their self righteous arrogance will kill them. The ONLY hope that Disney has is that Disney Shareholders/Board of Directors completely gut middle and upper management. The entire culture that exists at the moment at Disney has to be totally eliminated. Even then, it will take a long time for Disney to win back fans (including my family and me), a company that, for now, very openly supports the sexualization of children. The trust has been severed and will not soon be healed. I'm just wrapping up an Orlando trip to Universal/SeaWorld and my whole family and I will be visiting Epic Universal in October 2025. Disney will soon reap what it has sown and Universal (and us) will benefit from it. Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@BC-ci7cm]

lmao maybe you haven't seen UO ticket prices its the same..... "Universal is already a better value for families" hmm weird most family's with you anger kids can't do majority of rides together. The only self righteous arrogance is this post lmao. You do realize these two resorts are not in competition with each other, Universal is after family with teens and young adults, Disney is after entire families who can do things together from grandma to a toddler. You said Disney was "changing rides and movies that have been loved by people of all races for generations" is this your first time at Universal? they replace literally almost every ride Avery 10-12 years, twister, jaws, back to the future, nickelodeon studios,. blue man group, Disaster!, wet and wild, Kong frontation, jimmy neutron, Dragon Challenge, Shrek 4-D, Poseidon's Fury, FEAR FACTOR LIVE, idk I could go on forever, generally speaking nearly everything in Magic kingdom s the same since I was a kid. Sure Disney refreshes some ride but staples of the park have not changed. ITs only Hollywood Studios that has been fully revamped since its original opening. MK had alone had 5 million more visitors than UO. For most people UO is a one and done park, it's why most people only leave a day orb two for or if even go at all. I've also worked for corporate for both companies, I can tell you no one I ever worked with was even pationate about the brand unlike when I worked at Disney.

[@eddyvaldes]

A waste of time to think that one theme park will bring down the number one vacation destination in the world. I admit that Epic Universe looks incredible and I'm sure we'll be an amazing theme park and it may very well affect Disney with some lost of attendance revenue. But to think it's going to destroy us foolish. Disney has over 100 years with 4 to 5 generations of family who have admired it. Disney theme parks are the gold standard around the world and continue to be the most visited theme parks on Earth. The difference between Universal and Disney is that Disney is a loved company. Not very many companies in this world are loved. Yes, there are ups and downs throughout the years just like any company but Disney is loved. It's movies are loved, it's theme parks are loved, it's music is loved. Not many companies are as lucky as Disney.

[@rb5078]

Universal Studios was founded in 1912 and opened to the public in 1915 with their Studio Tour. It officially opened as a theme park in 1964. Just pointing out Universal’s long history. Maybe it’s not as beloved as Disney to a lot of people, but it’s always been my favorite movie studio and my favorite theme park. In the end, the competition is great for us because we get bigger and better theme parks out of it.

I swear all these KZbinr love drama hyping up this fake competition. Disney is not even after the same market share as universal. Universal marketing to families with teens, and young adults. Disney is after entire familys having rides they can all do together (generations)n and is after the emotions. This is from a marketing, ride development and IP used in the parks. There is little to absolutely nothing for a kid under 5 todo at UOR period, and the things they have only interest younger kids and not the whole family. This is done intentionally. Not to mention form a technology perspective UOR is so behind, they still have will call, paper fast pass and disability services, photos that don't auto sync to you r account, they are very very behind, not to mention team members are generally just not pleasant . They have more than just building Im so sick of this KZbinr non sense sensationalizing the shit out of this.
