I agree. Rip Ride Rockit > Space Mountain and Expedition Everst, IMO. Plus I just like the look of Universal better than Disneyland.
+ The Men In Black is 100x better than that Buzz Lightyear ride

I find it amusing how this thread has turned into an amusement park discussion... oh, the perils of an Orlando nationals.

Also, tip: the butterbeer at the Harry Potter theme park is ridiculously sweet. As in, you need a bottle of water to drink with it because it's overwhelming.

Coney Island? I think you are off by a couple states there. Regardless... next year you should plan on the one and only US Air Force Museum, which is right next to the campus and is absolutely amazing.
