Are we still talking about Universal Studios Hollywood? Well if we are, I'll proffer my $0.02.

I enjoy Universal Studios, albeit in a different (not superior nor inferior, different) vein than that of Disney Resorts (CA, FL, Paris). Comparisons of some empiricals like prices, etc. are totally fair of course, but there are marked differences as well. Apples vs. Oranges, Apricots vs. Mangoes.

The larger issue at hand for me is I always feel incredibly grateful in SoCal, something for everyone in terms of Themed Parks, and mostly great weather to enjoy it in. Disneyland Resort, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, and Six Flags Magic Mountain come to mind, all within an hour or two on a mostly leisurely drive. Sure there are some things to be desired at some of these places, but there are surely some to be enjoyed as well. No place is perfect -- you know what they say about trying to please everyone.

I enjoy them all, and more importantly, I enjoy the fact that those of us in the general Southern California area have them as accessible choices.

Anyway, just offering some (hopefully) mature, thoughtful and respectful (thanks, Gn2Dlnd) balance on this Universal Studios Hwood commentary.
