You're looking at themes and not actual content. Six Flags features rides themed to childrens characters (DC Comics) and slaps them on giant thrill machines.2/5 of the lands in Uni’s second park had a theme designed specifically to appeal to young children. These weren’t afterthoughts or mini-lands. The fact that those areas featured rides young children couldn’t ride was a design problem - unless one wants to argue that Cat in the Hat was aimed at tweens. The other areas in IoA, though broader in thier appeal, also featured themes of particular interest to young children. I just find the idea that IoA skews older then EPCOT or AK or MGM very questionable.
I also question the idea that in 1999 kids were chomping at the bit for Dudley Do Right and Popeye.
