I don't know. I always loved Universal because I like coasters and things like that. But when people visited and we took them to Universal (even coaster lovers) I always got the same two comments.
"Well we are NOT in Disney"
"Theming is so not Disney-like"
So while it was a great park, the actual theme people did not think came close to Disney. HP changed that for that one land, but the rest was still the same. Universal realized this and started doing things like with Simpson area. Make everything mesh together better. So they are moving in the right direction now.
