Disney World is better then Universal Studios

ALL VOTERS NOTE THE FOLLOWING: The website glitched and kept me from actually entering the previous round. Fortunately, I was able to submit my case in the comment section (which you're free to read below) within the actual time limit (as can be proven by post I set as a marker and my opponent's acknowledgment). So now, all that is necessary is that I respond to the argument my opponent made in the comments section. I'll quote for those who don't have the patience to find it. ============================= PRO's ROUND 3 Rebuttal QUOTED Below| ============================= "O sorry I didn't see the comment Disney World more theme then just Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan and those other characters. They have different theme park with different worlds, with different themes, they try to bring you into these world by reacting the story of each famous Disney. Disney World rides are not a joke just because they don;t have flips and wild turns there all for the family and enjoyable. If those ride are a joke than why do 44,000 people visit per day. Animal Kingdom is not just a park for seeing animals its also a park of fun thrilling rides some for the older and younger and amazing shows. If Universal Studios is the originally being a filmed focused park as my opponent say, then why is Universal Studios ranked sixth in the mosted visited park charts o but look M. G. M which is ranked forth. O and Epcot is not just a site seeing theme park is also a theme park with many ride and fun such as Test Track, Mission Space, etc. My opponent say the Universal Studios has more theme to offer but I know he is wrong. Disney World is one place that is all about different themes and have tons of family fun for everyone." =============================================================================== MY ROUND 3 REBUTTAL =============================================================================== First, my opponent still attempts to maintain the theme argument by suggesting that Disney has more themes than just Donald Duck, Peter Pan, and the like (hence acknowledging that themes like these alone aren't good enough), but as I've already shown in round 2. Things like "animals" from space kingdom or the nations in Epcot are mostly bland and uninteresting as they really don't fall under a theme created for the purpose of entertainment. On the other hand and as I've suggested before, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Dr. Seus, Marvel (including its flagship character, Spider-Man), Popeye, Terminator, the Mummy, Jaws, Back to the Future, and many more greatly surpass Disney World in this aspect. Thus, in terms of themes, my argument is much stronger than my opponent's. Second, my opponent does not really address my comparisons between the best Disney rides (also note that he conceded to those rides being the best since he did not address this claim). Basically, he essentially says "nuh uh." Never-the-less, I must point out that the wild turns and flips in the Universal Studios coasters are what truly attract the roller coaster crowd (which on balance, is a large percentage of individuals who go to theme parks and meet the qualifications to ride). Not only that, but as can be seen in the Spider-Man and Jurassic park ride, wild turns and flips were by no means involved. Thus, in terms of which have the better rides, my argument is infinitely superior to my opponent's. As for the 44,000 people per day response, this is utterly meaningless in terms of proving which park has the better rides. Not only that, but as you can see, my opponent provides no source for this claim. Before I continue, allow me to enlighten you with an example. Titanic is known for being the movie with the highest box office gross in history. Even when you factor out such matters as inflation, it is still ranked highly. On the other hand, the reviews it received were far from impressive. Now, in comparison to the classic film "The Godfather" (which for the most part, is unquestionably one of the greatest reviewed films of all time), Titanic made more money in terms of gross, but it is still recognized by the majority as an inferior film. Moral of the story? Don't equate sales to likability. Even assuming that my opponent's Disney World quota is correct, it is simply non sequitur to suggest that Disney World's sales success directly correlates with it's likability. If anything, this can easily be attributed to Disney World being more iconic as well as producing better advertisements. As for Animal Kingdom, my opponent presents a straw man argument through suggesting that I insinuated that there weren't any rides in Animal Kingdom. I said no such thing. Rather, my argument concerned its bland theme (hence being a point which he completely dropped). As for the MGM Universal Studios comparison, the flaws in this argument fall back the flaws presented in the "44,000 people per day" argument which I have just addressed. Thus, you can dismiss it for the same reasons I present above. Once more, my opponent makes a straw man argument by arguing that Epcot is not just a sight seeing park. My argument was that it was MOSTLY (as in not all) a sight seeing part (hence being yet another point which he completely dropped). Finally, my opponent drops my counter argument on the "Tower of Terror" where I show that it has caused heart attacks, thus isn't the kind of ride older individuals need to be riding (contrary to my opponent's point of view). ============================================================================== CLOSING STATEMENTS: ============================================================================== I believe that my opponent and I have exhausted all avenues of the subject at hand. I maintain my position that "Universal Studios is better than Disney World" is correct and that my opponent has failed to demonstrate how his position overcomes the following: 1) Disney has a serious lack variety due to its limited themes, whereas Universal goes from Spider-Man to Harry Potter in terms of what you can be a part of. PRO was never able to establish an argument to truly counter this. The best he could do is give meager examples of Disney World's ATTEMPT at variety, but as I've shown, those attempts are bland and uninteresting in comparison to what Universal has done. 2) For the most part, PRO failed to successfully counter my comparisons between the best rides of Disney World and the best rides of Universal (it should also be noted that he conceded to the rides I picked as being the best since he didn't dispute this claim in round 3). 3) PRO provided no sources for his claim concerning the statistics of Disney World. Furthermore (and not to mention that his argument wasn't brought up until round 3),I was also able to demonstrate how his conclusion based on these so-called statistics was illogical. 4) It turned out that my opponent's responses to my argument concerning MGM and Animal Kingdom were both straw man arguments, hence my opponent missed the claims I supported, hence he dropped them. 5) PRO conceded to my argument concerning the Tower of Terror. Thus, the winner of this debate is clearly the contender. I would like to thank my opponent for the debate and the audience for reading. 'Till next time. ;)
