I've been to most/all of the major theme parks in Florida and in my opinion, Universal Studios (Islands of Adventure) is the best. Disney is too childish, Busch Gardens is too run down and un-exciting, and Sea World isn't action-packed enough. Islands of Adventure at Universal is more mature, has a very modern park and will keep you on the edge of your seat all day. One of my biggest complaints with Busch Gardens is the quality of the rides. When I went, the water raft was out of commission and the rides were more annoying than fun. Such is not the case at IOA. The rides are smooth and use enough technology to ensure they're not just beating the crap out of you. However, it's still pricey like all theme parks nowadays, but that's how it goes.
