This one always confuses me. People go on and on about how "scary" the dark rides at Disney are. We went to US once, talk about scary. Jaws, Twister, Terminater.....MY kids love everything Disney but would be scared of most of that stuff. IOA is almost all roller coasters. Even if your oldest is brave I doubt they would be tall enough for most of the mega-coasters there. Our family LOVES Seaworld. We are all animal lovers. It is not the place for thrill junkies though.
IMO, Dinosaur is worse than anything at Universal. And for the record, "IOA is almost all roller coasters" is very false. There's only three coasters (not counting the Unicorn), out of over a dozen attractions. That seems to be the biggest misconception of the park for people who haven't been there. It's not Six Flags or Busch Gardens. They don't specialize in coasters. They just happen to have 3, and 2 of them are apart of the same attraction. It is true that most of the rides are thrill rides, however there is still plenty for kids to see and do.
SeaWorld may not be packed with thrill rides, there's only 3 rides total, but they all just happen to be thrill rides. Considering the character of the rest of the park... go figure. Not only do they need to build more rides in general, but they need to be non-thrill rides.
