Universal Orlando or Seaworld Orlando?

READ THE TOPIC HERE!

The reason I say that is because I have been to Universal before! IOA is my second favorite park, and I love all of Universal. My actual question is revisit Universal for Transformers and re-rides or go to Seaworld Orlando for the first time. I am going to Orlando for MLK Day, and I can only go to two parks so either Seaworld or Universal because I am going to Busch undoubtfully. I am going to Fun Spot because it is a, what, tenth of a day? and is right beside Universal and Seaworld. Disney is out of the picture because of too little for too much. So Seaworld or Universal?
 
I would go to Seaworld because it has two great coasters in manta and kraken which are definetly worth having several re-rides and both are better than any of the coasters at IoA IMO. Also, journey to atlantis is really good water ride/coaster. As you haven't been before it is definitely worth going here.
 
If your only going to Sea World for the rides you will not be there long so you could also do Universal.
 
Few rides at Sea World but Kraken and Manta are ace and Journey to Atlantis is very good, it's worth a trip if you've never been.
 
UO will be the better full day. Whether it is IOA or USF they both have a full lineup of E-Tickets.

If you have already been and are just looking for creds...Manta and Kraken are two great B&M's, and JTA is very fun water coaster. MLK day is 6 months away so the Antarctica hype should die down, and SeaWorld offers unique experiences to the area with its marine mammal interactions.

So... flip a coin? Either way you should have a good day.

Fun Spot is literally across the street from UO, and is about 15 minutes from SWO with traffic.
 
I reall like both parks, but I like Universal better than SW. But since you've already been, go to SeaWorld! Like what most people have said, Manta and Kraken are both great B&Ms (Manta is one of my favs), and Journey is also pretty good. Definitely go see Shammy, as well as some other fun sea creatures. And I dunno how good it is, but let's not forget about Empire of the Penguin.
 
You do not go to Seaworld Orlando for the rides.

You go for the wildlife exhibits, etc. If you don't care much for animals - spend the money at Universal.

Fixed!

I've never understood these kinds of topics at all. You can see what's at the parks, you know what you like or don't like, so why are the opinions of a bunch of people on the internet of any relevance whatsoever when it comes to how you're going to spend your day?

There are intangibles when it comes to theme parks that contribute to the overall experience. These things don't translate well to ride lists.
