While in Florida - Busch Gardens or Universal Studios?

Which theme park is better?  I am having a hard time deciding how to spend new years night.

Both parks have a new years eve party... Universal does have the Capitol one bowl party, but the rides at Busch Gardens look like more fun.  Has anyone been to both of them?

Thanks,

Busch Gardens does have better rides but the action will be in O Town! There's a huge parade downtown (I think on Saturday) and Universal is always rocking on New Year's Eve.  I live about 2 minutes from Universal so we always just throw the lawnchairs out in the driveway and watch the fireworks from home.

Good luck in whatever you chose.  Weather is lousy now but hopefully it'll get better by next week.

Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure.

Hands down, no contest.

Better rides, Better atmosphere, better restaurants, better everything, and the party on City Walk for New Year's should be tremendous.
