I like Disney, but love coasters. What theme park should I visit?

You must not miss UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE.
Buy a Day-Hopper pass for BOTH PARKS. It is worth it.
It is a world-class theme park which is much more fun than Disney in my opinion. Islands of Adventure is made for "big kids" while Disney is made for toddlers.
Rides you must not miss while at Universal :
- Hulk (One of the sickest coasters ever)
- Spiderman (now updated!)
- The Simpsons (replaced Back to the Future : The Ride. Excellent.)
- Ripsaw Falls (get wet!)
- Dragon Challenge (Formerly Dueling Dragons) Inverted Coaster
- Harry Potter (WOW!!!) (Inverted 3D Super IMAX mind bending coaster thing)
- Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket (Scary as hell coaster)
- Revenge of the Mummy (Scary coaster)
- Doctor Doom Fear Fall. Short Ride so take the single-rider line if you can)
A good place to eat there for fast food is a 50's style burger & shake place. I forget the name but it has all these 50's era cars parked in front. Fast food as I said, but yummy.
Also, Universal is doing a "Halloween Nights" thing again which I have never been to but heard very good things about. It includes designs and features from Rob Zombie.
Have fun!
