About this listen
Universal Studios never really wanted to get into the theme park business. They wanted to be the anti-Disney. But when forced to do so, they did it in a big way. Despite the fits and starts of multiple owners, the parks have finally gained the momentum to mount a serious challenge to the Walt Disney Company. How did this happen? Who made it happen? What does this mean for the theme park industry? In Universal Versus Disney, his newest work to investigate the histories of America's favorite theme parks, seasoned Disney-author Sam Gennawey has thoroughly researched how Universal Studios shook up the multi-billion dollar theme park industry, one so long dominated by Walt Disney and his legacy.

A nice history of universal
I found this one really interesting as it goes right into the history of Universal Studios and it’s Hollywood and Florida parks. Don’t go in expecting much on Disney though, very little ‘VS’ goes on here. Also the narrator doesn’t pronounce some of the ip words correctly.

Universal story
Although I enjoyed the book, this is more a history of Universal than about the rivalry with Disney. In fact they are mentioned only fleetingly throughout. Still enjoyed the story of the rise of Universal theme parks in Florida in particular.

Not much about Disney but loads on Universal
Small amount on the rivalry between Disney & Universal. Most of the book covers the history of Universal's theme parks with some really good information on how the parks evolved along with rides etc
