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.
