QuikQuote: Universal Studios and Disney resorts have already seen signs of recovery, and officials expect the new rides to add momentum.
"We're delighted that the opening of this new ride at the end of June is coinciding with an exceptional first-quarter performance. We're seeing year-over-year increases from every point of origin. At this point, post-9-11, we're extremely happy with the recovery," said Don Skeoch, senior vice president of marketing for Universal Studios. Skeoch said the fact all five rides are opening in a three-month span will be good for everybody involved. "The introduction of all of these new rides ... helps boost attendance and it makes Southern California a more appealing destination. It's good for all of us."
