WEAKNESSESTimeliness
Universal Orlando has created apps that enhance the Social Media experience, however the app that was created for the annual Mardi Gras event did not come to be until the final night of this year’s event
Does not have history and nostalgia like Walt Disney World and their mouse mascot, Mickey Mouse
35 attractions have closed down since the park opened in 1990
Lacks longevity and consistency due to its updateable and “hipper” nature
OPPORTUNITIESGreen is Universal Campaign
Green is Universal is a company-wide initiative to improve environmental efficiency
Company should put a greater emphasis on this initiative - improves goodwill among community
YouTubeCompany should utilize YouTube to enhance “behind the scenes” experiences
Would allow fans to feel like they have insider information about the parks
