Verdict

The call

My Disney Experience and Six Flags both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 48% of My Disney Experience's written reviews are positive against 9% of Six Flags's. My Disney Experience also leads on chart position (#1 vs #62) and ratings volume (3.1M vs 171K). Six Flags's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
