Islands of Adventure is the newest Universal Studio theme park and boasts that it is like 5 theme parks in one. Islands of Adventure is very popular with teens, because it had the "Dueling Dragons,” the world’s first inverted, dueling roller coasters and parents with young kids for it's interactive Dr. Suess play area.
Bush Gardens Tampa is a close second for rides especially if you like old- fashioned fast roller coasters.

There are quite a few roller coasters and fast rides at Busch Gardens, including the Gwazi (100mph), Kumba (seven inversions), and the relatively new Montu (3.85 Gs).
Islands of Adventure has The Hulk which is just so smooth - I went on it 10 times one time - as well as the leg-dangling Dueling Dragons. The Spiderman ride is pretty cool. They also have the Jurassic Park River Ride which is fun. The wait times are generally not bad, even in the summer.
The rest of your list will contain more walking than riding.
Disneyworld is where you take kids, and Universal Studios, frankly, is pretty boring these days. The last two times I've been there, the Mummy ride, the shining star of the park, has been broken.

Take your picture with the girls in the hoop skirts, then head over to the ride section.
You'll thank me later.
Also, for ride information ... one can't beat RCDB http://www.rcdb.com/

Kraken is AWESOME. I remember that right before the park closed we rode it like 10 times in a row.

Journey to Atlantis is great as well.

The thing is that while Sea World is obviously not ride-heavy, the rides it has are excellent. It's one of the parks I consistently enjoy the most.

I live in FL and have frequented these parks over the years as they add new features. I think you are going to have the largest selection of fast rides at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, but Islands of Adventure is also really fun. There are quite a few roller coasters and fast rides at Busch Gardens, including the Gwazi (100mph), Kumba (seven inversions), and the relatively new Montu (3.85 Gs).

And not even The Mummy ride is that great. If it's the same they have in LA, it's totally overrated.

I actually think Sea World has awesome rides. I think it's my favorite Florida park that isn't Disney. It strikes a good balance between rides and shows so it's good for all interests. Kraken is AWESOME. I remember that right before the park closed we rode it like 10 times in a row.
Journey to Atlantis is great as well.
The thing is that while Sea World is obviously not ride-heavy, the rides it has are excellent. It's one of the parks I consistently enjoy the most.
