When I went on this experience last, the guide Taylor made one of the best meta-jokes I’ve ever heard. When they shone the UV light on the wall and found the hidden writings, he said “Look! A hidden message! Written... in English... conveniently.” I’d been on it several times and not heard that, but that last time they made that joke and I couldn’t stop giggling through the rest of the show

Disney wisely decided against doing the Haunted Mansion as a walkthrough attraction because they feared that guests would “linger” too long. Also, the “doombuggys” control where the rider’s attention is focused so Disney can concentrate all the best effects in one place during each scene. Poseidon’s Fury should have been a boat ride.

corey mason, so did I. I can't remember where I saw something like this but it brought back the earliest memories of visiting a theme park. I saw something similar when I was a kid and it also had a host who did live performances in the room with the guests. I think it was about ancient Mexican/Mayan history and we had to walk through a massive life size temple but I know it was not at a Disney park. I went to Universal Orlando last month and this attraction brought back a few of my oldest vacation memories. This memory was probably from one of the very first family vacations I could remember!

One time, years ago, my wife let our the worst fart of her life towards the end of the queue for this. It was completely enclosed, far away from the entrance. Everyone in that room was visually disturbed. My wife was laughing hysterically, which everyone of course noticed. So who are they going to blame, my small not even 6 ft wife, or the big 6 ft 3 fatty next to her. ME OF COURSE!! People were pointing at me in absolute disgust. I just hope the little girl at ass height behind my wife recovered, because she took the most damage.

Ironically, I've heard that the water vortex tunnel is actually the thing keeping Poseidon's Fury together, in more ways than one. Not only is it the star effect of the show, but it may actually be too expensive to remove from the area and too delicate to build a new attraction around. They wanted the latest tech for what they believed would be a headliner attraction, and that tech may actually have turned into an anchor for an old but awesome classic attraction.

I saw the Goddard version of this attraction in 2012 and loved it. Was it state of the art? Definitely not, but the cheesy script and acting was amusing, Taylor having a conversation with the obviously pre-recorded video of Darkenon was hilariously awkward, the musical score was gorgeous, and the original special effects still worked like a charm. That Oracle Door and water tunnel were amazing, and the room changing around me before my eyes was magical. My glasses fogging up while I stayed dry while walking through the tunnel added to the fantasy of the attraction. Definitely well worth the 20 minutes it took to experience.

This is the only Lost continat attraction around i remember when it was a Little Bigger and had the flying unicorn and dueling dragons and eigth voyage of Sinbad

A couple times elements didn't work but last time I went, the water tunnel was operational, all the lasers worked, everything was exactly like it was back then and the magic was back for me. This was in 2017 I think. I hope this ride gets the love it deserves.

I went on this when i was younger, and my dad had left his sunglasses in a room as we started to move on and I literally cried because I was so worried the doors would close and he'd be stuck inside the room we had just left and that is quite literally the only thing that made an impression on me about this ride

I vividly remember asking my parents to go on this attraction when we went back in 2016 and my dads response was “I’m not walking through no water tunnel again” , now I know why

Going over from the UK i love the use of its effects, especially using the big blinder to cause peoples eyes to adjust, meaning they wont see the walls moving up. A lot of people say it should be a boat ride, or that it should be a roller coaster or stuff like that but i personally like the change of pace from all of the other rides. there are more than enough rollercoasters and boat rides in Orlando, let alone in the world, and there are just so few fully immersive rides like this one is. Realistically, i would call it a promenade theatre show since it involves you walking between different specially built sets to tell the story (which is basically the definition of a promenade show) and at the end of the day, promenade shows simply aren't for everyone. the majority of negative reviews i have seen are never about the experience itself but people complaining that they had to walk around. To be honest i could right a full 2 page review on this show. in fact i did. i had to write a review on a show to get into my university (as a lighting technician) and i chose this ride as it has really stuck with me. honestly the only thing i even think is comparable for this type of attraction is the Alton Towers dungeons but even on that the boat ride to me just feels a bit out of place with nothing much happening of any relevance. If this were to go i would be very sad, to put it simply. especially if they removed the expanding room effect.

I love Poseidon’s Fury so much! 🔱 All of the Lost Continent has some of the most beautiful and immersive theming. I also really enjoy special effects shows like this, they’re always a nice break from rides and… screens.

I will admit, I grew up with this attraction with the second one and I loved this very much. Sure it's not for everybody, but it was my favorite attraction.

I was there in 2012 and I thought it was kinda cool. The good ole days when dragons challenge was still there.

Good times!

When I went through Poseidon's Fury for the first time last year, I definitely did wish that it lived up to the fantastically impressive exterior. The water vortex was very close, though. I hope they think to redo it on less of a time & budget crunch.

This needs to remain open for all time, it's still an incredible experience and unique.

I feel like I am part of a small sub section who is head over heels in love with this attraction. My sister and I went on it kind of as a joke, but I was taken aback by its very distinct late 90s Universal charm. The scene where the room lifts to reveal the water stage blew me away ( I think I may have gasped "Holy shit" a bit too loud for being at a family park) and the end battle is just hilarious, cheesy and such top notch camp. I make a point to visit every time I go to Universal. It is such stupid fun.

If they merge lost continent with HP world , they should just retheme this ride to a Tri Wizard Tournament /underwater Black Lake scene challenge . Seems like it still has potential 😊

This land and attraction was by far my favorite in Island of Adventure. The set is incredible.

This ride definitely surprised me. I went to Universal in September of 2019, and didn't even know it existed until I got a map on day 1. My family went on one of the walkthroughs, and now I anxiously await for when I return with my friends in June to hopefully go on this journey with them. I was definitely a fan.

When my friends and I first saw this place, I wasn't even sure it was an attraction, because we didn't see anyone going in. But we managed to find the entrance and decided to give it a shot, having utterly no idea what to expect. Was it a ride? Was it a show? Who knows! It was probably one of the highlights of our trip because it was the most ridiculously cheesy thing I had ever seen. It felt super dated but we were impressed with the effects. And the fact it wasn't based on any movie or IP just kinda' made it this weird little oddball thing. I recommend it to all of my friends who go to Universal because it's such a weird surprise.

I had several heated emails with Goddard over his changes to the storyline. Recycling the final battle in Masters of the Universe and using his own wife as the Oracle cheapened the attraction. Obviously, he didn't agree, lol.

@@alexmarcus7846 I only emailed him after I went through his redo of the attraction. This was in the days before social media, and I have no idea how I got his email. I honestly never expected an answer, but when I did, I dug my heels in and let him have it. Unfortunately, it would later come to light that he "liked" kids a little TOO much. 😉👍

I haven’t gone to universal or islands of adventure since I was 5. But I do remember when we went 8 fell asleep in my stroller and when I woke up my family was pushing me down the water vortex tunnel. I didn’t know where the hell I was and I seriously thought I was going to another dimension. But when I finally saw the show I thought it was the coolest thing ever!

I happen to love Poseidon. After 3 visits Universal I finally experienced it. I had no idea it was there. I love the fountain too.

I haven't been on these videos in a hot minute but as soon as I heard the voiceover a huge smile broke out on my face. What a great channel.

I love The Lost Continent, and thank you so much for doing this video. Jeremy Irons 👍🏻👍🏻

This show is amazing. It's the best experience at islands (and I have been on all the potter rides). The finally is simply breathtaking. There is simply nothing like it in the world. While yes, it does need a refurbishment badly, it's simply breathtaking from the time you see the exterior to the very end.

It’s weird how you forget something even existed until your reminded. I’ve seen this show a few times and had a vivid flashback/memories once I watched this. Damn your channel is good. Defunctland is one of my favorites and I’m happy I have another now too.

"Guest would enter the fabulously chilly air conditioned queue..." I felt that

I remember when they did a haunted house for hhn with those hard hats with lights that changed when you walked thru the house.

A part of Disney's old Pleasure Island. I never got to go, but just know it was a hilarious, interactive experience themed to an old explorer's hangout.

It was and still is dear to my heart!!! I remember being a kid and freaking loving it!! Then I came back and I think the nostalgia made it easy to keep loving it!

Oh I love this attraction, when it opened it was out of this world, great video as always Sam, thank you

Went there last week for the first time and this ride made me full on cry with laughter Its so cheesy that it goes full circle and becomes incredible again

OMG I remember this! I totally forgot about it. I remember being really confused as a kid haha. The outside queue area was awesome, though!

Sounds like a case where the people behind the attraction were too into the experience and didn't put themselves into the shoes of the people who were paying to see it. A short video explaining everything, to include that this is a special effects show, not a ride in a very generic room would have made it work. "This is the story of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and this is his story, you will be teleported...Twice". People are simple creatures, but if they know what to look for ahead of time, then things make a lot more sense to them. I spent four years as a flight instructor and from this I have learned to put myself in other people's positions. I found that if I did that, and SHUT MY MOUTH when they were trying to perform a maneuver with the airplane then they did far better.

Been going to the park since it opened. The land looks amazing and its actually nice to walk through. Just wish they would add a top attraction to it.

This was one of my favorite rides as a kid! So great to see you covering it! :D

Agree. Love this attraction. And it is a gorgeous facade that almost got better as it’s become sun faded.

This is my favorite attraction at islands. Terror mines was a fun use of this for a haunted house.

Actually went there in October and while it wasn’t thrilling it wasn’t that bad. It was a nice relief from the heat as it was still incredibly hot in October. There was NO line. I do agree it would’ve been better as a ride but overall was a nice reprieve from the heat.

I've visited this attraction twice: Once when Poseidon was the villain (2004) and a little over 2 years ago when Darkinon was the villain (2017). While I still loved it, I noticed things in both versions that could've done better. Ultimately, I prefer the first version because it felt like a mythological battle between gods while the second version felt like I just watched a really bad superhero movie (Which was funny, I'd watched Masters of the Universe before seeing it the second time so I noticed how similar things looked to that film XD).

So glad you did this vid. I "experienced" this attraction on day 3 of a 5 day, 5 parks vacation in 2016. This was the only ride break down we witnessed during that excruciatingly humid July visit. The door into the final chamber malfunctioned and didn't open. Our guide excused himself and disappeared for what seemed like several minutes. We all stood there, with the water tunnel still roaring behind us, making the room feel particularly dank, as we nervously waited for something to happen. Suddenly an emergency light clicked to our right, illuminating an exit door. A voice over the PA system advised us to use it as our way out. That was it, no apology, no banter with the now missing guide, nothing. It was a bit jarring to suddenly stumble back out into the Florida sun and heat, mid-experience. Needless to say it set the tone for the for the rest of our stay at Universal and I was rather happy to find myself back in the Magic Kingdom the following day. With your vid I finally got to see not just how the ride might have ended but also how it was intended to originally be experienced. Thanks!

I used to work at universal and I AM SO EXCITED for this video!

Personally, I’ve always thought it was such a weird and corny addition to the land. Really random. I can see it being nostalgic for some though. The water tunnel is very impressive and memorable.

Expedition Theme Park just realized this was 30 minutes long ... at the end of the video😂 great work and video as always kept me interested the whole time

As someone who lives in Orlando, I've been to all the parks many times. The only real problem with this attraction is not what is mentioned here, but rather, the actual physical location of this gorgeous and awesome attraction. You have to experience it to appreciate it, and this video doesn't even remotely do it justice. When guests are walking around the park, they are inclined to walk right past Poseidon's Fury, because it doesn't really stand out...it's off to one side. Indeed, for years, I never noticed it! But if you actually walk into it, the overall setting is STUNNING! It's so cool and massive. The experience is incredible, and the indoor fire and water display is amazing. This is my favorite attraction. If Universal could open up the area more so it stands out, or force people to walk into it, the attendance would probably double.

It’s a ride that I’ve learn to love and it’s now one of my favorites in the park
