Islands of Adventure 25th Anniversary

This is so cool

That's exactly the sort of thing they should reproduce for the anniversary.

The wording of the post itself made me think it was a park ticket from 1999, which reminded me of some videos I've seen recently of people using old E-Ticket style entrance tickets to get into modern Walt Disney World because there was no expiration date on those. While it was cool that they legitimately accepted it as park admission, it was equally painful to watch that incredibly cool keepsake get tossed away.

Anyways, that IoA Passport is real neat and I'd love to see a modern version with Velocicoaster and Hagrids and everything added to it. That'd be a cheap but fun way to celebrate the anniversary.

Looks like the crowds showed up for the Anniversary yesterday and today. A huge mob waiting to get in the gates this morning (photos on Orlando Informer) . Touring Plans indicated fairly long ride lines yesterday... The people have spoken (with their wallets), the most important way. Too bad Universal didn't do more to celebrate. Meanwhile, WDW, except Epcot, was very slow for the holiday weekend.

Just got around to watching this, and it's an absolute goldmine. What a time capsule.
