The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

[TheCodeMan95]

September 15-28, Lost Continent street show "Modern Mystics in Lost Continent"

I hope it continues after that. We're there the week after and would love to see it.

Took this in the Village Poiter shop. Are these masks new? They look reminiscent of some old friends...

Anyone figure out what modern mystics consists of? Can’t find it anywhere

I believe I have walked past it a few times. I’ll get some video next time. It is much like a busk show you would see in Kings Cross Station at the Wizarding World or on the streets of any major city. The show has a middle eastern inspired sound. The main instrument that stands out is an electric violin because those are rather uncommon. A lot of younger guests come up and dance.

Wasn't sure where exactly to post this but when the time comes and Poseidon's Fury closes down you can still relive the water tunnel endlessly!

This area is such a joke. I can’t comprehend why Uni hasn’t completely destroyed it yet for a new land.

Because we need to ensure SNW is a success first, then we can get Zelda . If Universal has proven anything over the years its that ANY attraction or land can be torn down for something better. Patience my friend, it will happen. Personally I enjoy the theming in the area and Mythos a bunch, plus I loved Sinbad as a kid. Of the 10 years of going to Universal though I sadly say that I have never done Posidon’s Fury so that’s my #1 goal this upcoming April haha.

Ditto! That, Pteradon and Woodywoodpecker are the only never done ones for me. Gonna try to do the two I can next time I go

Still waiting.

“Waiting to see if SNW is successful.”

That’s like waiting to see if it’ll rain again in a rainforest.

I agree with everything you said. Also, I’ve done it once and never again.

Woodywoodpecker I did this past trip, I’d say it’s a step above Goofy’s coaster. Pteranodon I haven’t done either! Add it to the list.

Still waiting.

True, but you need to see the $ first. It’d be silly to green light a 2nd project without guaranteed success. I’m sure people said the same thing when they heard a Star Wars land was happening and we’ve seen the crowds for that. Now, you may blame that company more than the IP for the handling of everything but still, nothing is a total guarantee.

Money and the lack of priority. Hagrid’s is next door and JP coaster coming soon. They don’t need the headache of building a new land that will force everybody to the back of the park either.

I kinda wish that Zelda would just go to Epic Universe instead. You can't do any more roller coasters or water rides at IOA without it being redundant.

You can never have too many roller coasters.

Also IoA doesn't have an inside one, so that would work.

 

[Gillman]

Do you think they will wait till EU opens or USJ to determine if they should go ahead on Zelda?

You're right, but IOA is lacking in normal dark rides. We'll have four coasters by the time that Velocicoaster is done, two opening within three years of each other. The park needs something else.

Educated guess is they're waiting to see how SNW in Japan is received first.

4? Hulk, Hagrid's, Velocicoaster, and.... Cat in The Hat? I could be missing something.

But it could be a family coaster a la Seven Dwarfs and just be highly themed and have several dark ride scenes with coaster in between. Or, a water ride. Just because its a water ride doesn't mean you have to get wet, it could be more like Pirates and work as a dark ride. Easily distinguishable from the other water rides in the park.

I want an indoor boat dark ride in the area. Lose both Poseidon and Sindbad Theater, build a dark ride, retheme Mythos, and call it a day.
