My cousin and I were there and had a good time watching it spray kids and talk to them...A very cool "attraction" IMO

Jurassic Park all the way! Even though its lacking in attractions, it's just so immersive. I love walking up and into the Discovery Center, love the River Adventure, and Camp Jurassic is the most fun playground I think I've ever experienced in a theme park!

IOA has a very strong land line up. Hogsmeade (or Diagon in USF) is probably the best land in all of themeparkdom.

It's tough. Overall, factoring in everything on balance, it's probably got to be Hogsmeade. Arguably the strongest attraction lineup in the park, coupled with detail-rich environments. Jurassic Park was once my favorite place to spend time, however (even after Hogsmeade opened), because of the strong atmosphere and ambiance in there. But who knows what it's going to look and feel like once the coaster eats up all the mood.

I really don't think there's a truly "weak" land in the park, at least from a design aesthetics standpoint.

Gonna be tough to beat the land that turned the industry on it’s head and is still, to this day, arguably the best land in America.

And that was before Hagrid’s.

Hard to argue against Hogsmeade, but I will say nothing in Seuss Landing ever existed in 3-D space before the land was built. And it has no "real world" counterpart, whereas Hosgmeade pulls pretty heavily from an idealized version of real Scotland. Also so many Easter eggs scattered throughout SL (Snitches, McElliot's Pool, Truffula Forrest, If I Ran the Zoo ...) Close call but give the edge to Seuss.

Hogsmeade is the obvious answer but I think Port of Entry gets overlooked often. There’s something about it that just sets the tone for the rest of the park.

Click to expand...

If the measure is purely number of attractions, then sure.

The design work throughout what remains of Lost Continent is beautiful, though, and Poseidon's Fury is great for the sort of attraction that it is.

Best: Hogsmeade

Worst: Toon Lagoon or Lost Continent. Both because they just feel like a waste of space until something better can take over (in TL's case, just a lot of wasted space).

#1--Hogsmeade (what can I say that hasn't already been said?)
#2--Seuss Landing (very rarely gets credit for its brilliant design)
#3--Marvel Superhero Island (hope they never lose the rights)
#4--Lost City (super underrated)
#5--Port of Entry (second best entry area in Central Florida after DAK)
#6--Jurassic Park (has been hurt by Skull Island plus construction but will look a lot better once Velocicoaster opens)
#7--Toon Lagoon (great for getting wet, but feels a bit cheap and tacky on the Marvel side)
#8--Skull Island (please put a new arch up!)
#9--Arabian Bazaar (wish they could somehow fit a (practical) Zelda attraction just here)
