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

[Ahmanet]

That t-shirt is beautiful, should've been a whole merchandise line.

Turn LC into a Fantastic Beasts zoo or something ... Hogsmeade is still way too crowded

If anyone has the ability to do so, I would certainly appreciate if someone kept track on the levels of Poseidon's Fury shirt stock. I was only barely able to get the Shrek one, and I won't be able to pop over until Wednesday.

Wow that was fast. Really wish they put this one online as it's fantastic and I'd love to buy one

I would also accept an 11x17 poster print of that art.

They tried. Just too late.

That's disappointing.

Hey that's me!

First time I've ever seen that shop busy, everyone was buying the shirt, so get yours quickly!

Also, first ever breakdown I've experienced with this, water tunnel was struggling when the door opened and show had to stop there.

THEY FOUND THE PROFESSOR!

I was so confused when they shouted that, then realized Taylor was gone and we were being evacuated

I bet exactly 5% of the people that bought those shirts actually care about Poseidon closing lmao

That may be a little high. Somewhere between 0 and 1%

Yup, straight to eBay

Yup, straight to eBay

Where they were resold at $50 each and now they're all gone from there too.

Here’s a post from the artist who designed the shirt: Andrew Stonecypher on LinkedIn: FINAL TOURS NOW DEPARTING! Extremely honored to have created the…

OK-- I know this is an old souvenir probably from when the park first opened, but no one is paying $1200 for a snow globe:

And, I am saying that as someone who has spent hundreds of dollars for vintage park souvenirs.

This is a situation where I wish Universal could -- periodically -- embrace a "manufactured on demand" component for their online sales. I get not wanting to place an order for an unlimited supply of Poseidon's Fury shirts (or posters...) given that the attraction is about to close, but letting customers place orders and then filling them (even if that means the customer has to wait a while to get the order) seems like a model that could work for products like we're talking about here.

Agreed. Even doing pre-orders for things like this.

Or you could make it a timed offering, too. Available to order for 24/48 hours, or something. Then you (Universal) know exactly how many items to order from your vendor.

To be honest they probably sold way more by releasing it in the park with no announcement, definitely created an illusion of scarcity.
