The Future of Lost Continent

[JoeCamel]

PF is the legit one attraction, I’ve never done at UOR. Haven’t done VC or Bourne but they opened since I haven’t been so, I consider PF the one attraction at UOR I’ve never done and it bothers the shiz out of my ocd. Please don’t close this yet.

A tip from me is the cart out front has really cold beer and you can walk through the line (AC dim lights) and drink the beer. Discard before you enter and the whole show is wild

Oh plan for April trip pre Covid was ball out at Mythos then do the LC attractions, so this sounds about on par to what I’d be doing

I did PF once, the first time I went to IOA . Way
Back in 00. I remember thinking it was neat, but not something I’d ever want to do again. I can’t imagine how much has changed since then.

I read that as Pteranodon Flyers at first....

Well… the entire story changed from following an old hermit who is Zeus in disguise and watching them defeat Poseidon to following a random explorer and helping Poseidon defeat a Darth Maul-looking rip-off named Darkenon.

So a good bit, actually.

They also ruined what was possibly the best wow ending of any theme park show I’ve ever seen.

I won't go so far as "ruined," because I still like the current version a lot, but yeah.

Darkenon is the lamest thing ever. The finale to this attraction is straight out of the local ren fair, and the projection quality looks like it's still from the 90s. That whole ending sequence is very silly and I don't think it's intentional.

Not a huge fan of this one if I'm honest, all the power to its fans though. Hope it comes back better than how it left.

Maybe they install Christie projectors and amp up the show or laser the images? That would make the muddy images pop

Projection upgrade would be stellar

I believe they updated the laser effects a few years ago, but who knows

It's a fun effect show in a beautiful themed building.
I like the opening of the door, the vortex and the spectacle at the end minus the projections and the whole story. If they would change those 2 elements it would be a fun attraction.

Biggest problem is that the whole attraction, including it's area in front of it, is quite big and there could be a dark-ride in that location.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

If Zelda were to come, is it to assume that the dark ride building takes up a good chunk so there wouldn’t be room for a show or 2nd minor attraction?

 

[JungleSkip]

The only good thing about Poseidon is the water tunnel. The rest is an underwhelming mess of a show with PS2 era graphics and sub-Power Rangers acting. The sooner Lost Continent is finally wiped off the map, the better

They did update them. The lasers I mean.

 

[therock]

This is the one old school Universal attraction that I never cared for. And the last time I went on it, the water tunnel had a really bad smell. It turned me off to going back on it again. The outside building is beautiful however.

*imagines Intamin or Vekoma coaster that could be fit into this plot*

Man, 3/4 of the last few additions to Islands of Adventure have been coasters. I'll take Poseidon's over that.

@Alicia Theme Park Stop, has an excellent new You Tube video on the rumored replacements for Lost Continent during the past decade. Pretty much right on.

And once again, I'm glad none of them happened

(preface: Dragons would have been cool, but will make a great home EU)
