My family has a great story for this one. When the guide shined the blacklight at the secret message he said something like "Oooo there's no way out!" and immediately a few people left through the emergency exit and the room lit up from the sun. The entire group burst into laughter and even the guide was laughing as he went "oh no! The message has been erased! Wait-ok I can read it again".

Poseidon’s Fury is an Underrated Great of IOA. As a theater kid, getting to play Taylor in Poseidon’s Fury was always a dream of mine. The theatrical effects of this attraction hold up to this day, and I would really hate to see this ride go.

I can't help but admit, as cheesy as this thing is, I can't help but love Poseidon's Fury. It very much feels like a relic of non-IP-driven Universal, but that really gives it a massive charm and identity in the rest of the park as it is. Even if it's successor or replacement is fantastic, I'd honestly hate to see it go. Also Skyward Sword slander is NOT going to be tolerated, Jack, don't make me fight you on this. Lol

"12 weeks and a budget of $3." I lost it. LOLOL!! I never got to experience the original version of this attraction, but I did get to experience the revamp not long after it reopened. I had ZERO idea of what to expect. After the show was over, even though I thought the effects (especially the water vortex) were cool, my first thought was "What the eff did I just watch?" LOL!!

Poseidon's Fury is so goofy and fun, I absolutely adore this show. Taylor is always a hoot and I like the cheesy effects. My favorite part is where you walk through the water tunnel!

I unironically LOVED it when I visited. I'd never even heard of it before, and I thought it was so much fun and the effects were so impressive. The story was a little hokey, but it's a theme park show, not broadway. Plus I really appreciated having a major experience that wasn't another ride.

My family and I unironically love this attraction. When I lived down in Florida I made a point to make my friends who had never seen the show experience it. I’ll be crushed when/if it leaves the park, if not for the lone fact that the outside show building is incredible. Also, my favorite Taylor performance consisted of the guy reading the spell and saying, “that sounds like some sort of Black Sabbath lyric”

I went to islands or adventure last week and was actually disappointed this was closed just cause the facade is so insane

This show is already history, I guess that video didn’t age well.

I did Poseidon’s Fury during a Universal visit back in around 2017. I remember enjoying it in from how campy it felt. I knew it wasn’t the best, but the whole vibe of the attraction was really interesting to me

I've been to Islands of Adventure twice in my lifetime (second time was this October) and both times this was closed for refurbishment. I know it's a polarizing attraction but I love Greek and Norse mythology so I was super bummed out to have missed it!

I don't recall ever seeing the original version of the ride, but I have extremely fond memories of the revamped show and going through all the cool effects. I LIKED Taylor and all their goofiness. :) And I really enjoyed the show too. I'm sorry to see that it's probably on its way out, but at least we'll always have the memories.

Most of the time I can’t sit through 20+ minuet videos… But yours are on a completely different level, I love them! I get so immersed into your story telling, and your visuals make it that much better! Thank you for your amazing work!

I think I understand now at least one reason why this hasn't reopened - walking with a group of strangers from smallish enclosed space to smallish enclosed space sounds a bit tricky during a pandemic.

When we went to IOA in 2018, we were standing in a long line at Poseidon's Fury and we were thinking about leaving. This kid in front of us told us that it was his favorite ride and we should stay, and we are so glad he said that because we ended up loving it. The water vortex was the coolest part, and it was create to enjoy a ride so much without specifically planning it in our day. I'd be super sad if they replace it, but I would also love a Hyrule themed park :)

First attraction I ever did. Way back pin 2011, my first Trip to universal. I said “the bad guy kinda looks like Ganondorf,” and a minute later he STOLE my joke and it got a few laughs.

Love the Zelda Water Temple music you snook in. Perfect.

Speaking of the Greek god Poseidon, I'd like to see a video on the "Hercules and Xena: Wizards of the Screen" attraction at Universal Studios.

It’s officially closing May 10th which is disappointing because a couple of years ago it already got refurbished

I used to be a "friend" of Taylor back in the day! It was such a fantastic time, and so many crazy stories! For example, If the kid that got picked as the volunteer for the show wasn't too scared. There's some scary moments in the show when the lights go out if your particular Taylor did it right. Some of the Taylor's took pride in getting some good jump scares in the show. We were allowed to let them hold the trident and have them run first into the water vortex when it activated. It was so cool to hype the kids up throughout the show if they were in to it and not too scared. By the end of the show, you show up again and celebrate, and it's so cool to see the volunteer actually run up and feel like a winner. Those were some amazing moments when everything in the show "goes right"... Good crowd, effects work, and pray to Poseidon that those walls fly each time! 😅 Thank you for making this! Keep up the good work. 🔱🧜‍♂🔱

Dude, this takes me back. As a kid, this show was one of the scariest and most badass shows I had ever seen! I got to see it one more time before it closed, and even if it's rather dated, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Love your videos as always Jack! Can't wait for Shrek 4-D in a few weeks. I'm gonna miss it, my final time on it was a few days ago and I got 3 things from the gift shop to remember it

I know I already said this minutes ago, but I think the Greek section of The Lost Continent could have a lot of potential for a Kid Icarus flying theater attraction or coaster. I love Uprising so much, it fits the charm, vibe, and theme of this area of the park, and both need so much love.

They had a huge missed opportunity on making a this a dark ride attraction instead of a walkthrough experience.

Growing up going to IOA, I knew my favorite land was the Lost Continent area. Dueling Dragons, Merlin, fortune tellers…I got to work at Dragon Challenge so there’s a lot of love for this land. This attraction specifically is a sleeper hit and I hope they bring it back soon.

I love this thing. Absolute must-do every time I was in Islands of Adventure. It helps that every time I've seen it, it's obvious a bunch of other people in the room love it, too, and we all get in on the interplay with the guide. It's obvious the guides love their job, too, it must be a blast. My favorite moment was, in retrospect, probably a minor technical error nearing the finale, when the walls took a little too long to open. The guide was taking suggestions for the magic phrase and of course we'd gone through the classics until one guy yells "Squiddly-diddly!" Dutifully, the guide raised his hands to the heavens and shouts, "Squiddly-diddly!" And the great, booming voice of Poseidon filled the room and said "NO."

not going to lie this is actually one of my favorite attractions at IOA

My husband played one of the "keepers" in this attraction. The cast was enthusiastic about presenting this but even they felt some improvements could be made.

I've been to to this park numerous times and never mind attending this attraction. If it leaves I will be sad to see it go, glad I experienced it so many times, also excited to see what comes! Great video, I love this channel.

The revamped attraction was ridiculous. It was so ridiculous that I actually enjoyed every second of it! Too bad the last time I was in Islands of Adventure, the attraction was closed.

As a kid, I went when the park first opened, then again when I was 18. Went to Poseidon's Fury both times. Loved it as much as the first time.

Im so glad i got to experience this attraction at least once before it shut down, it was such a great relic of the park and i loved how cheesy it was. RIP Poseidon's Fury

Posidens Haunted Temple sounds awesome!! I wish they went with that & made it scary

This was really really good. I was at Islands of Adventures 3 weeks before the US really shut down. We went on this & had no idea it never reopened once universal opened back up. Crazy to think i might been apart of one of the last groups to experience it

Ohhhhh man, I’m ready to sink my teeth into this! Fix yourself a plate and a cold drink to watch this one! Great content as always Jack! 👍🏻

What an early Christmas present! Definitely do Escape from Pompeii in the future!

JACK IVE BEEN RE BINGE-ING YOUR VIDEOS ALL WEEK. SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK AND EVEN HAPPIER TO SEE A NEW VIDEO!!

I remember this attraction when I was a kid. I thought it was frightening watching the water and fire exploding around me.

I went to IOA during a preview weekend and got to see the original, and I loved it. I didnt care about the graphics cause I was so awed by the projections onto the water screens, and the voice acting was so great. Years later when I went back I was so disappointed that the old man wasnt part of it, and the new live actors looked so bad. It still has a place in my cheesy themepark heart.

I remember when I first walked into this attraction; I initially thought it would be a boat ride similar to Pirates of the Caribbean or Jurassic Park: River Adventure. So as much as I liked the different special effects (especially the water vortex), the attraction itself was honestly kinda disappointing.

Love the ReBoot reference. Loved that show as a kid

I actually enjoyed Poseidon’s Fury and it's disappointing that it'll shut down permanently, but if it gets replaced with a Zelda themed attraction I think that I'll get over it.

Our tour guide was really funny and a great actor. It seems like a very competitive role to get.

@Theme Park History I would love to see Reign of Kong covered along with King Kong 360 3D! I do hope that comes soon!

This is the one I've been waiting for! Thank you!

I am one of this attraction's defenders. The cheesiness is the point! It's like stepping into an episode of Hercules or Xena Warrior Princess.

Love when these videos appear. So glad I subscribed. Always happy when these show up

Yes! Another upload! I love these so much.

Gotta say, the Vortex alone is worth getting in queue for this one. That shit always left me in awe

this makes me feel old... i was part of a preview tester group to the park when it first opened... back when duelling dragons was there too ... this has so many issues the day we went. I just remember getting to the room before the water - that part of the show went ahead and the water started up, but the doors never opened - we waited awhile but I had to leave cause the water made me need the loo... i went to the loo and then waited by the exit for my family for ages -- I asked if I had missed much and they said "nope...just walking through some water" We went again a few years later and it had been updated slightly for the performances but it just felt old and tired... When it first opened I can imagine the water tech was somethings special and being able to walk through it was amazing - but these types of shows have been phased out...that area should have just become part of the harry potter land

One of my favorite attractions ever

YES!!!!!! CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY!!! May your holiday be awesome man. Thank you as always for the great content.

I’ve been on Poseidon’s Fury many times, it’s a great show.

man I love these videos so much! :)

do the studio tour if you could! ive been a subscriber for a while.

Love to see Poseidon's lines from Smite being used. I like how goofy this attraction is, but wouldn't be sad to see it go.

This is my favorite channel. Please continue to upload more videos.

Love everything you do, I’d be really excited to see a video The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad, even if it’s just an Express

I finally made it on a video for making a suggestion! Yay! Thanks for making this and all of your hard work.

It’s definitely one of my favorite rides at the park , great video man! And Merry Christmas!

Another great video! Poseidon’s Fury is one of my favorite attractions at Universal Orlando. I love the theming and stories behind Lost Continent. I’m also so excited that Poseidon’s will be reopening soon! I’ve missed it so much!!!

Welcome back dude. Hope all is well. Excellent video as always.

I love your videos. I’ve been watching for awhile and the first time I went to Universal I thought of all your videos

Huge pop for the smart mark sterling card

I actually really liked/like this attraction even if it is a bit cheesy. I feel like it’s cheese adds to its charm.

Always happy to discover a fellow Wind Waker fan! Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask will always hold a special place in my heart, but nothing quite beats the silliness, and cel-shaded splendor of Wind Waker! ⛵

I'd definitely like to see the Disneyland Paris' version of the Haunted Mansion called Phantmon Manor.

Yes! It is polarizing! My first time, I thought it was an amazing and fun attraction. Then the last time I went, it was meh! Because if you don't get the right standing spot at the end battle scene, it's disappointing since you can't see much of these physical effects.

Great video. I absolutely love Poseidon’s Fury. It’s a must do for me when at Islands of Adventure.

I’m so mad I never went in there! we never knew what the “ride” was when the park first opened so we never went inside 😹

Yesss new video! Merry Christmas Eve theme park history’

When I went to Islands of Adventure once upon a time ago in 2003, I actually wanted to go on this attraction. I didn't know what to expect from it, but the outside just looked inviting. Unfortunately, I never went to it.

I'm honestly still patiently waiting for a video on Horror Make Up Show. It's always my favorite show in the Universal Parks.

0:23 I've Saw Poseidon's Fury Live At Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure Theme Park At Universal Orlando Resort In Orlando Florida In The United States Of America Bigger Than New York City In North America Last Year Back In March 2023 And It Was Super Awesome And I Was In A Studio Setting Of Aquaman The Movie In 2018 From Warner Bros Pictures And Gerry Anderson's Stingray And Of Course Thunderbirds The Original Series In 1964 And 1965 As Seen On ITV Which Are Both Filmed In Supermationation. We're About To Launch. STINGRAY. THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO. F.A.B Virgil. My Favourite Line In The Show. Happy New Year Theme Park History Amigo Dude Mate. PS Old School Times Man. X

Thank you for this

I didn’t know what this was when I got in line, but I enjoyed the experience.

This is a great video, and Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

Loved the smart Mark Sterling shoutout lol. #majormark

you completely left out that it is currently under massive refurbishment, no its not getting shut down anytime soon thankfully.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the holiday upload🎄🎅🏻 More success and happiness to you!!

Is it cringey and dated? Yes. Do I still love it ? Absolutely. I love walk through attractions and would love to see this get a state of the art makeover .

The dad joke at the end was so funny. Another great video!

"The team had only 12 weeks and a budget of $3 dollars" I can't 🤣🤣

I went to see it, and I never thought it was bad... i loved it, the effects n lighting was amazing

I was at the park yesterday and an employee said this ride was going to reopen in Feb-March of this year 😎

One of my favorite theme park experiences

Welcome back!!!!

Liking + commenting just for Wind Waker superiority

It’s always good to hear your voice again Jack!!

Oh my god thank you for going through the history of this attraction (gonna be honest, I completely forgot that I had requested it). Not gonna lie this show has always been guilty pleasure of mine and I always made an attempt to go through it every time I went to the park. I loved both versions of this show, although the first will always be my favorite. If this show really does go the way of the god's did in the God of War series then yeah, it'd bum me out but at the same time this show has had a hell of a run as well and it just might be time for something new. Anyways thanks again for going over this one man, great work as always!

Bro I am such a big fan of this channel

You're videos make me so happy lol. You're a comedic genius. I only experienced this attraction once. I really enjoyed it for what it was. I doubt it'll be coming back sadly. It also makes me worried about Mythos. I absolutely love the food at Mythos, so I'm worried if it'll close.

Merry Christmas TPH🎁🎄

Let’s go love your videos!!!

wow! learn something new every day!! I LOVE the second version better. I hope whenever i do go back P F Will still be there and maybe refurb !

Love the use of the OoT Water Temple music!

Having been on posiedon’s fury, it was a fantastic walk through ride. Sure it’s not the best ride there but I still love it.

It's always been one of my favorites at IoA. It's not AMAZING or WOW, but it's something I always have to hit whenever I get to go

22:25 Hell yeah love to see some Wind Waker love lol 🙌🙌 Fantastic video as always!

wow-i’m so glad i found this video you did! i went on this exactly once when i was little, and though waking i dont remember it very well, i Still have vivid dreams about this place and all the waterworks! amazing what an impression an attraction can make!
