7:22 I still think that water tunnel in poseidon's fury is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen at a theme park

Dude, I remember going to the park the month it opened. There were no lines for anything. The Hulk was utterly insane. I remember getting off the ride with my brother, and running our asses off to get back to the entrance of the ride so we could get on again. It took several minutes simply because of how much ground we had to cover. Later on we learned the lines for the Hulk easily reached 2 hr wait times, so we knew how lucky we were. The dr Seuss ride was cool too, super trippy. Certain parts of the park had a trippy acid feel. I remember us eating at that Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville restaurant, but I later heard they got rid of it. Man, so many memories. And hey, thanks for putting this up and helping jog some beautiful memories!

The late 90s and early 2000s was a nostalgic and interesting time at theme parks and this video represents that. I do miss when Universal was like this. It made you love the movies. It gets me teary eyed because movies have experienced a decline in recent years and going to Universal made me the movie buff I am today.

This video really dates the park. I was 6 when I came here for the first time. I'm 24 now. I still love coming to this park.

Universal just gets better with time!!! I can't wait for Universal Epic Universe!

Those times was so calm compared to today I still come to the park but wow what a difference!!! Love Universal!!!

i loved the early islands of adventure!

What a bygone era. Dueling dragons was SO cool when they ran both the red and the blue coaster in sync with one another. Spiderman was way better with the old music before they redid it. Harry Potter is fine but it's sad to see so much of lost continent gone. Unfortunately the Harry Potter ride at hogwarts is the only ride I've ever been on that leaves me feeling dizzy and motion sick. Still the best theme park anywhere for sure. Velocicoaster is phenomonal and has replaced the incredible hulk as my favorite roller coaster anywhere.

I was there just a week or so ago and it's funny how almost nothing has changed in a large section of the park. Marvel, Toon Lagoon, and Suess Landing has remained almost entirely unchanged from the park's opening in 1999.

The Spider-Man Ride Was Cool

27:15 she hits herself with her own sandal lololol

The Lost Continent reminds me of the setting of Disney movies 1. Mythical Greece (Hercules) 2. Ancient Arabia (Aladdin) 3. Medieval Europe (Sleeping Beauty)

13:33 these videos of the man in the control are when you enter the water treatment building on Jurassic Park River Adventure.

We've All Been Dragged Here Together To Enjoy Jacksepticeye's Supercrazy Theme Park, Toon Lagoon!

So Francis has never been in love but she's holding some dude's hand on the front seat of Dueling Dragons-- SUSPICIOUS

I love Islands of Adventure Park It's My Favorite😎👍✌💜💖💗

6:08 please bring Horton back to Seuss Landing

Here's hoping they do a souvenir video for Epic Universe!

Islands of adventure opened the same year as spongebob squarepants. 1999

Man, I miss the old Islands, Universal in general but Dueling Dragons was my favorite ride.

3:10 Parents: That Hulk roller coaster looks cool Kids: NOPE

This shit makes me emotional

Original IOA was where it's at

i liked universal disney and other theme parks and resorts around the world

My favorite Theme Park

This park hasn't changed a bit. Only the Wizarding world replaced the merlin woods and king Kong has its own area and the velocicoaster was added. But that's it

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! GOLDMINE!!

Has Universal Orlando/IOA/USF made another video like this, but more recently? Would love to see a video like this, but from like the 2010s or 2015s.

10:05 Am I the only one that is surprised they were able to get the phrase “ride the dragon” in there 🤷🏻‍♂️

Michael J. Fox as Stuart Little.

I always thought that Lost Continent was a very well themed part of the park with lots of background but the actual attractions and show did not have the staying power like some of the other areas in the park. It’s sad to see it now in 2024 as nothing more than walking space and a few food stands and shops with both “attractions” permanently closed. The only part of Lost Continent that seemed interesting was Merlin Wood but that got replaced by Wizarding World. For an original IP it was really well done overall but could’ve been executed even better in order to make it stand the test of time. I think Zelda will be a good replacement for that area and will bleed into harry potter better as Hyrule and the UK are more similar terrain wise and climate canonically.

The cartoon clips from the amazing adventures of spider man is just like the original spider man animated series

Was that entrance into what "Skull Island: Reign of Kong" is ? Was that entrance into what "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon and Alley and Hogsmeade" is?

I like how most rides mentioned at Universal orlando are closed now

R.I.P. Poseidon's Fury Sinbad Stage Show Dueling Dragons

Geena Davis as Eleanor Little.

Sweet.

Shrek Kung Fu Panda Madagascar The Transformers bumblebee (2018) universe-Cybertron Cartoon Network shows These are all potential gold mines, and whichever of these that are chosen, they can be placed in a few of these lands in islands of adventure for replacement. They shouldn’t just be glossed over by the company.

I was totally there in the year 2000.

Yeah MY Feet Get Wet There, I Love That Place.

7:31 Narrator: On dark and dreadful day, Atlantis and Poseidon rise up against Zeus... Posideon: And just what do you intend to do that? Zeus: RULE TO OBLIVION!!! Posideon: I'll See You an Eternatly!

Fabulous

They filmed a Barney movie there at about the same time. The park is the set, and it definitely shows.

Even though this park is out-dated, it is still the most fun park in all of Orlando.
