I disagree with the Lost Continent not "fitting in" when its strength was the fact it was based on myths and legends, you COULD slap a movie on top of it, but the goal of Isles of Adventure was to showcase different elements of fiction, comics, children's books, sifi fiction like jurrassic park, and mythical stories, I think it is stronger for not using licensing, and I do worry that universal is becoming swamped with a franchise that while not dying out any time soon, is quite a few years old, and with the author connecting to it being rather distasteful, you'd think there would be more properties to explore with simular fantasy themes.

Excellent job! Something fun that we like to do after riding "Forbidden Journey" as we exit through the gift shop: Ask any of the cast members in the gift shop why they are "in detention" (working in the gift shop is punishment for breaking Hogwart's rules). They all have scripted replies about the rules they violated. Some are quite extensive and very entertaining.

Splash Mountain next?👀

In my opinion… I hate the Harry Potter Lands. I have some reasons to explain for why. 1-worst, 2-mediocre, 3-minor nuisance Number 1. It got rid of Jaws. Jaws was one of the best rides and I know it was hard to maintain but it kept the older guests coming back to the parks. Number 2. I just don’t like Harry Potter. I know, I know, okay? I am not in the magic wizard stuff. I’m more into the Sci-Fi Action things than wizardry. Number 3. It is overcrowded. I just hate when I go to Universal and when I’m walking through the Harry Potter Land to get to Jurassic Park I am in a concert basically. I can’t walk any where. Maybe that’s just my problem but it is annoying. I just take the other side though so it’s the least of my worries.

90% of today's kids have never seen Jaws, considering Universal's main demographic is teenagers, and they're expected to update rides and attractions to maintain interest, keeping Jaws would have been the wrong move.

[@FPH73]

Jaws was in a different park

[@whiteshark2838]

@@mk.xo29It’s true but I’m still annoyed tbh, haha.
