    Islands of Adventure

This state-of-the-art theme park offers a selection of attractions not found anywhere else in Orlando. Experience unexpected adventure and innovative thrills as you take an unforgettable journey through the five islands; breathtaking roller coasters are blended in with a vast selection of thrills and attractions for the whole family.
 
The Lost Continent®
The Lost Continent is the island of ancient gods, legends, and myths. Standing guard at the two entrances are two impressive, intimidating griffins. This rather large continent is divided into three basic sections. They are, in order of appearance starting from Seuss Landing, The Lost City, Sinbad Bazaar, and Merlinwood. The Lost City section is overflowing with ancient ruins. Sinbad Bazaar is a bustling village crammed with all kinds of shops. Merlinwood is in a forest-type setting where mythical creatures become a reality. The Lost Continent is also home to Mythos, nominated the best theme park restaurant several times by the Theme Park Insider. In this island of chivalry, wizardry, and magic, countless adventures of epic proportions await around every bend.

Attractions:
Dueling Dragons Coaster
Flying Unicorn
Mystic Fountain
Poseidon's Fury: Escape from the Lost City
The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad
Shops:

Dueling Dragons:
This attractions starts out with menacing statues of the Fire and Ice dragons. Once you enter the castle you'll experience the best queue ever designed. It is almost like being in a haunted house while waiting. You see several frozen or burned knights along the way and learn the story of the two dragons that occupy the premises. Before boarding you must make a choice. This attractions consists of two different inverted roller coasters which are each unique. During your ride you will come within inches of a high speed collision with the other coaster as they are timed by computer to get as close as possible. Both the Fire and Ice are spectacular coasters with Ice showcasing the near misses and Fire throwing in a very unique air-time hill.

Toon Lagoon®
Toon Lagoon, the crazy and colorful world of the Sunday funnies, is populated by numerous cartoon and comic strip characters including Hagar the Horrible, Cathy, Beetle Bailey, Dudley Do-Right, Popeye, and Betty Boop, just to name a few. The "Lagoon" part of the name is no joke as water is very heavily used, not only in every attraction but the entire island. The three distinct areas that make up Toon Lagoon are Comic Strip Lane, Sweet Haven, and the Wacky World of Jay Ward. The bright, energetic Comic Strip Lane is made up of a sundry of shops and restaurants. The seaport town of Sweet Haven is home to the Popeye characters and contains two of the island’s three attractions. The last section, the Wacky World of Jay Ward, is located at the edge of the island near the Jurassic Park border and consists of one attraction. Toon Lagoon is definitely an extremely wet fantasy world full of fun and laughter geared toward both kids and adults.

Attractions:
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Me Ship, The Olive
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
Toon Trolley
Shops:

Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Ripsaw Falls is an updated version of the popular flume ride. The unique aspect is the drop begins at a 45 degree angle just as Splash Mountain does, but then it increases to 50 degrees giving the feeling you may just flip over. This is by far the most thrilling drop at Islands of Adventure even when compared to its coasters.

Marvel Super Hero Island®
Marvel Super Hero Island is the place where the Marvel super heroes and super villains come to life. Simple, to-the-point names such as Ice Cream and Store are displayed on the buildings of this fantastic city where good constantly fights evil, reflecting the same characteristics found in the comic books. On the buildings are painted flats of the comic book characters, battling for control of the city. Bold, bright colors along with an amazing music loop bring the fantasy world of the Marvel Comics stars to the real world. Travel down Stan Lee Boulevard or Yancy Street for super hero adventures not to be missed. Try riding the Incredible Hulk, a thrilling coaster that shoots you speeding out right from the start. Or The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, a simulator ride set in New York.

Doctor Doom's Fearfall
Incredible Hulk Coaster
Kingpin's Arcade

Ride Reviews:
The Incredible Hulk
The Hulk is very similar to the Kumba at Busch Gardens but the "launch" makes all the difference in the world. After engaging the lift hill which looks a little odd anyway, you creep up about half way before being launched at 45 miles an hour right into a flat spin. The front half of the Hulk's layout is almost completely over water which creates a spectacular effect you won't find on many coasters. Many people get a blackout sensation after the first vertical loop which is a testament to the intensity of this ride. You'll find the Hulk listed in many top 10 coaster lists around the world.

Spiderman
Spiderman is awesome! This ride uses vehicles similar to Countdown To Extinction but there are plenty of extra surprises. The combination of 3D, full motion, and sensory effects couldn't be done more seamlessly. The storyline basically turns you into reporter for the Daily Bugle when Doctor Octopus and company have completely taken over the city. You board the new SCOOP vehicle which is remotely controlled from the bugle and set out to become a newshound but of course you end up trying to help Spiderman help save the city.
According to many, this is the best ride at Islands of Adventure.

Dr. Doom's Fearfall
Dr. Doom's Fearfall is one of the shortest rides at Islands Of Adventure, but it may be the scariest as well. This nearly 200 ft. tall machine is designed to remove fear from the riders and if nothing else it does a good job of creating it. Out of nowhere Dr. Doom's Fearfall blasts you to the top of one of two menacing towers and then yanks you down creating a huge amount of air-time before returning you "fearless" to the ground.

Seuss Landing™
Seuss Landing brings the wacky world of Dr. Seuss’ many books to colorful and crazy life. Take part in the Cat in the Hat's zany adventures or ride a One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. The island, just like all of the others, is very heavily and uniquely themed, with Seussian creatures and creations everywhere. Bright and cheery music innocently brings the island to life. Details upon details dot the island, even in the most unexpected places. Although the island is primarily aimed at children, adults are sure to marvel and delight at all the fun and fantastic sights.

Ride Reviews:
The Cat in the Hat
The grins break out before the ride even begins when the vehicles, bright blue and orange six-passenger "couches," pull into the loading area. The attraction faithfully re-creates the original, seminal "Cat" story. Everything is there, from the Thing-1-and-Thing-2-infused bedlam that borders on anarchy, to the Cat's eventual redemption. Clearly targeted to kids, the ride strikes a chord with anyone who has ever read the classic story--and that's just about everybody.


Attractions:
Caro-Seuss-el
If I Ran the Zoo
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Seussian Sing-a-Long
Sylvester McMonkey McBean's Very Unusual Driving Machines
The Cat in the Hat


Shops:
Cats, Hats, and Things
Dr. Seuss' All the Books You Can Read
Mulberry Street Store
Snookers and Snookers Sweet Candy Cookers
Jurassic Park®
Jurassic Park, the island 65 million years in the making, is the largest area of the park and does a great job of recreating the movie’s atmosphere. The familiar, inspiring music swells as guests pass under the enormous gates. High-voltage fences line the perimeter of the lush, tropical jungle, containing the unseen ferocious dinosaurs that are evidently present by the frequent roars and violently shaking bushes. John Hammond and Ian Malcolm have even been spotted roaming the island to chitchat with visitors. The convincing theming evokes a feeling of wonder, uneasiness, and excitement. This prehistoric island is sure to amaze and delight any visitor who enters.

Attractions:
Camp Jurassic
Discovery Center
Island Skipper Tours Pteranodon Flyers
Jurassic Park: River Adventure
Triceratops Discovery Trail


Shops:
Dinostore
Jurassic Outfitters
Jurassic Park: River Adventure:
A great example of why Islands Of Adventure is not just a coaster park. The Jurassic Park River Adventure starts out with a grand musical entrance followed by a great tour of animatronic dinos, and finally into a thrilling accent and drop with great special effects. As is the norm for IOA, the theming is very strong for Jurassic Park. You really get the feeling that you could be in the movie and you learn how it feels to not be on top of the food chain anymore. The drop is spectacular due to a ferocious T-rex baring down on you and the plunge in near total darkness.
