The battle between theme park nostalgia and innovation is always a difficult one. Most attractions last for decades, often creating multiple generations of fans who fall in love with them, but they are often eventually replaced to make room for something new and exciting. Closure has now befallen Poseidon’s Fury at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. The walk-through attraction closed this week, and plenty of fans turned out to say goodbye.
Poseidon’s Fury was an opening day attraction with Universal Orlando Resort’s second gate, and while the walk-through attraction, presented as a tour o the ruins of a lost civilization, had gone through some changes over the years, the core show had been there since the beginning, so it’s understandable why saying goodbye to it potentially meant a lot to both the fans and the park itself. Universal Orlando posted its own farewells to Twitter.
