I am kind of surprised with all the hating on potter. I go to Universal for all the franchise rides. I recently just got back from a trip to universal and was very pleased with the new section. Forbidden journey was way more intense than expected. I never had much love for lost continent. I only found myself in the section to eat and ride dragons. I agree with a previous post that they could of cut a little more into jurassic park but I feel they did a great job. I just don't understand what all the love for lost continent. Poseidon and sinbad never did much for me. The theming to the area was pretty awesome but nothing that was mind blowing. The pictures of disneyseas impress me a lot more. I much rather have another franchise in there. Its what universal is all about. The islands is all franchises minus the lost continent. It always felt a bit lost(no pun intended). In my opinion (which doesn't mean much) I enjoy IOA more now than any other individual park in orlando. I would also like to state I am 28 so I defiantly prefer the thrill rides and the easy access to city walk for a beer at the end of the day. Potter makes the park that much more fun for me. The only thing that worries me is the limited ridership on dragons. I love this unique BM and would hate to see it leave the park.
