After more than two decades of thrilling guests, Poseidon’s Fury at Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, has officially closed. The announcement was made by Universal Orlando Resort on May 9th, 2023, with the park bidding farewell to the beloved attraction.
Poseidon’s Fury was an immersive, indoor walkthrough experience that took guests on a journey through ancient ruins and undersea caverns, culminating in a dramatic battle between Poseidon and Lord Darkenon. The ride was known for its stunning special effects, including water walls, pyrotechnics, and an animatronic sea serpent. The attraction had won several awards and was considered a fan favorite, making the news of its closure all the more bittersweet.
Universal Orlando Resort has not yet announced plans for the future of the Poseidon’s Fury site. However, the park has a history of creating world-class attractions, so fans can be sure that something equally impressive will take its place. The closure of Poseidon’s Fury marks the end of an era at Islands of Adventure, but also signals the park’s commitment to providing fresh and innovative experiences for its guests.
