Islands of Adventure

IOA excels at themed environments.

It feels like a Disney park, that's how immersive it is.

Watch out for fountains that listen to you and hold intelligent conversations (and shoot streams of water).

The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad: a stunt show.

 

One of the best themed areas in IOA: Jurassic Park.

Ripsaw Falls awaits with cartoony theme, thrills, and a few surprises.

 

Popeye's and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges will get you VERY wet.

Spider-Man looms over Marvel Super Hero Island.

 

Coaster lovers rave about the Incredible Hulk...

...especially its powerful and surprising start.

 

The sheer volume of theming is staggering, even in places no one would normally notice.

Wait times within Seuss Landing are posted in a centralized location.

 

The colorful kiddie play area in IOA is always photogenic.

They've figured out a way to make SOME use of the monorail track. Originally Seuss Landing was supposed to have a monorail, but the lawyers figured out at the very last second that there was no way to evacuate, so it sat unused for years. These two automated Seussian vehicles add some needed kinetics to the area.
