Any hidden treasures in US IOA?

[threeboysmom]

Here is a list I compiled on my word processor & brought it with us on our trip. Not sure if I'll be able to get it all in one post - I'll try....

It was fun looking for all of these things when we didn't feel like riding rides.

Islands of Adventure:

Port of Entry:
1. A broken-out jail with a sign
2. Cannons above the restrooms
3. Questions to answer:
- What's the Daughters of Adventure slogan?
- Who is our resident music teacher and musician?
- During the 'jailbreak' what commodity is being exported from Port of Entry?
- What century is our rental Time Machine stuck in?
- Where did the Fire Brigade move to?
- Where does our resident Mystic live?
- What store carries Herbal Remedies?
- Who gives flying lessons?
- Where was the kite store? What happened to it? And what types of kites are left?
- What is the name of our resident Dance Instructor?
- What store has locked its doors and you could buy toys there?
- Why is there a balloon smack in the middle of Trading Company?
- Where is the original skeleton of the dinosaur hanging in the trading company?
- Where would you find hands holding lights in Trading Company?
- Who now runs Confisco's?

Marvel Island:
1. Imprints in the shape of fallen people in front of Doom’s entrance
2. Talking boxes by Hulk & Storm Force
3. Talking boxes between the Spiderman back exit and the armored car by Doom.
4. A crime reporting phone in front of the Daily Bugle
5. Call the phone # on the theatre marquee in Spiderman for a surprise (phone is to the left just as you exit the Hobgoblin scene and enter the scene where Doc levitates your car.
6. Any red phone – listen to recordings.
7. Talking newspaper box
8. Meteor crater between the café and a shop with the Marvel superheros’ imprints
9. Dr. Doom’s throne in the arcade/exit of the ride
10. Dr. Doom high above exit of Spiderman store (we found this, but it's not Dr. Doom - it's a Doombot)
11. All the giant character art on the Marvel Island was done by Marvel artist Adam Kubert. And he's justifiably proud of his work. So proud that he's hidden his first name on EVERY single piece of artwork. It's a fun way to kill an hour or so trying to find them all, but they're there -- it's a very stylized "Adam," but once you find the first one, it makes it easier. (I mentioned this earlier in this thread - this is my personal favorite - it was a LOT of fun for all of us)


Toon Lagoon:
1. A rock embedded in the cliffs of the Popeye ride that has Popeye’s face sculpted into it. You can only see it from the raft ride.
2. While you’re waiting in line for Popeye or walking around the path behind it, look over the edge into the center lake of IOA and you'll see a rock in a shape of a car and a sign next to it will say, Plymouth Rock

Jurassic Park:
1. On JPRA you can see a sign “Be Alert, Don’t Get Hurt”

Lost Continent:
1. If you look in front of the Dueling Dragons entrance you'll see a bronze circular plate. Stand on it and look at the coasters. All three near misses will line up perfectly.
2. While on Dueling Dragons, the lake is in the shape of a dragon
3. In queue for DD, there is a skeleton with a glass eye.
4. In queue for DD, there is a skeleton with a halo – right before you turn towards the Express Pass entrance.
5. Also in queue for DD, the bones spell out something.

Universal Studios:

World Expo:
1. Back to the Future Ride – there’s a Styrofoam cup to the right of the clock tower, in an alley way, just before you crash.
2. Back to the Future Ride – look for a caveman in the lava scene.

These are great. The only one I can think of at the moment is the bench round the back of Spiderman - he goes there to sit down. We met up with him twice on the bench - it's sort of round the side of the ride exit in the shade.

In JP, I remember hearing dinosaur sounds in the bushes and seeing them move.

Also, the theming on many of the rides has some humorous decorations. I seem to remember a mouse ear hat or something in the water on Jaws...

This is great! Thanks, Kimberly - I'm going to print those.
