My Short reviews of the rides at The Island of Adventures

[PotNoodle]

Overall, I think this theme park compared to others is for those who mainly enjoy the faster rides. I maybe wrong but thats my general opinion. I know my wife didn't enjoy this park all that much.

Anyway, here's my short reviews.

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Mans
Very enjoyable! - A reasonably lengthy ride that takes you through several adventures in where Spiderman fights his enemies. It's good because its so different. 9/10

Incredible Hulk Coaster
It actually looks worse than it actually is believe me. It's enjoyable and very similar to Kraken, although I think the Sea-World's rollercoaster is better. 8/10

Doctor Doom's Fearfall
Disappointed me! Purely because the ride was way too short. It doesn't have the excitement and thrill like the Tower of Terror does. The lift off is definitely worth going on to experience, but overall that's the only highlight. 6/10

Storm Force Accelatron
Very similar to the Mad Hatter's Tea Cups in the Magic Kingdom, but slightly faster. 7/10

Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Excellent! - Believe me you will get a soaking! - Great fun from start to finish. I got so wet that I had to buy a new t-shirt asap. So be warned. 10/10

Jurassic Park River Adventure
Dinosaur in the Animal Kingdom is perhaps the slightly better of the two, but don't let that put you off. It's definitely good fun. 8/10

Pteranodon Flyers
This is more of a kids ride than anything, but worth trying out. You get to fly high above the ground with the slight bit of rocking here' and there'. Everybody will enjoy this of all ages - except of course those who dislike heights. 6/10

Dueling Dragons
The trio of young women who sat beside me compared it to the best ever sex they've experienced. It was enjoyable but finished too soon. 8/10

You missed some. Did you not get to ride everything?

Sadly no, I wanted to go on the Popeye and Brutus log-flume ride, but after getting soaked earlier at Rik Saw's Falls - I just had to decline.

Oh, we did go on the Unicorn rollercoaster mind you, which was tame, but surprisingly good.

Spider man is one of the best attractions in Florida. I love Disney, but this ride alone brings me back to IOA. The Hulk gave me a headache, I banged my head early on, but it's certainly exhilerating. Duelling Dragons scare the whatsits out of me Doctor Doom's Fearfall I just find boring, Dudley Do Right is fun but almost gave me whiplash, the Pteranadon flyers I thought had been shut down , Jurassic Park River adventure is fab, even though you know the crate is gonna fall you STILL think it'll hit you on the head and Storm Force is just... *yawn*

My even shorter ride reviews even though I sounded a little negative, I'm looking forward to going back, I'll be there in 2 weeks!!!

Interesting. I'm a thrill ride junkie, so I wouldn't have thought of comparing these two rides just for the theming. My favorite part of Jurassic Park River Adventure is the plunge, and Dinosaur doesn't have that.

at the Dueling Dragons description! Unfortunately, I feel that way about most coasters.

I think Dinosaur at AK is such a cop-out of a ride. Considering it is the same as Indiana Jones in Disneyland, it is a huge disappointment.

Great Review!! A friend and I just got back Sunday from being there Friday (15th). LOVED the fact that the lines weren't very long----cannot imagine standing in line 30+ mins for some of these 1 min rides. Here are my 2 cents as well....

HULK---Enjoyed it alot but thought it was definitely too short. Very smooth ride but didn't have the flips and turns that Krakin had at SeaWorld.
SPIDERMAN---Lots of fun. Some folks would not have liked the spinning part---like my DH who can ride roller coasters w/the best of them but can't spin at all....can't even watch it!!
DR DOOM & STORM FORCE--didn't ride either one.
RIPSAW FALLS--was fun but the waiting line was WAY too long. The holding area got pretty stuffy. Can't imagine standing in line 30 mins or more for this ride. 20 was too long!!
JURASSIC PARK--Good ride. Liked the story and information about different dinos before you boarded. Made the wait time not seem as bad. Annimation inside was good.
PTERANODAN FLYERS--VERY disappointed that we weren't allowed to ride.
Said b/c we didn't have any children in our party (2 adts) we couldn't ride it. We saw lots of adults on the ride so we know it had nothing to do w/size or weight. Said there had to be at least 1 child in our party. So what happens to couples that don't have children but like a more low key ride? Doesn't seem fair to me at all.
DUELING DRAGONS--WAY COOL RIDE!! We loved it but it was definitely too short. Was over before we knew it. I think there should be a bin or something where you can put you flip flops/sandals before you board. I know there is a locker area before you get in line but needs a place to put sandals. My friend had to put hers behind her back while on the ride.
POPEYE's & BLUTO's BARGES--LOTS of fun. We definitely got SOAKED!! Would be nice if they had paper towels in an area where you can at least dry your face of, glasses, feet if you took your shoes and socks off like I did. But it was alot of fun and would definitely do it again.

We did not ride any of the rides in Seuss Landing area since we didn't have little kids w/us but they looked really cute.
