    It's incredible how much of IOA looks exactly like it did nearly 25 years ago.

      To me, that's not a bad thing. Only major difference now is Lost Continent is pretty much gone and replaced with Harry Potter now.

    I wish I saved the money and went on a trip to Islands of Adventure back when it was first opened, it would ahve been such an experience to behold back then. I went late in 2023 and though I was 24 years late, it still holds up.

    Man, I really miss Dueling Dragons and honestly that whole area that used to be there. And with the closing and demolishment of Lost Continent, It's really sad to see. Though, I guess nostalgia will make it more than it actually was. Besides DD, that was an awesome rollar coaster back in the day.
