@@DisneyDave Back when they actually worked too! Ha, ha! i went back in July this year, and some of the dinos were missing, and the others that were present... sadly wern't working that well or at all. It was really sad to see the state of it.
@@eviltom17 that’s such a shame to hear they are not maintaining the ride especially when it was only a few years ago when the ride had a refurbishment 😞
Nice flashback back to the early days of what many considered the "Nect-Generation" of theme parks, Thanks for uploading and keep the classic thrills coming!
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.
I love so much your home video footage of the parks!! It’s so amazing and beautiful to admire these precious memories of these precious parks. In a couple days, (12 days and counting to be exact haha) me and my partner are gonna go on vacation and visit these parks, and we love watching your videos in anticipation for our trip as we are gonna get to see how much these parks have changed and evolved today in just a few more daysss🥰 so excited and so grateful for your capturing and time-capsuling of these beautiful places💚

Hey Dave, will you and your partner be coming back when Park 3 opens? I think you probably will. LOL. How long has it been since you were in Orlando? LIKE 42. 👍👍👍
Hey Kenny, Sure we will be back, and we were there this time last year for 2 weeks, it was especially rememberable because we were there for EPCOT's 40th & when Hurricane Ian hit Orlando! 👍

It's incredible how much of IOA looks exactly like it did nearly 25 years ago.
agreed 👍 easily one of the least changed parks in Orlando
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.
@@eviltom17I miss the originality of the Lost Continent :/
@@oak2396 Same!
UA-cam top comments always manage to spoil a video even if it’s a damn tour of a theme park
Crazy how many decades later this Park still manages to hold up.
The Cat in the Hat spinning is a relic of time that will be missed
Time really passes. Love that early "Jurassic Park River Adventure" the animatronics were astounding at that era.
It certainly does @twisterxv-tech1160, and they were awesome back in the day!

Wonderful footage! I've always loved this park and we just got passes here again this past week :)
Thank you Molly, Great to hear you've got new passes, that's awesome 🥳

Honestly I didn’t know IOA was this old I went for the first time in 2011, the rides still keep up with the times.
that river adventure trex looks amazing

Well you might want to go to HHN because there’s a entire house based off Dueling Dragons
@@TwilightLink77 I've heard and scene but I'm really not into the haunted house sort of stuff
Dude thank you so much for uploading this!!! I've been trying to find a good video of IOA and we finally have one thanks to you! You're a 👑 for this!
your welcome

@jamilmike610 Thank you and great to hear that, Have the most fabulous and amazing time when you and your partner visit soon ❤️❤️
Dueling Dragons and it's secret short cut back through the line!
the T-rex animatronic looked amazing compared to now in 2024, weirdly enough lol
Wow I guess the dinos were always slow in Florida compared to how they look in that 1997 Hollywood video.

Potter destroyed the Lost Continent.
I completaly agree. Dueling dragons with the sculpture was just awesome. And complete the theming. After potter it became shallow
HP area was so immersive Disney hasn’t even been able to respond ever, none of their lands have gotten close both Star Wars and Toy Story land suck
@@NicEeEe843Star Wars land isnt that Bad, the rides are cool. But Harry Potter is just better
They said the ride is way worse now, the projections and screens are horrible in 99, way better now.
For the cat in the hat I mean
The Cat in the Hat look better then than nowdays
Take me home

Already miss PF ☹️
