Poseidon's Not Too Furious
Someone asked me about what's going on at Poseidon's Fury in Universal Studios Florida. Seems they write a blog dedicated to Jeffrey Combs, the actor who plays Lord Darkenon in the attraction.
So here's the skinny: Poseidon's Fury is a shodaw of its former self. The roaring vortex effect -- arguably the main reason for standing in line for the attraction -- has been turned off.
I'm also told that in another attempt to save a few pennies, many of the pyrotechnic effects in the last scene have been eliminated.
All in all, the only reason to pop into Poseidon's Fury now is to escape the rain. Let's hope that, as the economy improves, so will the effects in this attraction.

Well, this is certainly a bummer. This is actually one of the attractions I enjoy most at Universal's Islands of Adventure (not Universal Studios). I suppose, though, if you were visiting for the first time and weren't familiar with the show, you wouldn't even realize any effects were left out.
