All good things must come to an end. Poseidon’s Fury is a walk-through attraction at Universal Orlando. You will find it in Islands of Adventure over on the Lost Continent.

This attraction allows guests to follow an archeologist guide and venture through the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. It takes you far beneath the ocean where you are caught in a colossal battle between Poseidon and the evil Lord Darkennon. Fireballs burst, lasers flash, and water erupts around you in this spectacular special effects experience.

It is especially popular for its amazing water tunnel. When and if it is working, it is one of the best parts of the experience.

Although this attraction has been around since 1999, it appears Poseidon’s reign will come to an end. Universal confirmed that the attraction is permanently closing.

If you want to see the attraction once more, there is still a limited opportunity to do so, but you will have to hurry. The last show will be on May 9, 2023.

According to Universal, the closure of Poseidon’s Fury is happening in order to make room for a new experience! We do not have confirmation as to what this new experience will be. However, it will be interesting to find out!

We do know that Universal is also working on Minions Land! We also know that Epic Universe is on the way. Hopefully, whatever is replacing Poseidon’s Fury will be amazing, too!
