- The original version of Poseidon’s Fury, featuring the old “Keeper” character. This version lasted for less than two years before it was completely revamped. The intro room and second chamber have a couple minutes missing, but this is the most complete video of it that I’ve seen online.
Poseidon was voiced by famed actor, Jeremy Irons.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had the pleasure of animating Poseidon for roughly half his scenes, as well as the whales, manta rays, and sea turtles that bring him in. Animating to Jeremy Irons' voice is a treat. Fortunately, I was able to travel to Florida for a wedding and see this in person before they changed it. I was sad my kids could not see it on a recent visit to the park.
You are very welcome! I'm sorry I didn't capture everything but I absolutely loved this show...You did an amazing job and I'm glad I have some sort of record of it to preserve its memory
@@Sketch105 so poseidon has the voice of scar from the lion king
Do you have details on the original script? Finding information on this version of the show is hard. Actually, I’ve been coming up with ideas for a spiritual successor to this attraction!
It’s a shame that Greek Mythology doesn’t get more representation in theme parks!
Thanks so much for uploading this, there was not very much of Jeremy Iron’s Poseidon on the promo that Universal released for Islands Of Adventure back in 1999, hearing more of his excellent performance makes me wish they had brought him back for some role in the revamp.
I truly thought this show was excellent, and granted we never met Poseidon till the end, Irons just brought gravitas to the role and made you believe in 1997 CGI lol.

@@Sketch105 It hasn't aged at all. Reboot holds up so why not this?
This version is leaps and bounds better than the current version. This version feels so epic and intimidating. The dialogue in this version is so mysterious and evokes so much more of a creepy tone. I wish this version stayed it had so much more imagination and thought put into it.
I remember it taking me a few visits to finally figure out that during the black out at the end a wall and false ceiling would quickly be lowered into place to give the effect of being transported back into the room before the water tunnel. I remember thinking "how the Hell did we get back here?" Why do they always have to ruin the best versions of a ride? Kinda like Journey to Imagination at Disney. If it is wonderful - don't try to fix it.
I wish I was able to see this original version, I was born in 2000 so unfortunately the only version in my life span is the updated version. I think this one is just more exciting overall than the current version that exists, also I like the concept of the Keeper and I think the newer versions screen effects with people in cheesy costumes has actually aged worse than the CGI in the original. I also think the narration overall is a lot better in the original. It’s a shame that the original was mostly received bad bc they advertised it in a way that made people think it was a ride and not a show
@@1992disney Hi, thank you for you’re response. I actually did watch videos on it and I know /why/ people didn’t like it, though thank you for giving me more details. I just personally think it is better than the final version, even though it clearly had problems as you said. I wish there was a way they could’ve kept the original version but update it slightly to fix these issues, but perhaps they weren’t willing to because they felt like they couldn’t.
@@DumasP They changed it so the guests can at least understand the plot a lot better and leave satisfied that way instead of trying to comprehend what they had witnessed like the original version. That was their intention.
@@1992disney Yes I understand!
Ah, Jeremy Irons as Poseidon, a great actor, he was also the voice of Scar from Disney's 1994 movie The Lion King
He voiced another evil brother in a sibling rivalry
A sibling rivalry with an evil sibling voiced by Jeremy Irons? That sounds kinda familiar to what happened in The Lion King!
Except the good brother wins this time.
Sounded like Tim Curry's voice
That’s interesting because I thought it was Tony Jay. The guy who voiced Judge Frollo.
One of my biggest regrets is that I never got to see this version of Poseidon's Fury. Will miss that water vortex!

I *LOVED* the original version of this attraction and I remember being *extremely* disappointed when I found out that they changed it. I don't even care that they're closing Poseidon's Fury now.

I love Poseidon’s Fury! And Universal just announced that they’re closing it forever, and I’m so sad about it. 😭 I miss the old Lost Continent. Such an integral part of my childhood.

@@elvingarcia3010 No thanks, I’d prefer to keep Lost Continent. There’s plenty of other places that Zelda/Hyrule could go.

I did this in 1999 and it was truly incredible!!!
Same

@@elvingarcia3010 Yes I know I was 11 years old when I went to that show with my Parents back in September of 1999 I remember it like it was yesterday
Apparently there was also a part at the end with the Keeper holding a lantern emerging from the darkness.
The performance at the end of this version is waaay better than the modern day one. Shame they didn't keep it

@@elvingarcia3010 Unconfirmed, bro.
I think i was a toddler and saw this show once and grew up with the second version. I only remember the old man in the beginning.
No creature is insufficient Poseidon, but in 10,000 years, you still haven't figured that out

That was the best one I remember going to that one when I was a little kid I sure miss it

Thanks for uploading this video. I actually miss seeing the original show sometimes. Especially since the original gave the whole "how did we get back to the second chamber?" feeling during my preteen years (until I figured it out after seeing the second version of this show).

The 2nd version wrecked that illusion.
with this version the name made a LOT more sense
I miss this attraction! It was always great to get out of the heat and sun. Also great for taking a break from all the thrill rides too. I always preferred this version over the changed one. Poseidon VS Zeus always made much more sense then Poseidon VS some random evil wizard.
Universal just keeps shooting themselves in every body part imaginable. Jaws...gone. Kongfrontation...gone. Earthquake/Disaster...gone. Twister...gone. Terminator...gone. Back to the Future...gone. Ghostbusters...gone. Backlot and tram tour...gone. Sinbad...gone. Dueling Dragons...gone. And now Poseidon's Fury...gone.
The whole vibe of The Lost Continent in its heyday was incredible. You had Dueling Dragons with its marvelously themed Merlin/Arthurian queue. You had the Sinbad show, which was admittedly cheesy, but still fun. You had Mythos back when it was a "5-star" restaurant. You had the various Arabian shops and even a smattering of small magic shows. And then you had Poseidon's Fury version 1, which was SO SO much better than the Goddard-helmed retheme with Lord Darkenon, a low-rent comic-book villain which completely ruined the spirit of the attraction.
Disney gets a lot of flak for not changing things up and riding on nostalgia, but Universal no longer has any nostalgia to provide a continuity of experience.
LORD DARKENON IS HOT THO
The only version that mattered. Long Live Keeper.
I wish Jeremy Irons is Megatron in my films!
So that main Poseidon was the first villain before the story was change and became a hero and that a new villain take his place. I did that attraction show in 2008 when poseidon was the hero I was there with my family when we went in vacation.
Oh wow this is a way cooler finale.
I just found out that the Oracle was voiced by Katey Sagal. This isn't confirmed but super cool if true.

What was the sound followed by screaming at 9:17? Was there once a dropping floor effect like at Twister?
The final scene was all pyro and water effects going off, so I believe the water splashed into the audience at that point.
I can answer this because I got to see this version just once back in 2000. There was a light and steam effect that erupted under the audience's feet. The floor was completely stationary but the effect was very cool nonetheless.
@@An1mag1qu3 Oh that's what the glass blocks in the floor are there for!
This version is so obviously superior what the hell? I've been on the new version in 2012 and it was very underwhelming

I feel like the change from this to the later version was because the villainization of Poseidon was seen as offensive to people who love Poseidon.
This is sadly closing on May 10th

The second version is better honestly. Lord Darkenon is one of my two IOA crushes (the other being Doctor Doom.)

Why did they change it?
I sure had trouble understanding what was being said.

Maybe this should have been a Christian type show, where Poseidon is the devil who tricks us down into hell and Zeus is Jesus who saves us.
Lol 😂
