Question by FoiRee: What new-ish (since 2005) attractions or changes are there in Orlando Florida?
Hi, I’m visiting Orlando (Florida) this August-September for my birthday, and was just wondering what new attractions have been introduced since the last time I went last in 2005, and what other big changes there are (for example, the Simpsons ride opening, introduction of new park rules, etc)
Any advice or news will be much appreciated 🙂 thanks!

The Harry Potter theme park will be open. . . . maybe there’s some new attraction in Disney (the whole enchilada btw, like Epcot, Magic Kingdom, the water parks, etc.

For Islands of Adventure: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – note that most people think this is either a ride or a whole theme park, it is not..it’s just a section of Islands of Adventure rethemed to Harry Potter…there will be a new ride there, though. Triceratops Encounter/Triceratops Discovery Trail closed.
Universal Studios: Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit rollercoaster, Simpsons ride. I think when you went, there was a ride called “Earthquake” or something like that…they renamed it “Disaster!: A Major Motion Picture Ride…Starring You!” – it has a different pre-show now, and has some new ride elements, not sure what they did new there since it seemed the same to me (except for the pre-show) from when I went when I was younger. I think there’s a new animal show there too (a couple new shows).
Seaworld: Manta Rollercoaster (and there’s also a kiddie coaster in the kiddie section).
Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Expedition Everest rollercoaster
Disney’s Magic Kingdom: The did rehab on Space Mountain, so there’s a new interactive queue and some other things were redone (improved themeing, retracking, although the ride has the same layout as before)
Disney’s Hollywood Studios: American Idol Experience
Disney’s Epcot Center: “Living Seas” is now “The Seas with Nemo & Friends”, Kim Possible World Showcase
Most parks had several renovations and retheming of rides, as they need to keep something new coming to the parks so returning visitors don’t get bored…though I’m not an expert on Orlando parks, so I cannot name all of them.
I know Disney’s Magic Kingdom is partly under construction because they are expanding – not sure how much or which part of the park is closed off…it may not effect you too much.
I must confess that I mostly keep up with “rollercoaster” updates, so I’m not 100% sure if there are new rides or shows from the last time you were there.

“Feast upon the shit sandwiches Life fixes for you each day, and don’t attempt to live life on your own terms!”
Answer by quantumrift
I think it’s really stupid.
It’s like “Well, let life beat you around and just accept it.” instead of “Grab Life By The Horns”….
Or “Do something with your life”..
If I lived “life on life’s terms” I probably would be living in a double wide, no teeth, lots of tattoos, drive a blue-smoke-belching hooptie, and scrounging cans out of dumpsters when i wasn’t working at part-time at the Quickie Mart…
