Congratulations Harakiri for winning his first ever spotlight, with his adaptation of the popular Orlando theme park with Harakiri's Islands of Adventure. Pretty original name if you ask me. Advancing way beyond the days of Rat_King, and past parks such as Drake Coast and Gnotlidge Hills Theme Park, Harakiri has gradually advanced with each of his parks until finally reaching the next plateau with this incredible spotlight park. Harakiri has won the spotlight...NE is dead.

No IOA park is complete without its Ports of Call entrance, and HIOA is no different. While the style of the entrance is much different, featuring very wide paths and great color schemes using beautiful tans and greens, along with one of Harakiri's trademark cafe's sitting to the side. To the right, Merlinwood, a medievel area that can also be found in Schuessler's IOAH (not HIOA). This one is much different, and features a family coaster in "Satyr's Spin" along with an excellent 3D attraction, to go with some of the best architecture in the park. There is new version of Marvel Super Hero Island, featuring a new (and improved) version of the Incredible Hulk in the "Human Torch", a launched floorless monster that sprawls out of Marvel Super Hero Island, and into the giant Jurassic Park area, which not only sits on the outskirts of the park, but extends all the way into the middle island which features a very fitting liquid coaster: "Jurassic Park: The Ride". There is the outstanding kids area in Bedrock, themed perfectly to the Flintstones, and featuring a great assortment of rides highlighted by this park's own version of the Swing Thing, "Bedrock Blaster". Finally, one of my favorite themed areas of all time, the new and improved Lost Continent area of the park, featuring "The Tempest", an absolutely perfect B&M Flying Coaster built by Evil WME. Definitely one of my favorite rides of all time, that resides in one my favorite areas of all time. Excellent job Harakiri, amazing park...Now back to the NBA All Star Game!!
