Overview

• Industry outlets report construction permits tied to demolishing the Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure, with no formal Universal announcement yet.
• The Legend of Zelda, The Lord of the Rings, and a Seuss Landing expansion centered on the Grinch are cited as leading contenders, described as unconfirmed plans.
• A Seuss/Whoville buildout is framed as a family-forward option that could add toddler-friendly capacity next to the existing Seuss Landing.
• Additional franchises circulate in rumor coverage, including Scooby-Doo, Sonic, Pokémon, Wicked, Percy Jackson, and a Nickelodeon concept, each with licensing hurdles.
• The redevelopment talk follows Epic Universe’s IP-led debut, as Universal pursues rapid expansion supported by permits and insider reporting rather than official details.
