Overview

• Universal filed the Project 555 permit on September 10, authorizing demolition across 4.9 acres of theme-park site including retail, show and attraction structures.
• Reporters mapped the permit footprint to nearly all of the remaining Lost Continent area, with Mythos restaurant and the First Aid/Health Services building appearing to be excluded.
• A Universal spokesperson said construction activity will begin in the coming months in Lost Continent as part of site planning to ready the site for any future developments.
• Universal has not detailed what will replace the area, which previously included The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad and Poseidon’s Fury, closed in 2018 and 2023 respectively.
• Fans and specialty outlets are speculating about possible new concepts, but Universal has made no announcements as leadership continues to reference broader expansion plans.
