Overview
- A newly filed Universal permit describes “renovation of an existing commercial use” spanning seven acres in the Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure.
- The plan will reportedly include demolition across at least five acres, indicating groundwork for a major redevelopment rather than a minor refresh.
- Universal public relations director Kristen Smith said construction activity will occur in the coming months as site planning for potential future developments.
- The land has been largely dormant since the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad closed in 2018 and Poseidon’s Fury closed in 2023.
- The step aligns with Universal’s broader expansion strategy for its Orlando parks, while speculation about Zelda, Pokémon, or The Lord of the Rings remains unconfirmed.
