Overview
- Universal Orlando, which announced the changes Thursday, outlined phased closures and reworks across Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios Florida, and CityWalk.
- In Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure, venues will shut in stages to clear space for a new themed area, with the award‑winning Mythos Restaurant set to close in 2027 and no replacement land yet disclosed.
- Thunder Falls Terrace in the Jurassic Park area will close this summer and reopen in 2027 as a full‑service concept that becomes the park’s new signature restaurant.
- At Universal Studios Florida, the Horror Make‑Up Show will close on May 12 for a rewritten version that returns later in 2026, and at CityWalk the Hot Dog Hall of Fame will close in July to make way for Fat One’s Hot Dogs & Italian Ice.
- These moves track with a wider build‑out across the resort that includes new CityWalk venues and the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster planned for 2027.
