Minor construction projects continue in The Lost Continent at Universal Islands of Adventure as Universal prepares for something new.<\/p>\n

The Lost Continent Bridge\"Minor\"Minor<\/a><\/p>\n

The bridge connecting The Lost Continent and Seuss Landing was refurbished late last year<\/a>. Work isn\u2019t quite complete, however. New additions are a pair of L-shaped elements with dangling lanterns.<\/p>\n

\"The\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The lanterns fit the theming of The Lost Continent, but could also be made to match whatever new attraction is coming to the area. Last month, Universal filed a Notice of Commencement<\/a> for a new Intamin ride in the area. Intamin developed two fan-favorite Islands of Adventure coasters: Hagrid\u2019s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jurassic World VelociCoaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The lanterns are near the center of the bridge. Scaffolding remains on the outside of the bridge near The Lost Continent.<\/p>\n

The scaffolding may be for continued work on the bridge or the nearby rockwork.<\/p>\n

Poseidon\u2019s Fury\"Water\"Water<\/a><\/p>\n

Water has been drained from this pool outside Poseidon\u2019s Fury, the last remaining Lost Continent attraction which closed in May 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Construction walls went up<\/a> and down<\/a> and then up again<\/a> at the former Poseidon\u2019s Fury exit. But we have yet to see any major signs of construction in the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind the construction walls is a stack of more walls, indicating they might go up throughout The Lost Continent soon. After filing a permit for demolition across five acres of land, Universal confirmed last September that there would be \u201cconstruction activity<\/a>\u201d for \u201cfuture developments\u201d in The Lost Continent. They later filed a permit to renovate seven acres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The entrance archway for Poseidon\u2019s Fury remains, albeit without any signage. Only a couple of barriers block guests from entering. \u201cPoseidon\u2019s Fury\u201d signage was removed from the nearby fountain, but the subtitle \u201cEscape From The Lost City\u201d remains on a rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s still water running over the fountain and in the pool near the entrance.<\/p>\n

At the other end of The Lost Continent is the abandoned Eighth Voyage of Sindbad theater. The show closed shuttered in 2018 but\u00a0the set remains intact<\/a>. The theater has used as a rest area and \u201cCool Zone\u201d in the years since.<\/p>\n
