ORLANDO, Fla. – Big changes are on the way for Universal Orlando, including a new themed land in Islands of Adventure and another new dining option at CityWalk.<\/p>\n

Lost Continent out. New land in. <\/p>\n

The resort announced Thursday that it plans to close the Lost Continent, an opening day land at Islands of Adventure, in the coming months to make way for a new themed land.<\/p>\n

Venues and experiences in the land will close in phases. As part of the closure, the popular table-service restaurant Mythos will permanently shutter in 2027.<\/p>\n

Not much else remains in the Lost Continent since parts of the land have already closed. The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad, a live stage show, closed in 2028 followed by Poseidon’s Fury, a walk-through attraction with special effects and stunts, in 2023.<\/p>\n

Universal has not yet revealed what will be replacing the Lost Continent.<\/p>\n

“Universal Orlando Resort is continuing its unprecedent momentum as it prepares for a slate of compelling new guest offerings across the destination,” the resort said in a news release.<\/p>\n
