<\/a><\/p>\nThe \u201cEighth Voyage of Sindbad\u201d was a popular live-action stunt show at Universal\u2019s Islands of Adventure. The 1,700-seat theater is currently being torn down.<\/p>\n
Significant deconstruction can be seen in the above image, where a massive hole has been made in the side of the structure. A pile of twisted metal wreckage and debris can be seen on the right, as the facade and actual building structural elements are being torn down. <\/p>\n Tree clearing<\/a> in Lost Continent began last fall after Universal Orlando Resort confirmed upcoming\u00a0\u201cconstruction activity\u201d<\/a> in the land. Universal said this work was to \u201censure the area is ready for any future developments.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Eighth Voyage of Sindbad\u201d closed permanently in 2018 but the theater and sets stayed standing in full view of guests. Poseidon\u2019s Fury\u00a0closed permanently<\/a>\u00a0in early 2023. Construction walls have\u00a0gone up and down<\/a>\u00a0at the walkthrough attraction\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n Universal has not announced what land or attractions might replace Lost Continent.<\/p>\n Lost Continent was once twice its current size. In 2010, it was partially taken over by The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Its former coasters, Dueling Dragons and Flying Unicorn, were turned into Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff, respectively. Dragon Challenge closed permanently in 2017 and was replaced by Hagrid\u2019s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.<\/p>\n What do you hope to see in place of Lost Continent?
