Universal is developing a new service road amid demolition of The Lost Continent at Universal Islands of Adventure, aerial photos by bioreconstruct<\/a> show.<\/p>\n

Lost Continent Demolition
\n\"Service<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The Treasures of Poseidon gift shop was demolished<\/a>, leaving just a stone wall around plants near the construction walls. Bioreconstruct\u2019s photo on the right is Treasures of Poseidon prior to demolition.<\/p>\n

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

The store operated as the gift shop for Poseidon\u2019s Fury, which was demolished earlier this summer<\/a>. Crews are now preparing the large empty site for future development. Some steel next to a puddle is the remains of the gift shop, while concrete debris is near the edge of the site.<\/p>\n

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

The former Sindbad theater was also demolished<\/a>. That site has various supplies and trailers for crew members, including a square of green trailers for a temporary First Aid location.<\/p>\n

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

In bioreconstruct\u2019s above photo, a yellow arrow points at the current First Aid station. As we previously reported<\/a>, the current First Aid building will be demolished. Between the buildings, crews are creating a new service road for access to the temporary First Aid trailers and backstage areas. This will replace the existing road on the right.<\/p>\n

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

At the back of the Poseidon\u2019s Fury demolition site, the new retaining wall<\/a> has been extended, running parallel with a ramp into the lagoon.<\/p>\n

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

Behind Mythos Restaurant, a yellow barrier is in place in the water, ready to catch debris during future demolition in the area. Mythos is set to close permanently next year.<\/p>\n
