Demolition and site preparation are continuing in The Lost Continent at Universal Islands of Adventure, with work visible both beside Mythos Restaurant and at the former Poseidon’s Fury attraction site.
New aerial images from bioreconstruct show portions of Mythos’ pink artificial-rock façade removed near its waterfront bridge. Construction activity is concentrated on one side of the restaurant’s waterfront, where an excavator, broken concrete and rockwork, and protective black tarps are visible. A floating yellow barrier follows the shoreline around the work zone.
Mythos remains open to guests, as does the waterfront area on the opposite side of the restaurant. Steel sections are staged along the narrow space between the restaurant and lagoon as crews prepare for retaining-wall work. Universal has said Mythos is scheduled to close permanently in 2027, though it has not announced a closing date.
Across the guest walkway, the former Poseidon’s Fury building, plaza, and Treasures of Poseidon gift shop have been demolished. The cleared site is now being filled and graded with sand and soil, with heavy equipment including excavators, a bulldozer, and rollers visible in the area.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Universal Orlando tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Construction materials including crushed stone, drainage structures, pipes, and gates have also been staged nearby. The work includes a new service road intended to provide access to temporary First Aid trailers and backstage areas as redevelopment proceeds.
Several structures remain farther into the former Lost Continent footprint, closer to the former Eighth Voyage of Sindbad theater. Guests can still use the surviving section of the land to reach The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. Universal has not announced what will replace The Lost Continent or any change to guest routing through the area.
