Overview
- The Notice of Commencement for Lot 6A, filed Wednesday, names Garmendale Engineering and lists equipment installation work tied to Islands of Adventure.
- Public records reviewed by reporters show related Notices of Commencement and amended filings stretching back to 2025, indicating planning and construction on the parcel has been active for more than a year.
- Garmendale is known for Omnimover-style dark rides and other ride systems, a fact that has driven analyst and fan speculation that the work could support a Pokémon Snap–style attraction, but the permits do not state any specific IP.
- Universal Destinations & Experiences has confirmed Pokémon attractions will come to U.S. parks, which is the only official company statement connecting Pokémon to Universal’s global plans.
- The demolition of the Lost Continent and the parcel’s size give Universal room for a major new land, so watchers should watch future permits, contractor filings, and official Universal announcements for confirmation and construction timing.
