Permits Point to Lost Continent Demolition at Universal Orlando Starting October 15, 2026

Overview

• Newly filed Notices of Commencement and related permits indicate demolition, grading, utilities, and hardscape work with an earliest start date of October 15, 2026.
• The filings and on-the-ground changes focus on The Lost Continent, an opening-day 1999 land that has already lost key attractions such as Poseidon’s Fury.
• Documents list PCL Construction Services as a contractor and reference Intamin Ltd., signaling large-scale work that could include a major ride system.
• Environmental monitoring requirements appear in the paperwork, which is typical for projects that disturb soil and manage runoff during demolition.
• Universal says site preparation is underway without naming a replacement, and fans continue to speculate about new IP as 2026 closures like the Jurassic Park River Adventure refurbishment reshape the guest experience.
