Overview
- Demolition crews began visibly tearing down the former Sindbad Theater, a change guests could see in the park on Tuesday as portions of the structure were actively dismantled.
- Construction walls have gone up around the Mystic Fountain, signaling that another longtime interactive element may be prepared for removal or rework.
- Universal confirmed earlier tree clearing and described current work as site preparation to make the area ready for future development but has not announced what will replace the land.
- Mythos Restaurant will stay open through 2027, giving visitors a limited window to experience one of the park’s signature dining locations before it closes as part of the project.
- The work completes a years-long shrinking of the original, IP-free Lost Continent after the Harry Potter expansion and earlier attraction closures in 2018 and 2023, and it has prompted strong fan reaction and widespread speculation about franchise-driven replacements.
