Construction walls have officially gone up in The Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure, signaling that long-anticipated changes to the land are now imminent.
While Universal has yet to make a formal announcement regarding specific details, the company previously confirmed in late 2025 that plans were underway, stating they were preparing The Lost Continent “for any future developments.”
Currently, construction walls block access to the former courtyard of The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad show. The walls feature graphics of random Lost Continent iconography, with Universal not tipping their hand as to what the future holds for the area.
Additional walls are expected in the coming weeks, though Universal has not announced an official “last day” for The Lost Continent at this time.
Recently, All Hallows Boutique and Henna Tattoo & Psychic Reading closed their locations in The Lost Continent and relocated to Port of Entry.
Opening in 1999, The Lost Continent was one of the six lands that opened with Islands of Adventure. In 2010, much of the Merlinwood area of The Lost Continent was rethemed to become part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, and Dueling Dragons was rebranded as Dragon Challenge before its closure in 2017. The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad officially closed in 2018, and Poseidon’s Fury followed suit in 2023, leaving only a handful of shops, snack stands, and the Mythos restaurant still operating.
