The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

For rehab?

I was about to post this too--no.

Not for rehab, it be gone, depending on the validity of the rumor. Despite that it just got refurbished.

Anyone hear about Poseidon's Fury closing? Seeing the date May 9th

For good, huh? Where’d you see the date?

Well damn. This would be crazy. Is there an issue with the building or something? I don’t think that land survives with 0 attractions.

 

[Jushin Thunder Liger]

Mythos counts as an attraction.

Universal better not take PF away from me yet lol

Wow, that's a surprise to say the least if it's true.
But then again, it feels like something might be in motion for them to close it for good so soon after a big refurb.

Dare I say Nintendo?........

We'll have to wait and see, but what I can confidently say is, with no Sinbad and potentially no PF, that's a good chunk of space.

Also, it's pretty clear Uni likes to keep the construction crews busy, and Villian-Con is gradually wrapping up...perhaps this could be the next project on the line-up?

It would be interesting if Lost Continent really is the next area to get revamped. It seems Universal really does give a lot more love to IoA than the Studios. Minions and KidZone will help, but it feels like Universal is hesitant to invest in a major attraction for that park.

I will not be pleased if Poseidon's Fury goes away.

And I will be actively annoyed if it becomes another space sitting unused for an indefinite period of time.

The Simpsons Ride is really the only major attraction that could get a replacement within the next 5-7 years. Universal isn't gonna touch Mummy, MIB, or Supercharged. Supercharged will be around for a while.

I left Fear Factor out, as I have a feeling it's going to lay dormant like the Toon Lagoon theater. KidZone isn't even getting a major attraction as far as I know. I understand it's a land for kids, but I think it should still get some sort of major attraction.

Lost Continent leaving within the next few months or year is not the correct move in my opinion. USF needs something big, as I don't think the Dreamworks KidZone or Villain-Con will help a whole lot.

My post kinda blends into the future of USF sorry lol.

I don't honestly mind Fear Factor sitting dormant for a while, because at LEAST it is used 2 months out of the year.

If they close Poseidon and it just sits empty.. that'd be a strange choice.

It's tradition! Universal leaving buildings abandoned is part of the nostalgia!

We can all agree that USF is the park that needs the investment... but a family-focused attraction for IOA wouldn't be the weirdest choice to fast-track with the attendance the park receives now.

Can confirm.

 

[GAcoaster]

Last day of operation May 9th “to prepare for exciting new offerings”

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Zelda speculation begins!

 

[00_Themeparkfan_00]

Can confirm.

Does it include just Poseidon's or The Lost Continent as a whole?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

This is a true shock for me, wasn't expecting anything IOA related for another few years.

 

[biggerboat16]

The PF show-building along with the Sinbad theater leaves a MASSIVE footprint, but I really wasn’t expecting another expansion of IOA after we just got hagrids and Velocicoaster! IMO the money would be better spent at USF

I guess this is what happens when Nintendo crushes box office records.

Sad to see it go though, façade is still legit impressive, and the main show is such a relic of the early park even if it isn't the original version.
