Demolition of This Universal Orlando Land Is Moving Along FAST

[Disney4me]

We’ve only got a few more months to experience the popular Mythos Restaurant at Islands of Adventure in Universal Orlando, but for now, you’ll be treated to tons of construction around the land while you eat.

This is all part of Universal’s plan to retheme The Lost Continent part of the park, though it hasn’t yet been revealed what it’ll be rethemed to. Mythos Restaurant is set to close in 2027, but a large portion of this area of the park has been under demolition now for months. Thanks to our friend @bioreconstruct on X (formerly known as Twitter), we just got an updated look at what’s going on behind the walls, and WOW is it a sight to see.

The walls have been up around the former Poseidon’s Fury attraction for what feels like forever now, and since the actual entrance to the attraction is so much closer to the building, we haven’t been able to see what’s been going on. Based on these aerial views, though, we can clearly see that a lot of work has been done.

Not much demolition is happening near Mythos Restaurant just yet, which makes sense, since the restaurant is expected to be fully operational for at least the next five months. However, we can see a small area towards the back of the restaurant where the guests’ walking path has been severely limited due to walls on both sides. While we can’t see exactly what the closure near the restaurant is for just yet, we know it wouldn’t be there without good reason.

When you’re in the park, the fencing around the restaurant and the former Poseidon’s Fury attraction is pretty high, which is another reason we appreciate this bird’s-eye view so much.

It does look like most of the ground-level theming of Poseidon’s Fury has been removed, which is sad for what once was, but does mean we’re a few steps closer to whatever is meant to be on the way.

Taking a look at the back of the Poseidon’s Fury theatre, we can also see just how much has been gutted from the building. In fact, it looks like the entire back half of the building has just been torn open, and Universal is, quite literally, just digging everything out. It does allow us to see that there is room to expand the building, if needed, and since the entire thing hasn’t been torn down, we’re wondering if that’s what the plan is.
