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

[Jwhee]

Crazy to think the Lost Continent is now without a single attraction.

A completely dead area of the park. Like a dying shopping mall.

The Lost Continent is my favorite island. Watching it slowly fall apart these last few years kills me.

Now might be a good time to ask: do we know who played Poseidon in this version of the show? We know Jeffrey Combs was Darkenon, and Jeremy Irons voiced the original Poseidon, but who’s the other guy?

Look on the bright side Poseidon fans, we live in the timeline where Poseidon's Fury outlasted Splash Mountain.

Liza Minnelli, too.

I wonder how they could make a Grinch expansion work that has Whoville (the Grinch one, not the Horton one) be set outside of the Christmas season?

A land themed to Christmas year round wouldn't be a problem really. That's the theme of Whoville. Just like Hogsmede has snow year round. And as a side bonus, it would allow them to move the Christmas shop from the main entry area and use that for something else.

So you’d rather have a Christmas land over Zelda??

Well I have no interest in Zelda, so yes.

But I don't think either property really requires the entirety of Lost Continent, so I don't know that they can't co-exist.

Zelda needs every square inch they have

Maybe I missed it but was Zelda the only thing every rumored to replace LC ?

At this point flatten it all and get it over with. Is it too late to ask for a PF dark ride? Keep the facade and rebuild everything behind it.

It's going to be real sad when they tear it down. First the Dueling Dragon statues and soon this.

 

[belloq87]

They must be restocking in batches of 20, or something, because it's gone again!

 

[Ken96]

I personally don’t want to lose the facade, but if they flatten the entry area(statue pieces) and add on to the show building, that would make a pretty massive new structure.

And of course taking over Sinbad too.

FWIW, supposedly today they went through the queue to begin taking down everything that can be salvaged/reused (signs, line fencing, etc.).

After nearly 24 years, the Temple of Poseidon was permanently sealed as Poseidon's Fury officially closed.

I was also thinking of Whoville being covered in snow year round like Hogsmeade, but no Christmas decor outside the holiday season.

So… they’re going to flatten the building and queue? I was wondering if they are planning to make a new LC-themed dark ride that uses both the Poseidon's Fury and the Sinbad building combined into one. If not, I would actually be fine with Zelda land, because while IOA is supposed to be themed to "stories" (mostly literature), one of its opening day rides is themed to a TV cartoon (Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls).

This was never official from Universal. Fans just made that connection themselves.

Here's to hoping that Mythos stays open for a while because despite LC being my favorite island, I've never eaten at Mythos lmao.

Also gotta check out Fire Eater's Grill and the Kebab House. Been wanting to try the food from there, but I either never have enough time or the lines are ridiculously long.
