The Future of Lost Continent

[Parkscope Joe]

My notion is the PF show building will stay and be gutted for a dark ride which is why this land will open sometime in 2027.

Even if this could happen I don't think it would make anyone happy.

I say this with love and empathy and similar feelings towards it all, but people have to start accepting this a complete demo. Pokémon will look extremely different here.

Out with the (m)old, in with the new!

If the area will be a demo, my guess is this will be the 2029 UOR addition.

So if we're keeping tabs:

2026: Off year
2027: F&F Coaster
2028: Potter EU expansion.
2029: Pokemon
2030: Simpsons replacement (Maybe Wicked)

So excited for Pokemon.

2026: new Horror Makeup Show & refreshed JPRA

2026: new Horror Makeup Show & refreshed JPRA

I believe the horror makeup redo has been postponed indefinitely, at least according to folks who spoke with TMs anyway.

I have said this before but I will miss the Lost Continent ambiance. I absolutely loved the facade of Poseidon. The waterfalls, creeks, and all of it was so well done. I don't really know anything about Pokemon, to be fully transparent, but I hope that it lends itself to a similar ambiance with waterfalls and trees. I don't really want another concrete jungle.

Super Nintendo World at Epic feels like a concrete jungle, although part of that is understandable since we are in the castle. The Donkey Kong area could have used some more trees or foliage but that is just my opinion.

Really feels like Epic is going to need the SNW expansion pad to start moving by 2030. Or good bye to AP getting extended to EU

I can't even imagine the insane crowds that are going to come from Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Velocicoaster being directly next to each other. At least it might help with the pressure on Wizarding World/Hagrids?

I think IOA will simply be forever busy.

 

[DOOMBOT]

I hope so, otherwise they're gonna have to pay those fees.

Can we start a Gofundme for them? I mean $75.55, in this economy?

Another construction permit, expiration date of March 2029, makes a lot more sense than Pokemon being done for 2027.

That’s an awful fast turnaround time. I understand that things generally move faster in Florida, but an entire tear down of LC and opening of a new land in just a year and a half? Can they do it??

I mean if Lost Continent is razed this year, that's at least 2 years of development for a new land from the ground-up, possibly 3 years if walls go up soon (which is seeming pretty likely).

Makes me nervous about a KidZone level of quality output

Nintendo and Game Freak definitely wouldn't allow that, I wouldn't worry.
