Islands of Adventure: Late Summer Update (PART 3)


Welcome to PART 3 of this Islands of Adventure update (PART 2 can be found HERE).

We'll now continue to check on the progress that has been made in the future train station of the park:

Seeing Dragon Challenge with no dueling trains makes us sad:






Moving on to Jurassic Park:


The Watering Hole:





Are these really considered snacks (we are referring to Universal's Dining Plan)?:



I hope these are actually considered entire meals, as a $9.00 snack seems too good to be true:



More photos of this great land:





We found it to be interesting that the Thunder Falls Terrace now also sells burgers. Are they planning on shutting down The Burger Digs to transform it into the once-rumored dark ride? One can dream...








The big Triceratops fossil has a new sign now.

  1. Thunder falls has had burgers for years. They are not new

  2. Yes Anonymous, you are right. We were just mking an assumption there, though. There was a rumor a few months ago saying that a new dark-ride could have opened in the Jurassic Park Discovery Center, so we thought if they could just leave Thunder Falls and close The Burger Digs to make that project a reality.

  3. If there is going to be a new attraction I hope they'll keep the current Thunder Falls building and make it part of the line or something, it looks so beautiful.
    But there is also a rumour the lower part of the visitors centre would get a ride like the first movie. When they keep the restaurant upstairs and enclose the middle part it should be big enough and have a great view over the lake.

  4. It's a shame that the coasters don't duel anymore. I remember when this opened and it was so cool to see them duel. :(
