Permit filed for major Jurassic Park Additions

Islands of Adventure is widely known for it's Jurassic Park section. Rumors have been going around about a new addition coming to the Jurassic section. A permit was filed on July 26 for remodeling.  

Earlier this year, new themed games came to the park, but the permit was the first concrete evidence of the remodeling.  In the permit, Islands of Adventure filed with the City of Orlando, for a construction trailer on Adventure Way, also known as the staging area for project 609, project 146, and project 772,  for about 18 months.

With the 18 month time line, we are expecting to have this newly updated Jurassic Park section to be opened some time in early to mid 2015.

KHS&S was the construction company who worked on the first Jurassic Park section, and it is likely that they will be called in again for the expansion of the park. KHS&S is known for their specialization of theme park construction. KHS&S has also worked on Cars Land and the Aquatica at SeaWorld. 

With Universal Orlando opening the new Diagon Alley section next summer, the Jurassic Park addition is not the only new thing going on in Florida theme parks. It is a competition between Universal Orlando and Islands of Adventure on which addition will get the most visitors. May the best theme park win!
