Lost Continent???

[cbdmhgp]

im just curious but what does this island have to do with Universal? im not saying that in a bad way im just wondering why it was chosen to be an island. was it in a universal movie or did that just randomly put an island based on greek gods and goddesses?? any response would be helpful thank you!!!

it's a fair question, I've never thought that deeply about it.

No, the Lost Continent isn't from a movie,.and it's actually supposed to be a mix of several types of themes, greek/arabian/medieval all together. This is one of the few places at IOA they can really get to diversify the attractions without it having to fit a certain specific movie/comic/etc.

The theming of this island is just incredible.
I've found these pics when the island was under construction

Most islands at IOA are not based on Movies, but based on stories. The only exception is Jurassic Park; Speilberg, quite rightly, wanted a place to put the River Adventure.

Marvel Comics...based on stories
Seues...Based on stories...
Lost Continent....based on the earliest stories (Camelot, Greek Legends, Arabian Nights etc)
Toon Lagoon - Based on comics, too.

Hope this helps!
