A Notice of Commencement filed in Orange County lists Garmendale Engineering Limited of Ilkeston, England for an Equipment Install at Universal City. Every Lost Continent update so far has been about tearing things down. This one might point the other way, though the filing never names the land.
Universal said in May that Thunder Falls Terrace would close this summer to become the new signature restaurant at Islands of Adventure, but never named a date. WDW News Today reports it seems the Jurassic Park counter-service spot quietly served its last guests on Sunday, July 19.
New construction walls have gone up directly in front of Mythos Restaurant, and the Lost Continent restrooms have closed, leaving just four venues open as Universal tears down one of Islands of Adventure's six original 1999 lands.

As Universal prepares to redevelop The Lost Continent, the beloved and award-winning Mythos will close permanently by 2027.
