A Popular Universal Restaurant Is Officially Extinct!

There are so many changes going on in the theme park world these days!

Islands of Adventure

Over at Universal, new coasters are underway, and classic shows are getting some major updates. An entire land even closed, and we’re still waiting on what new items could be coming! Now, it seems like a long-time restaurant is going extinct very soon.

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky, Thunder Falls Terrace. The long-time Jurassic Park-themed quick service is officially becoming extinct.

Thunder Falls Terrace

After checking the Universal website, the Thunder Falls Terrace page has disappeared, and Team Members have shared that today is the last day the quick service will be open. While we are sad we didn’t get to swing by the themed establishment one more time, we are pretty eager to see what’s taking its place!

Inside Thunder Falls Terrace

In May, Universal confirmed that Thunder Falls Terrace would be closing, but they never shared an official date other than “this summer.” What we do know is this restaurant will be transforming into an all-new dining concept, which will become the new signature full-service restaurant in Islands of Adventure. The change was prompted by the official closure of Mythos in the Lost Continent. Mythos is closing in 2027, but Universal hasn’t shared an official closing date.

The rethemed Thunder Falls Terrace will reopen sometime in 2027, but we have yet to see an official date from Universal. There are still plenty of quick service options in Islands of Adventure to dine at in the meantime. Some of our favorites include Green Eggs and Ham, the Three Broomsticks, and The Burger Digs (which is still Jurassic-themed). We can’t wait to see what replaces Thunder Falls Terrace once it finally reopens in 2027. Be sure to keep following DFB for more theme park news, updates, and more.
