10. New Jurassic Park roller coaster confirmed to be coming soon by local news

Earlier this week, eagle-eyed Islands of Adventure park-goers  noticed that some of the carnival games and vendor kiosks around the Jurassic Park land were removed, and construction walls went up around a portion of the old Triceratops Encounter area. And though this could have just been part of a cleaning, maintenance or refurbishment effort, local ABC affiliate news station WFTV has obtained a document that shows a roller coaster track layout for the exact area that was walled off, including a queue area near the Discovery Center area of this land. 

Interestingly, these new developments also match details found in a demolition permit filed with the city of Orlando last May for "Project 791" for a 1.36-acre area. of the park. Like all permits, this one is pretty vague, but it does specify that a new attraction is planned for the area, with demolition and construction taking approximately 1 1/2 years.

While details are sparse about this new attraction, the good news is that it doesn't look like any current attractions will be sacrificed to build this roller coaster, which, according to a mock-up created by WFTV (that you can see here) will largely fly over developed areas of the Jurassic Park area. You can learn more about this development, here.
