6. New Museum of Illusions coming to ICON Park

ICON Park officially announced this week that the all-new "Museum of Illusions" will be joining the entertainment complex's other attractions (like The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE Orlando, the StarFlyer, etc.) this summer, and will be replacing the former Skeletons museum, which closed earlier this month on January 10th. 

7. Universal teases Jurassic Park roller coaster announcement

We've known for quite some time that a Jurassic World-themed roller coaster is coming to Islands of Adventure, and though Universal hasn't formally announced this project, they teased its existence in a recent blog pst, telling guests to keep their "eyes peeled and ears to the ground for rumblings over in Jurassic Park", seemingly insinuating that an official announcement regarding this project could be coming soon! 

8. The Holy Land Experience rumored to be closing for good this spring

Orlando Weekly reports that the owners of The Holy Land Experience have hired a broker, which could mean that the park's financials are in dire enough shape that if a buyer isn't found soon they could close their doors until one is found, or shutter entirely if one is not procured in a timely manner, potentially as soon as this spring. 

No official statement about the future of the park (beyond the end of the theatrical productions) has been made, and a reporter for local news station MyNews 13 has said owners are currently refuting reports that the park is in imminent danger of closing. However, we doubt that is the full story, and we'll definitely be keeping an eye on how things develop at this niche park.
