Islands of Adventure Update: Cat Not Spinning (PART 1)

Welcome to our newest photo-report, Orlando Theme Park News Readers!

Today we are going to take a look around Islands of Adventure to check out on the progress being done in the various areas that are currently under construction. As always, we will focus primarily on Jurassic Park and the train station, but we will also take a general look around the rest of the park.

Moving on, we noticed that the sign of the Green Eggs and Ham looks good on one side:



But the other is just plain awful:







Walking around the rest of Seuss Landing:







The Lost Continent:







So many beautiful vistas:





This looked like a new addition, or maybe we never noticed it before:
