Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure park opened in 1999 with a large expansion hole right in the back of the park. At the time, the plan was to build a simulator ride themed to a Helicopter tour of Isla Nublar, and possibly an attack from it's inhabitants. In the image above, released before the park opened it's gates, is the Jurassic Park Discovery Center in the foreground, with the striking building in the background (along with a helicopter landing pad on top).
Today, this expansion space (outlined in blue) is being used by Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, seen under construction (
Bing Maps). It's not clear how big the building would have been (often, artwork never tells the whole story), but there is a space on the other side of the park While that plot of land is smaller, it might mean one day, guests could take off on a helicopter tour of their very own.
