Jurassic Park River Adventure — Refurbishment
Jurassic Park River Adventure is closed for an extended refurbishment expected to incorporate Jurassic World theming. As of late July 2026, Universal's official schedule lists November 20, 2026 as the reopening date (moved a day later from the previous November 19 target), though the closure has already been extended multiple times over the year and this date could still move. No testing or preview dates announced yet.
Sunday at Islands of Adventure, a typical moderate late-August weekend day with no major events of its own.
