Men in Black: Alien Attack — Refurbishment
Men in Black: Alien Attack at Universal Studios Florida was closed for scheduled maintenance from June 1 through June 17, 2026, when it reopened with updated effects including improved audio, new fog in the first scene, new aliens, and updated targets.
Universal Mega Movie Parade
Summer parade featuring more than a dozen floats bringing iconic Universal films to life, including Jaws, Ghostbusters, Jurassic World, and Illumination's Minions. Included with park admission.
More infoCineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular
Summer nighttime lagoon show featuring cinematic projections and soundtracks from blockbuster Universal films. Included with park admission as part of the summer entertainment lineup.
More infoHorror Make-Up Show — Reimagining
The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida closed May 12, 2026 for a reimagining that will blend classic and modern horror properties. Universal's timeline has since slipped from the original "Winter 2026" target to Winter 2027; February 28, 2027 is an estimate for the end of that window and not a confirmed reopening date.
Po Live! — Extended Closure
Po Live!, the interactive Kung Fu Panda character experience in DreamWorks Land, remains closed through an extended refurbishment even after neighboring Po's Kung Fu Training Camp play area reopened in early July. Universal has said it returns "Winter 2026"; December 1 is an estimate and not yet confirmed.
Summer weekend with all major Florida school districts on break; expect steady mid-to-high crowds throughout the day. Mega Movie Parade and CineSational lagoon show running daily — evening entertainment keeps guests in the park late. 60% storm chance — afternoon thunderstorms likely to temporarily thin outdoor queues.
