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.
Universal Mega Movie Parade, CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular active. yesterday ran 1 point busier than predicted, and today's live wait-time data (avg ~17 min, peak 70 on Escape from Gringotts) is running moderate-to-high, so this late-run score is nudged up slightly. afternoon storms are likely and may cause temporary ride closures, with the storm chance itself trimming the weekday score slightly.
