Fast & Furious: Supercharged — Final Rides
Universal Orlando announced that Fast & Furious: Supercharged permanently closes August 17, 2026, with the last rides on August 16. The 2018 screen-based attraction is being replaced by the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (opening 2027, replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit's slot in the lineup announcement). The ride was never a strong draw, so expect a modest farewell bump rather than Kumba-scale crowds.
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.
Sunday at Universal Studios Florida, in peak Florida summer, as feeder districts head back to school. Final weekend for Fast & Furious: Supercharged (last rides August 16) — expect a modest farewell draw at that attraction, not a park-wide surge.
