If you’re heading to Universal Orlando Resort in February, a little heads-up could save you some disappointment at the turnstiles. Late winter is one of the busiest times for routine maintenance, and this year, several popular attractions across the resort will be temporarily offline—some briefly, others for much longer.
February has long been one of Universal’s go-to months for ride tune-ups, when crowds are lighter and the parks can prep rides for the busy spring season ahead. Still, with seven attractions affected across multiple parks, it’s worth knowing what might be off the table so expectations stay realistic.
According to theme parks blog AllEars.net, One of the most noticeable closures continues to be Jurassic Park River Adventure, which went offline in early January and isn’t expected to reopen until late fall. It’s a long break, but not an uncommon one for a major water attraction that needs extensive upkeep.

The Hogwarts Express—which normally lets guests travel seamlessly between Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida—will be closed for a stretch in mid-February. During that time, park-hoppers will need to exit through CityWalk and walk between parks instead of hopping aboard the train.
There are a few shorter closures sprinkled in as well. Revenge of the Mummy is scheduled for a brief refurbishment at the start of the month, while Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast will be down for just a single day. These quick pauses are usually about fine-tuning rather than major overhauls.

Even Universal’s newest park isn’t immune. Over at Epic Universe, Fyre Drill is slated for a short closure during the first week of February—another seasonal move that’s common for water-based rides during cooler weather.
And for guests hoping to sneak in a visit to Universal Volcano Bay, two of the park’s popular round-raft rides will remain closed through mid-February, which could limit options on chillier days.
None of this means February is a bad time to visit—far from it. Crowds tend to be manageable, wait times are often shorter, and most headliners are still operating as usual. But knowing what’s closed ahead of time can help you plan smarter, pivot faster, and focus on what is open—rather than standing in front of a closed ride wondering what happened.
If nothing else, consider it a reminder that even theme park trips benefit from a little flexibility—and maybe an extra Butterbeer stop to make up for it.
