After months of refurbishments, a beloved Universal Orlando Resort attraction has finally made its way back to Universal Studios Florida.

Universal has been in the midst of refurbishing several attractions at both of its theme parks over the last few months. Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida has been closed since January and is expected to open later this summer. All three water rides at Universal’s Islands of Adventure– Jurassic Park River Adventure, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls, and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges– underwent scheduled maintenance and Poseidon’s Fury has reopened after nearly two years of closure.

Now, another attraction has made its way back to Universal Orlando after being closed for the last couple of months.

Universal Orlando’s Cinematic Celebration, an epic light-up show that immerses all of Universal Studios Florida, has made its return. The show, which takes place on select nights, was shown Monday night for the first time since February.

The water features in the show went under refurbishment a couple of months ago and the night capping entertainment was put on hold during Universal’s Mardi Gras Celebration. With Mardi Gras officially finished on Sunday evening, however, Cinematic Celebration came back into place. While we’ll definitely miss Mardi Gras, it’s great to have the beloved nighttime show back, presumably for the rest of the summer until Halloween Horror Nights make its appearance this fall.

Universal Orlando’s official description of Cinematic Celebration reads:

Epic Cinema Under the Stars.

This epic show lights up select nights with a celebration of music, water and light that takes you into the movies like never before. You’ll see and hear roaring dinosaurs from Jurassic World, feel the adrenaline rush of high-speed cars from Fast & Furious, watch the mischievous antics of the Minions from Illumination’s Despicable Me, and so much more.
