It wouldn’t be a normal week without Universal Orlando Resort finding a clever way to take a shot at its competitors.

Universal Orlando has one of the most active Twitter accounts of any theme park giant in the country and the account consistently finds opportunities to share timely jokes and take subtle jabs at the competition, in particular Walt Disney World Resort.

This time, however, Universal took the jabbing almost 3,000 miles west with its target set on Disneyland Resort.

Disneyland officials confirmed today that the beloved attraction Tarzan’s Treehouse, which opened in 1999 to Disney Park Guests, would be permanently closing and would be reimagined with a new theme. The attraction has been closed since 2021 undergoing construction.

Shortly after the news broke, Universal Orlando tweeted the following:

The Jurassic World VelociCoaster has a theme. It’s Raptors. And being awesome.

With Disney making a change to the beloved experience and rumors circulating on what the new theme might be, Universal Orlando perfectly timed its Tweet to hilariously ensure that everyone knows that its newest and, perhaps, most thrilling attraction– which opened last year– already has a theme in place and it’s “awesome.”
