Universal is constantly updating and refurbishing attractions, so they run smoothly and safely for Guests. Inside the Magic has been covering the latest on these closures. If you’re a dino-lover, now is not the time to visit Universal Orlando Resort or Universal Studios Hollywood, as the same attraction is closed.

Of course, we’re talking about Jurassic World-The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and Jurassic Park River Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort.

Inside Universal tweeted a photo where we can see that the popular Universal Hollywood ride has been completely drained.

While this attraction is closed for refurbishment, there are many more attractions Guests can visit. Universal Studios Hollywood is doing their best to reopen this attraction as soon as possible, and the popular attraction is set to reopen on February 9, 2023.

Universal Studios Hollywood describes Jurassic World-The Ride like this:

“Guests prepare themselves for the evolution of Jurassic World – The Ride. Guest will enter an immersive land and come face-to-face with the Indominus rex as she stalks you through the jungle. Get caught in the fray as she’s confronted by her archrival, the Tyrannosaurus rex, in an epic battle for the ages. Jurassic World – The Ride features a relaxing cruise through dense vegetation to see incredible dinosaurs…until, something goes wrong when the lndominus rex escapes from her paddock.”
